know your weapons are weak, so I am here to give you a new weapon.”
She took her scythe and gave it to Leosher “This is a gift from a sister to her brother. This will help you in hard times.”
Leosher took detailed yet brief look at it. It was a shiny scythe with an extremely sharp blade at the end and was made of supernatural gold. Its handle was coiled and was about an arm’s length long.
Virgil asked Arusus “What is your power, whose god are you?”
“I am the goddess of Wisdom and Weapons and know exactly what type of weapon one deserves or needs. This scythe is not just a weapon, it represents something. I can tell you that you should use a sword, not battle axes.”
Then she looked at Leosher “I have to leave now. I do not have much time to waste here but I would like to tell you one thing, be good to your loved ones and treat them nicely. If you lose them, you never gain them again and trust me, by the rate at which you are changing, you will need them.”
Then she got up and started to walk out of the tent but then she stopped and looked back “And one more thing, take the path of the Mermaids. There might be a surprise for you that you might like and you might get a chance to test your new weapon.”
Then she got out and looked up, and suddenly, her body caught on the same blue and gold fire and she shot up in the sky with the same golden tail and soon she vanished away.
The Empirion army was left star struck because it was the first time they had seen a goddess at her full glory. Then suddenly, a hawk came and gave Leosher a parchment. The reason why they received the letter so fast was that the hawks fly very high in the sky and fly very fast, which makes them very fast.
The letter was from Lamfari. Leosher snatched the letter and broke the red seal on it and began reading it:
Leosher,
I have heard you have grown impatient and intolerable and that you have accused me of being a scam and sending you on a sham quest. I am sorry if you had to wait a bit but I have returned the letter as fast as I could. Thank Neiham for she chose a hawk that could fly fast and did not keep you waiting any longer. Now, I know that you are angry but you have to do some work. You are the only one that can see the hidden valley. You have to build a galleon and go towards the mermaid waters. That will give you an area to search for the hidden valley.
Lamfari
Leosher called Azar and said to him “Do you know how to build a ship?”
“Yes,” he said “My lord, we can and we shall.”
Leosher nodded and called Virgil too “Take the men and use them and build a ship as fast as you all possibly can. The beach is connected to a forest. Go there and get the wood.”
Virgil nodded and took Azar and the entire Empirion army to the forests and Leosher was left alone, all alone on the shore of the Big Sea….
It was now night so Leosher started a fire. He sat around it and thought about how to gain more power. He was truly going evil now and it was showing on his face. He had a sinister look on his face. He sat around the fire and stared in the fire but then he fell asleep, into a deep sleep. It was instant, within a matter of seconds. In his sleep, he saw a shadowy figure. It was wearing a hood on his head and had red eyes, bright red eyes with no pupils. It looked like a god but was very different too. Its face was hard to see but it was sitting on a throne made out of bones and skulls. He sat around fire and lava. The man was looking very malevolent and there were creatures, hailing it and praising it. The creatures were hideous. Half of them were burnt and half of them were on fire.
Their skin was melting off of their bodies and some Minotaur like creatures were whipping them with chains. The man got up and said loudly “Join me and I will give you an
