A/N: Help. I need a beta reader for this story. There's more information about it in my bio.
Chapter Seven: Angflauhgdean Ticket to Heaven
With a smile, Darla reaches under her pillow and brings out an amulet. Lindsey sits up for a better look. It at first glance appears to be made of clay, though when inspected closely, is obviously made with something much stronger. A symbol is carved into it and traced with black ink. It hangs from a simple thin rope. It looks to be some cheap item that can be bought at any trinket store, but Lindsey knows it must be much, much more valuable.
Darla takes his hand and puts the amulet in it. "This," she tells him, "is our ticket to heaven."
"What is it?"
She rolls her eyes. "An amulet. What did you think?"
"I know it's an amulet, but what does it do?"
"It acts as a compass. When someone wears it and says the hocus-pocus word, a little light appears on it pointing in the direction of the nearest being who shouldn't be here. You can do spells, right?"
He shrugs. "I've done a few."
"Then put it on."
He obliges, asking, "Where did you find this?"
"On my pillow."
"On your pillow," he repeats incredulously.
"I figured the Powers must be trying to tell me something." She reaches over the head of the bed to get something off the nightstand: a piece of paper with unworldy writing. She hands it to Lindsey. "Can you read that?"
He takes one look at it and says, "It's Taurok. Angflauhgde."
Just as Darla said, a small glow appears on the amulet. It circles the edge a few times before locking onto a location. When he moves the amulet, the glow slides on the edge to another position so that it's still pointing toward that location.
Darla smiles. "Let's go."
A/N: I seem to have a thing with weird words. Angflauhgde, Ahovql, Gnupk, Ghavfke, Achlooke... But usually I just use them in The Sims. Hehe. Please review, yada yada yada. Thank you very much.
