I'm afraid of heights, you know... " she blurted out, the thought making her nervous.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"Oh no," Io said, "at least I don't think so. But I expect we'll run into a bridge troll. The bat works pretty well against those too." He sliced through the air a couple of times with the bat, and Lily thought she saw it leave a blue, sparkling trail that hang in the air for a second before dissapearing. The runes and symbols carved into the wood glowed mysteriously in the same blue color.<br/>"The leather in the handle are from a basilisk. I used to have a sword, you know, but I seem to have misplaced it. This will do for now." He put on a Doors t-shirt, and his leather jacket, and laced up his boots. Lily found herself wondering how his hoofs even stayed in place in the boots, they were clearly made for humans.<br/>He squeezed her shoulder. "Don't worry, no high places for you then. And I think you are dressed just fine. Ready to go?"
