Splendid Sword

An old, worn sword hangs above the splendid table.

It emits a gloomy aura.

As you approach, the keys in your pocket

suddenly respond with a mysterious power.

You decide to leave

the sword alone.

While you get closer and closer, the sword shakes with a loud noise.

Your eyes keep getting drawn to the sword's hilt.

Then you lose control of your hands, and they stretch forth to grasp the handle...

By an unknown calling you decide to grab the blade of the sword.

Your hands get wounded and begin to bleed.

By an unknown calling you decide to grab the hilt of the sword.

The mysterious power from the keys transfers to the sword, and it falls from the table.

At the same time, a little hole appears on the table's surface.

Now, you hold the sword and...

You strike the table with the sword.

Numerous conflicting spells act upon it, and you can tell that you chose incorrectly.

The sword automatically returns to the table, as it was before.

As you insert the sword, lightning flashes around it and black smoke rises from the hole.

Slowly the smoke clears, and you see an object with a certain shape...

All of a sudden, a Black Key appears from the smoke and you feel a great cursed power from it.

A drawer had snapped open under the table while you picked up the key and observed it.

You can see an old notebook inside the drawer.

The notebook definitely looks like it contains an important message.

Maybe this notebook is the one that Rekenber wants to find, even with all the sacrifices.

You decide to show the notebook and the keys to Burled.

You received Varmunt's Journal.

When you lift the sword, you feel a shock from numerous conflicting spells.

Right... stealing is the worst.

You stretch your hands to find something under the table, but there is nothing.

You strongly feel a cursed, sealed power from here,

but it is hard to figure out what is causing it.

You cannot approach it.

You have already released a seal using this sword.

You've acquired everything you need from here.
