Chapter 4
             The Seer
  
    To their surprise, the mistress was a beautiful young eleven maiden who looked just like the goddess Ehlonna herself.
   “Welcome Princess Fearathress of the elves, Lord Rogan, young Wollmort, Dagna of the dwarfs, and young Lord Bladen Krest of the Drows, to Shadow Keep. I will be able to answer your questions when the next full moon comes out. This is because I see things in the full moon more than in any other moon. You may stay here in the keep until the preparations are done, since it has come to my knowledge that the four mind flares that you killed sent images to their brethrens of who you were and they are searching for you as we speak. It is more comfortable in here than out there, I am sure. I will also need your help for the preparations…”
   “How do you know this?” snapped Fearathress.
   “Well before you interrupted me, my sister, I was going to tell you…”
   “How dare you call me that? You are not my sister,” shouted Fearathress back at her.
   “Anyways, I know this because it does not take much magic to see what happens in my forest. So it was quite easy to see where you were in my forest, besides it is my servants I get must of my news from.” Continued Lura
“I will send some of my servants about getting your rooms. We will start in tomorrow with the preparations, so I can get some rest and you can get some too.”
   “How long will it take?” asked Dagna
   “It will take twenty-four days Dagna,” answered Lura
   The next day, the companions were woken up at dawn by some servants of the keep and told to go down to the kitchen for a swift breakfast, and then after they were done, meet the mistress in the seeing room in the west wing. It is the twentieth chamber on the left, and they were to knock five times and wait for entry. The companions ate their breakfast swiftly, hurried down the corridor, knocked five times, and waited for right of entry.
   “Good morning. I hope you slept well. Let us get down to business shall we? First, I am going to need blood from Bladen and Fearathress. Then I am going to need four leaves from the Divine tree in the forest. Third, I am going to need help from all of you to help me brew the water. Then I will need you to help me pour all one hundred gallons of the water into the Dragons Eye, and then I will pray for the next twenty days with the help of Dagna so, I can get my power to control and see what we need to answer your questions.” Said Lura
   “ What do you mean you need Bladen's and my blood, and what in blasted world are you going to need us to go out and get you four leaves from the tree of the Divine for when you know that we can’t go out there?” snapped Fearathress back
   “Well I need blood from Bladen and you because I have no one else in the keep I can get magical blood from. I cannot just take blood from myself, it just would not work. Besides, who said I was sending you out there to get the leaves. I am going to send my most trusted servant out and get them for us.” Snapped Lura back
   On the twenty-fifth day at midnight Lura and Dagna, caste the spell and they could see Amastica the head of the council in a small dungeon in the Edlwen Forest. That was all the companions could see, but Lura and Dagna had seen more.
    “Who is keeping Amastica?” asked Rogan
   “Who else would keep her, a dragon high lord, orks, and a cleric of Vergenal the god of pure evil? Now that you know the answers to your questions, I want you to out of this keep by the next dawn.” Said Lura
   She saw something that the other people did not besides, Dagna and she wanted them out of Shadow Keep immediately. At that moment, Dagna fell dead. The group buried him that afternoon, after their dinner and left that following morning.
