Orn's Tear



*Keppli leans against a tall boulder, scribbling the words down quickly*

Threas, Junar 26, 1441

The group set out from Fort Miritrix... We were going for Orn's Tear, though I wasn't going to steal it, I was going to try and help in case things got out of hand, and they did let me tell you.
It was quite exciting though... we fought our way to the fortress slowly, I fell a couple of times, and the second time I did... I eventually blinked my eyes open... and suddenly there was something wrong... I was overcome by feelings of... anger, hatred... my fists and teeth clenched with the anger... I could barely control it inside, and felt oblivious to everyone round me... so much so that I can't quite remember how it happened... I do remember something about a horned horse though...
Anyway, once we made it inside the fortress, some elements ablaze in front of us... I felt myself calm down, I only realised then how hard I'd been gripping my bow. I hope nobody noticed.
I was a bit nervous what was going to happen when ... if we found the tear, I mean, there was no telling what Steel might do, though I knew Story wanted to give it to Fisty. I'd destroy it myself... but since I think of Storold as a friend, I'd help him get it if I could.
We dashed down passageways... fighting our way through them... until we finally made it to a room.
It seemed like it was on fire, but soon the fires died down. It was stacked with ancient books, there was a desk with papers scattered everywhere. The corner of the room glowed faintly... and we made our way across to see a globe... it was Orn's Tear.
Steel reached forward towards the Tear. It was just... amazing... the room seemed to well... ripple. Storold raised his arms to cast a spell, and everyone looked his way, wide-eyed. He was trying to stop Steel getting the Tear! Abiorn stepped in, trying to cast a spell at Storold, and they were countering each other.
FOOSH!
Everything seemed to be in chaos! I was trying to think desperately what to do, but I don't think I coulda helped much... only by pleading to Steel to hand it over before it's too late...

He didn't listen until the very end of this journey though... The elementals became enraged and started to lash out, I turned and tried to get to Tod so we could get out... I couldn't let my friends get hurt. At that moment a red, flaming sword went through me...ZAAPP! I fell...
I don't know what happened then, but I woke up back at Fort Miritrix. I coughed a bit, then glanced round and sighed.
At least we all made it out, but I think I'm gonna have to make some more bandages... Tod fell back there too and his arm looked badly burnt...

That was one of the most exciting adventures I've been on... and also a bit terrifying... I thought I was gonna get to see another dragon though...

Ah well. It's all over... for now
