I looked at the Wolf...and then at the Wizard. I had been around a long time and had never had a partnership like this...It was definitely going to kill me. If it wasnt going to be monsters, it would be one of them...and if it wasnt one of them...they would probably drive me to kill myself...

Rowen began searching his pockets in earnest.

"Well, oh mighty wizard, what now?" The sarcasm dripped from Shendrons mouth.
The wizard shot him a look before revealing a sparkling blue crystal from one of his many many hidden pockets. It dangled from a silver chain.

"I have not seen one of those in a good few hundred years." I said.
Rowen focused on the jewel, "I'm amazed you've seen one at all, they are very rare. I think 3 exist in this world."
"You will be surprised how much of the world you can see when all you have is time."

Rowen began mumbling some kind of incantation. The crystal began to sway back and forth, it swirled and then suddenly stood still facing a very ugly, grey, brick wall.

"Woohoo!" Yelled Shendron in fake enthusiasm. "Onwards!"
I sighed. This day could not get any worse.
