“Oh! I almost
forgot. There’s more. He said that knife you’ve got there isn’t really a
knife. It’s a demon’s horn. So, when you made that vow and sealed it with
blood it bound you for all of eternity to your words.” The boy eyed the weapon warily, taking a step
back. “Why would you go and do a thing
like that?”
“Obviously, we didn’t know this was a demon horn full of
black magic and that our words would be used as a curse to bind us to this
Earth until the end of time.” Eleon snapped back harshly. “I can’t believe I’ve done this to you,
brothers. There must be a way to release
all of you. Were it not for my pride and
my vain attempt to inspire the men, none of you would be in this mess. I promise you, I will find…”
In an attempt to lighten the
severity of the moment, Linus reached out and snatched the horn-dagger from
Eleon’s hand.
“Cut that out!”
Linus laughed, playfully punching his friend’s shoulder. “No more promises while this infernal thing
exists or who knows what sorcery will befall us. Come now, there is no fault
here. You did not force anyone to follow
your lead. We believed in your words
then and we still do now. ”
