The two of them continued their wandering through the ziggurats looking for something that was much closer to the Runes of the Dwarfs. Yet the trouble for them was that the Old Ones did not give their secrets up that quickly.
Engraving after engraving Lucian glanced at. None of them seemed even relatively close to what they were looking for. Sure there was some geomantic stuff happening within each of the symbols that the Knight could see, but from his recently improved eyes, he did not see anything that was close to the Dwarven written word. Too many curves and or entire charactertures happening that were telling them of an event of the past.
They were not what was to be looked for.
It took a day and a night of searching like this for the two of them to really sit down once again. With every step he took Adok looked a little bit more lively, his eyes much more certain from what was a near senseless state.
“Nothing…” Complained the Dwarf as he began scratching into the rock, “Nothing.”
“Nothing doesn’t mean it's not there.” Lucian pointed out as he ate a piece of meat Bok had captured the previous night, “We simply need to keep looking.”
“I don’t plan to stop.” Declared the Dwarf, “But you will. Once the Skink learns what you are looking for you’ll probably be heading off to Bretonnia.”
“I swore an oath to you.” Lucian pointed out.
“Aye, but a Dwarf’s oaths are to his Karak first.” Adok said as he scratched at the floor even more, “Bretonnia needs ya, I’m where I need to be.”
“And what if I need you to help save Bretonnia?” Lucian suggested.
To those words the Dwarf only gave a sigh, “I don’t know if you’d want a Dwarf who couldn’t handle one Vampire.”
“I might, depending on what he soon learns.” Lucian suggested with a smirk.
The Dwarf looked at him with a glance, then returned it, “Don’t be counting your gold before it leaves the mines.”
