Goblin (5)

Feather took a deep breath. Creating runes took lots of energy. Symbol returned to the book.
"Now, how do we 'keep' the rune? The magic is weak, there must be some way we can make it stronger..." She scanned the page again. Key walked over another book stand that stood up against the wall. On the front in faded golden letters were these words:
"The book of Royals past - Eht koob fo Slayor tsap"
Key opened the cover. She waited a few seconds to see if this book would flip to some other page, but it didn't. Before Key could read it, Symbol called her over. Key put her daggers on the open book and went back over to Symbol and Feather.
"Key, here it says: The warrior Key, same of the mother Joyen, must leave the castle, find the caster of written and save the king. Key our mother was named Joyen." Symbol looked worriedly at Key. Feather read over the sentences again.
"This means that you need you leave, find a caster or whatever that is and 'become' like our mother. She was a warrior, and you are one to. But how your a warrior I don't know. I thought you'd always end up as a spellcaster or something." Feather gave Key the same look that Symbol gave her. Then Key realized something.
"Feather, your a genius! Spellcaster, caster, I need to find a spellcaster. Quick look, is there any names on there other than Mom's and ours?!" Key ran her finger along the lines of the page, looking for another name, something that fit.
"Here!" She said pointing at a name.
"Thell Lethix. I need to find the caster Thell Lethix....How?" Key's exitement faded. Now what? Symbol put one hand on her hip and the other under her chin, this was her thinking pose.
"Hey, I know a spellcaster of sorts by the name of Thell. He might be the person your looking for. He lives on the outscerts of the city. In a forest cottage, with an old Oracle." Key went back over the books of Royals past. She took up her daggers from it's pages, they were light and seemed to glow with some forgotten magic. Feather put a hand on Key's shoulder.
"I'll get some travel stuff ready. The faster you help papa the faster you both can come home. But I don't know why we have to do all of this fancy stuff. But whatever it is, you'll be alright. Symbol and I will send out runes to Space. She will protect you on your journey." Feathers words were sooting and kind. Symbol nodded and went over to the door.
"C'mon, we've got some packing to do." She said this in a encouraging tone and left the room heading back to their father's chambers. Feather followed Symbol. Key stood there for a moment and looked around her. The rune on the floor glowed with a milky glow. She looked down at her hands, the daggers... They had been her mothers. Key looked back up at the door.
"Come on key!" Her sisters called to her. Key took a deep breath to clear her head, and went back into the hallway leading to her father room. She closed the metal entwined door, quietly behind her.
