'Has he got any magic stuff on him?' the librarian asked. 'You know, magic sword or wand or such?'

'Of course,' Glacier answered, annoyed at the question. Dragus the Reaving Knight wielded the Black Sword as everybody knew. 'What's that got to do with anything?'

The librarian smiled. 'Well, that just made finding him much easier, that's all. See, what you need is the Books of the Holders.'

Slow and meticulous, Heathen had a great deal to prove to the other witches of her coven. So, she set out to do the impossible: the wand of death.

'Uncle Humblestaff?' the young hero responded. 'Of course I know the man. Wouldn't have had a chance at the academy without a word from him. He's the big guy over there, surrounded by all those adventurers.'
