ZAHRA TOOK IN A LONG BREATH, seating herself on a nearby log. "So, this brooch is a key to help the creature Lykaon get his body back?" Zahra spoke in an uneasy tone as she tried to comprehend all he had told her.

Raconteur sat down beside her and placed his hand on her shoulder with a reassuring smile. "Allow me to explain it in less detail for you in case all that was far too much to handle." Raconteur talked in a deep tone, "Lykaon needs your power to become whole enough to gain his material form. As of this time he operates on the spiritual plane, making his reach limited. If he can get you to give up your powers, the dove pin will absorb it, and he can then consume your abilities. That then would give him enough of a physical presence to absorb the forces from all the gems. If Lykaon consumes all the gemstones, then the end of Welkinia would be imminent."

Zahra's eyes grew wide at his straightforward explanation. Every conceivable horror seemed to flash before her eyes when she recalled the damning words Raconteur had spoken. She took a moment to once again relax. The journey ahead was a pleasant one as the two chatted and strolled down the forest path.

Zahra turned to Raconteur as she weaved delicate flowers into her thick brown locks, breathing out a long sigh. "What is my brooch made of?"

"It's called a Virtera stone!" Raconteur began as a bright smile spread across his face. "You most likely haven't heard of it, my dear. It is the rarest of gems in this land though it looks identical to the white opal. Legend says the king of the Trossian people created the Virtera stone. If you know the story of Galadon, you would see why it is believed he created it."

Zahra looked at him with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he was talking about. With a shake of his head, Raconteur then explained.

"A race of being called the Trossian once overran the land of Welkinia. These creatures could take pieces of your soul and use it to add years to their own lives. The people called them Soul Eaters for a quite some time before someone gave them a proper name. At first, they would sap all the life out of humans at once, though they learned that they could keep their victims alive by slowly 'milking' them of their vitality. A soul will recover after a loss of its power, so by the time the human's soul has been restored, the Trossian would once again drain most of it away. It's complex, but horrifying!

"These monsters became so abundant that they conquered entire provinces and appointed themselves a king who called himself Galadon. He vowed he would rule over Welkinia and take the soul of Sotiris to live for eternity! Though we know how that must have ended. With little of a second thought, Sotiris
