 SS Featured Writer Lovely Lady
Charlie hesitated, hearing the question that was the most difficult to answer. He turned to Conan and with great sorrow in his eyes said, "I really hate to tell you this, but they are no longer here. A huge bolt of green came down from the sky, thrown by the dark wizards, and they were both knocked dead instantly." He placed a hand on the other man's shoulder in comfort then paused a moment, his breathing was getting a little heavy at this point. "After that, the wizards disappeared, almost as if they had never been there, except for the darkness and despair they left behind, of course. But the thing with these wizards, I have never seen such strength of character. Bianca and I threw everything we had at them, we hit them with all manner of attacking creatures and spells of every sort, and they were pretty much unphased, just kept on coming. From this, I know that the object they are seeking is one of the utmost power, in fact, I have a very good idea of exactly what it is. And I think you do, too."
Charlie stopped and looked at Conan very intently. By his expression, he knew he was correct. Conan's eyes were lowered, almost as if in shame for the terrible secret he held, as if even knowing about the secret was a crime, which it certainly wasn't. They were searching for the most deadly and dangerous artifact that could ever exist. So it really was true, not a myth. "Do you know what grave danger we are all in?", Charlie whispered. "They are going to keep coming back and coming back until they find what they're looking for, unless we find a way to stop them. And Conan, we HAVE to find a way to stop them, otherwise we are doomed, all of us! I'm sure you're aware of this, as well." Finally he spoke in a very soft tone, almost a whisper, "I know what it is these people seek. It's the power of life and death."
