Darkside 15 

Bette walked through the streets of Dor Eneg Elen with Kit. The market was bustling with people buying everything artifacts and books to fruits and meats. No one paid either of them any attention, but that is the way they wanted. 

They entered the only modern building on the square. The sign out front said Neled Megil with three swords crossing each other. 

“Welcome.” A peculiar man dressed vibrantly greeted them. 

“I understand you have a acquired something I may be interested in.” Bette responded. 

“Yes this way. I am not sure why you would be interested in an old box that won’t open.” He said as he lead them back to the vault.

“The reasons for interest is of no importance to you.” Bette said coldly. The man nodded and continued walking. 

Once in the vault he slid a key into a lock and pressed his thumb against a clear screen then turned the key. 

Lock box 430 opened to reveal an old wooden box. The man removed the box and sat it on the table in the center of the vault. 

Bette and Kit examined it. 

“I’ll take it. How much?” Bette asked. He wrote a number on a piece of paper and slid it over to her. She thought how could he put a price on priceless item. If he only knew what it contained.

Bette looked a the price and then nodded to Kit. Kit lifted a briefcase and placed it on the table. 

“This should cover and then some.” Bette said as Kit opened the case to reveal that it was full of gold pieces. 

“Yes thank you. I’ll just have this counted and your change returned.” The man closed the box and left the vault

“You keep it.” Kit conjured another briefcase and placed the wooden box inside and closed it. Bette and Kit left the man in the vault.

“Tasha where are we going?” Tina asked. 

“Here this is where we are going.” She stopped walking. 

“Where are we?” Tina asked. 

“The Library.” Tasha started up the stairs. 

“How is a library going to help us?” Tina asked.
