A/N: I am now trying to cram as much writing into the weekend as possible, fairly difficult considering I have to finish 18 French workbook pages and a reading guide for history. Anyway, I was very pleased with the Dream sequence of last chapter, Dream sequences are normally one of my many weak points.
Valen was getting irritated, he wanted to know how Dawn had known about the camp while no one else could detect it. When he had asked Dusk, she had merely replied "It is not my secret to tell"
Dawn wouldn't tell him either, so that left one other person to ask, Valen grimaced.
"How did Dawn know about the camp?" Valen asked Deekin.
"Deekin not knows, But Boss's sister knows lots of things like that, Deekin be thinking she sees future or something. Why you wants to know goat-man?" Deekin said.
"No reason" Valen said, thinking about what Deekin had said.
"I don't get it, what is worth less than a shard of glass?" Said Dawn.
The group had made it into Shaori's Fell (A/N: that it's name?) and were talking to the merchant.
Dusk picked up a bit of dirt from the ground.
"Dirt can grow something," The merchant smirked.
"What is going to grow down here?" Dusk replied.
The merchant quickly lost his smirk.
"Looks like it is behind the library" Dusk said, leading the way with the merchant's compass.
They found the shard in some garbage.
"Do you smell something burning?" Nathyrra asked.
"it is coming from the library" Said Dawn.
They walked into the library, only to be stopped by a winged elf.
"You can't come in here! This is a public place!" Said the elf.
"That doesn't make sense" Said Nathyrra.
The elf paused for a second "you are right, that doesn't make any sense does it?" the elf suddenly doubled over in pain.
"Are you alright?" Dusk asked.
"I am fine" the elf said, it was over as soon as it had begun, "the reason you cannot go in there is because my wife has become a medusa."
"How?"
"I do not know, But perhaps it had something to do with the mirror shard my wife mentioned when I spoke to her." The elf said.
"How did you speak to her?"
"When she was turned into a Medusa, her makeup was turned into a potion that allowed me to gaze on her safely, there is a little bit left in the room we had shared if you wish to speak to her." The elf said.
"Okay" Dusk turned to the rest of them. "one of us is going to have to sneak into that room and get the potion"
"I'll go" Said Nathyrra "I have a spell of invisibility" Nathyrra cast it on herself and went through the door.
"Mud" Said Dawn, they were in the library talking to the medusa.
"Since when was mud shining and bright?" Valen said.
"Mud is the correct answer" the medusa said to everyone but Dawn's surprise.
The Medusa handed Dusk the Mirror shard.
When they left the library, Valen decided to ask Dusk something.
"What makes you so special?" He asked.
Dusk wondered what he meant, but could not resist her mischievous tendency of words.
"Besides my charm and beauty you mean?" She said with a smirk.
Valen fought the urge to smile at this. "Though you have much of both, I meant why you have replaced me as leader of our forces"
'was that a compliment?' Dusk thought before she realized what he said 'me? Leading people! No no no no!'
"I don't understand what you mean"
"I mean, that one moment I am leading them, the next, you appear and" He made a slashing move with his arm "It is over"
"Isn't that a bit dramatic?"
"Being dramatic is one of my specialties" he said dryly.
"I didn't ask to lead them, but I will as best I can" Dusk said.
A/N: hopefully that will be long enough, don't forget to look at my bad attempt at a picture of my characters :) it should give a general idea of what they look like, please review!
