sheath and take the knife out of it. It radiates enough light for me to see and I place it on my lap. The bread is fresh and I share it with Jast. After we eat a couple of pieces I find the leather pouch that Tom had given me. I open it and find a book, a letter and a few odds and ends. I open the letter and I am shocked to see Gramma June’s scrawled handwriting. My sweet Ivy. You probably are wondering wha t’s going on and how those folks got this letter. You gotta trust meand not question what I’m gonna tell you. There is a dark movement that’s coming to destroy everything. When the war started a few months ago the powers of the dark started to be unleashed from the realm of the dead. It was foretold that they would deceive world leaders into unleashing great destruction on each other. When the great powers fell, the gates between underworld and our world would be breached. The days of evil are coming and the people who are left will be hunted down like animals. The dark creatures of the abyss are waiting for leaders to destroy each other. At the appointed time hell will be unleashed on earth. The old is becoming new again. You will be a light in the darkness. Long ago you were chosen and you will now be equipped. Each leg of your journey will unlock doors for you. Many beings will help you along the way and many more are trying to destroy you. Follow the light that is in your heart. Things are not what they seem so you gotta be always on guard. Evil may come in the disguise of good and what seems dark may contain light. When all else fails look within yourself for the answers. Trying to put it all together may seem impossible. You will form strategic alliances. Look in the most unlikely places and they will be revealed. You may find good in what appears evil and evil in what appears good. Trust no one. Keys are found in many realms. You may cross over into hidden places and times past to find them. Listen for what cannot be heard. Train your sight to see that which is unseen. You may walk into the unseen to find the hidden. To find the path, look back into the past, and make old things new again. You may find the future in ruins. From times of old there are those who hold pieces of the puzzle. The past survived to the present and holds keys to what you seek now. There is one who holds the key to your future. We will be together again. Grandma June How can I be chosen when I don’t even believe in myself?I put Gramma June’s letter back in the pouch and look through the rest of the things inside. The book has the appearance of something from another century. The leather is thick and the tooling on it is intricate. There are words etched in the spine that are from an ancient language. On the front of the cover is the symbol of the square with the triangle inside of it. When I open the inside cover there are a few words in Old English and an ancient script below it. A series of symbols are written across the bottom of the page. And along the border are tiny horses that are raised slightly off the page. They match the ones that adorn Anathema. I run my fingers gently over them and get a sense that they are alive under my fingers. I must be losing my mind and pull my fingers quickly off of them. I must be losing my mind to think the horse symbols are alive. The wise will find the truth. The stars of twilight will be dark when the hidden is illuminated. Ye may look for the light in darkness and there lies the answer. The paper of the book is yellowed and made of fine parchment. Anxious to find out what it all means I turn the first page and it is blank. I thumb through page after page and find they are all blank. What does it all mean? Could it be text that is unseen to the naked eye? If that’s the case then where do I find the means to see it? Does this have to do with the refiners fire? Where do I find it? Grandma June was wise even beyond her years. I know
