They returned to the surface and as they left the tomb's entrance the large rock rose back into place. Timberlane held on to the book as if it was a precious piece of art or something that might break. He sat down on the ground and gently opened the book's cover and looked at the first page. His eyes went over the writing there even though he could not understand it, it looked as if it was important and he knew the wizards council would be wanting to study it But that would have to wait till they could get word to them and have another Wizard come to take possession of the book. Lotharn helped Pegawen with the cooking and Thorgan watched Pegawen look at her sword again. He could see she liked it and was intrested in how it was made. "It seems it was made for you." he said standing behind her. "It fits your hand well and if I am not mistaken it is well balanced and the right weight for your sword arm."<br/><br/>Merry and Pippen were having fun and then they decided to practice with their new swords. The crossed blades and suddenly it seemed as if the two who never had wield a sword knew exactly what to do. The ring of steel filled the air as the two moved back and forth. Watching them one would swear that they had been trained with the swords. Thorgan was amazed and bewildered as he saw them. "Are you sure they have never been trained in the use of swords." he asked Allassiel. But it was Timberlane that studied them the most and smiled. He mumbled something and then chuckled, as if he saw something that no one else could.<br/><br/>"It is easy to explain." he said. "The two swords are indowed with magic. Magic that allows the wielder to use them as if they had training with them. A very beautiful and useful magic. Evidently the Old Ones as we call them, knew more magic then the even the elves. How we could learn from them if they were still alive. Perhaps this book will tell us more once we learn how to read it."<br/><br/>The two Hobbits finally stopped, both panting and sat down on the ground. "Now that was awesome." Pippen said and Merry agreed.
