Day 115

Breathing heavily, Kai trembled as he turned his attention towards the artifact in his hand. Sensing his companion's shift in focus, Caleb looked up at Kai, their gazes meeting momentarily before returning to the artifact.

Still looking at the artifact, Caleb whispered, "What on earth just happened?"

Kai slowly shook his head as he whispered in reply, "No idea."

Caleb pulled away from the the artifact and looked at Kai's face as he asked, "Was this in the legends?"

"No. Most definitely not." Kai replied.

"Well, the monster is dead." Caleb said as he pointed with his ax to the carcass at their feet.

Kai snorted, shed a tear and nodded while saying, "Yes, yes it is. You know it was crazy to try and kill the monster right?"

It was Caleb's turn to laugh and cry, "Oh yeah, I totally underestimated what we would be up against; thank the gods for your magic artifact!"
