Apparently each kings have a different personality inside if Hans head. Since over three hundred years there had been twenty one wizard kings. Han had to go about identifying each personality in his head and then subduing it so that the king only shared information when important or needed. This was an absolutely alien concept to Han who had only ever had his own thoughts in his head. Crow had him take off his Rowan talisman and let him inside Hans head to help. The hardest part was that while trying to control one of the voices the other voices were still clamoring for his attention. Crow might be able to shove them back for a moment while shouting instructions, but sometimes a thought or two would get through. Thoughts and information information like, had he noticed the ruby necklace that caused paralysis, or the onyx ring that could erase your foot prints. With each bauble came more information about when it was purchased or how much power it used. Sometimes he got images of events that happened in the treasure filled room and even rarer did he actually get glimpses of the kings themselves. For one brief second Han caught a glimpse of Crow in the chamber taking the stone cup and drinking the red flame himself. Then another image of a sword encrusted with crystals came to the forefront of images and Crow was lost. One by one as Han and Crow got his mind in order the voices calmed and his head cleared. His headache dimmed until he hardly noticed it. Though the effects of the flame were wearing off somewhat Han's amulet still poured out power like it would never end as he sustained the clock that was stopping time. Finally Han came to the last personality which was Crows. Han could sense Crow intense desire to accept challenges and prove everyone wrong when he was the under dog. His deep sense of confidence and what was like an endless river of knowledge that flowed from him. Han also sensed a softer side that he couldn't place with the Crow he knew. Maybe before everything had gone wrong Crow really had love Hannalea, just maybe. Before he could read into Crows personality the real Crow shoved himself inside Hans head where Han could no longer read him. The whole ordeal had taken around two and a half hours by Crows calculations. As they finished Crow slipped back of of Hans head and Han replaced the talisman.
"So that's how you managed to foil me. Dancer already has a good start on flash crafting I see.", Crow nodded to the talisman.
"Well I wasn't just going to roll over and let you into my head again.", Han shot back.
Raising his hand Crow backed off, "Fair enough fair enough."
Han picked the metal pin stopping the clock and replaced it back into the clock. As he did he felt a small jerk as time started ticking away again.
"Don't go just yet, just try one spell for me please. Get the staff without touching it.", Crow asked.
Han thought about it. It was some test he knew, but he wasn't sure what he was being tested on. He already knew several spells to get the staff to him from this distance, but that would be too easy. Then a thought came to him, what if Crow wanted him to make a new spell. Grinning Han grasped his amulet Han used words he'd never heard before, but understood them perfectly thanks to the kings. he gestured to a chest filled with golden coins and said,
"Waio Fri Ki" or Bring it to me in the common tongue and then gestured to the staff. One by one a pile of golden coin bounced out of the chest and into a single file line and then hope onto each other. Han watched in amazement as the coins came together to form a small man made of coins. The man ran across the room and scooped up the box the staff was in and jumped off the table with the staff and ran over to Han. The coin man then lifted the box above his head and presented it to Han. As soon as Han had grabbed the box the coin man fell apart into single coins once again.
Crow clapped,
"Excellent job, maybe a bit more extravagant than I had in mind, but you get the idea. Magic is now your tool to create what you wish with. All you need is your power and creativity and nothing can stop you. This room may be filled with treasure, but you have gotten the most important one. Use it wisely please. Now let us go to Dancer he has been waiting long enough has he not?"
Han took one last look around and gripped his amulet. With his other hand he gripped the staff and made sure he had the knife he had picked out and said to Crow,
"Grab my shoulder and lets get going!"
Crow gripped his shoulder and Han led the way through the mirror.
