It wasn't long before I was home, rushing into my study I poured myself a very large JD, then throwing some ice into it I took a mouthful, then pondered my thoughts for a couple of seconds, I was about to do something of ages past and I had not done for many, many years, finishing my drink and with a flick of my hand the door to my study locked.<br/><br/>Walking to an old bookcase, I placed my hand behind the it and found a small switch, the bookcase creaked as it moved to reveal a doorway, entering the darkness of a corridor, I moved my hand and torches lit as along the full length of the dark passageway.<br/><br/>I walked into a hidden room at the end of the passage, it was circular, the walls were covered in ancient text, in the center an alter, old blood stained it from the many uses it had, I looked around at the walls, I had not been in there for many years, then shouted,<br/><br/>"Aulak, I want to talk to you,"<br/><br/>All I heard was a woman's laugh, then,<br/><br/>"Bring that I desire and I will talk with you,"<br/><br/>I knew then that I had a real problem, do I show Isolde what I am? Who I am? What I can do? Or do I let her die, because she will die eventually if I don't.
