wounds with her potion which was an elixir contained in a small, leather bottle. It was made to heal any kind of wounds, internal or external, apparently. It was dark blue in color and was made by the rare blue lava rose that only grew once a year, on top of Mount Dabaccan but only a few knew how to make it. That place was known to be where the gates of Ratarus were but no one was sure about it. Only a few drops of the elixir healed the warriors and rejuvenated them all and all of their fatigue and tiredness was now gone. Leosher did not need healing because his mother had already done so, but after he caught his breath, he got up and thanked them all.
         “What happened, Son?” asked Azar “Why did you come here in the first place?”
         “I was sleeping but then I heard a noise, I saw that a white, giant beast that was eating my horse.”
         “It must have been a Yeti” said Neiham while giving Leosher his cloak, armor, sandals and his spears          “What did it look like?”
         “It was big with a lot of white and blue fur. It had long and yellow teeth. There was fire in his eyes and blood on his hands.”
         “Well it is good that you are okay” said Virgil while patting him on his back “Now let us go back and get some sleep. You should sit by the fire, for you have been out the longest and you have been wet the longest too. Let us go!”
         T hey all left for the initial place they were waiting at and all sat around the fire, in the orange light with the warmth around them. They sat in a ring and listened to the stories that the Elf brothers had to tell about their adventures and soon, everyone fell asleep and the fire slowly died down in the snow.
     
       
    CHAPTER 4
     
     
     
     
         It was still night when Asurot appeared in Virgil’s dream.
         “Virgil, do not be scared for it is I, Asurot” she said in her angelic and runic voice “I have appeared in your dream to tell you something.”
         Both stood in the same white void that she had appeared in when she came to talk to Leosher.
         Virgil marveled at her beauty but she was like his mother “I am ready” he said “Tell me.”
         “You are like my son, for you are Leosher’s brother; remember that my blessings will always be with you but I warn you, for there is the seed of evil and chaos in Leosher. He will grow arrogant and power hungry and his thoughts will become clouded with evil if you do not take care of him properly. He will turn chaotic and I want you to stop that. Keep him away from bad, be his guardian and I will reward you heavily.”
         “I do not want a reward” Virgil replied “He is my brother and I have to protect him at all costs. Even when others might leave him, you will always find me at his side, fighting beside him, through all the battles and wars.”
         “You have made me happy son, you are marvelous. As a reward, I will grant you one wish.”
         Virgil stood there stunned in the white void with nothing in front of him except the glorious Asurot. He thought for a moment and then he said “I do not have a wish yet, but I will tell you when I have something to ask for.”
         Asurot nodded and departed from his dream and left Virgil at peace.
         The next morning, everyone got up and got ready. Leosher put on his armor and his cloak that he had taken off before going to sleep and he tied his hair back with a piece of string. After all were ready, they sat on their horses and began their journey except for Leosher, for his horse had been eaten by the beast. He rode with Virgil.
         Azar led all of them and after going a bit further down the icy mountain, Azar turned around on his horse “Tonight, we expect to get to the Land of the Death. There are many legends about a Beast that turns people to stone. She lives in a morbid, stony land. Only the brave and the strong willed have been able to
