Timberlane had listened to their tale and it sounded much like the one he had told them. The timing was around the same time and it seemed another with power had been turned to the Dark and Evil Ways. He looked at the three elves one after the other as he rubbed his bearded chin. He as a wizard and understood magic, how to control the power of it, but when it came to seeing the future as some said they could, he didn't know but there was more to the prophecy then that one day the four keys would be reunited. "The first will come far from the West and will point the way to the others." he muttered. The three elves had come far from the west. Could it be, could one of them have it?"<br/><br/>"What was that?" Lotharn asked. "What will come from the west?"<br/><br/>Timberlane looked at Lotharn. "The first of the keys." he said. A piece of black crystal like rock that is smooth and shiny."<br/><br/>Lotharn looked at the two women. He didn't own anything like that and he wondered if they did. He shook his head. Again something similar to the War of the Ring. An item lost for a long time returns and sets in motion a final conflict. This was something that did not make him feel all warm and fuzzy.<br/><br/>"Tomorow I will take the three of you to Greendale the closest Elven community. You will talk to the elders there and tell them your story. Should one of you have this stone you need to reveal it there. If it has been brought from the west they will know what must be done."
