Chapter Three
The next day…
The girls bid goodbye to Winston as they left in Lara's Jeep. They had packed supplies enough for 2 weeks and they were heading to the local museum to find out more about Kurtis. The desk clerk was polite and gave them information (Even if it was a little of it!).
"Well the criminal came and broke in here and they say he was after an artifact of great power. It is said that the Black Alchemist had created two black stones in the shape of scarabs a long time ago and if they combined then this could be the end of the world. It was taken away from him by the Mage Council, but when the Council was destroyed, the scarabs were scattered apart. "
"Is the other half in the museum?" Lara asked in a low voice.
"No," she said, "It is- was in a museum located in Japan."
"Was?" asked Lara.
"Yes it was stolen at 4:00pm yesterday. It couldn't have been the same person though, because our half was taken at 2:00pm."
"Could we see the scarab?" asked Rikku
The clerk was about to answer when someone in the shadows called her.
"Sorry, the boss calls." She bid them farewell.
