Recap: "Would you like to rest, or do you want information about the Dagger??" The four turned to look at each other and after a few seconds of silence turned and said they wanted information. Jenna shrugged and the bowls on the tables flew to a sink in the corner and a few big books floated and replaced the bowls. "Well, you can begin reading while I get you your lunch."

          Magnus flipped the worn book open. They pages were slightly burnt at the edges but apart from the This Book Belongs to Lady Horne written on the front page, there was nothing else in the approximately 300 page book.

          "Jenna, there are no words in the book??" Alex called out. "Oh yes. I forgot to mention. Ask the book about what you want." Nico expressed his gratitude and sat next to Magnus. "Kindly tell us the location of the Dagger of Darkness, please." Adri softly said to the book, settling down beside Alex and swinging her arm around her.

          The book that was previously shut levitated into the air and suddenly the pages began to flip. It stopped and when they finally looked into it, written in an ancient language that, weirdly enough, they understood. In this strange script, they saw:

 (So sorry if you couldn't get that. It says: 

Iceland is where you must be,

Go there and you will see,

A dagger that might look a little antique.

It will be hard, but fear not mortal,

For there will be a portal,

That will get you where you desire,

Which is to the heart of a dead empire. 

I know it's crappy. Pls forgive me)

          "That is not concerning at all. Finding something at the heart of a living empire is hard enough, but at the heart of a dead one??!! It's probably underground!!" Adri exclaimed, reading the poem again. "It also speaks of a portal. Maybe we should ask our friendly neighbourhood witch to make one?" Magnus asked. "We probably should." Alex stated and Nico muttered a few words of agreement.

          And so it was agreed. When Jenna came to them with fresh sandwiches, Nico asked her for a favour. "Jenna, thanks for the lunch. And also, the book states we need a portal to get to Iceland. We were all thinking you should be the one to cast it.." he said, looking at the others. "Is it so." Jenna answered, taking the book from them and reading it for herself.

          Her expression was hard to make out but one thing was clear, she was puzzled. She swiped her hand above the page and once again it levitated and new information appeared on the page. Jenna took a minute to read it and another minute to let it sink in.
