| 224 Squatting before the magic weapons you consider how they are to be used to defeat Windhammer. Lying on the stone floor they do not look particularly powerful. It is only as the red glow of a particularly bright flame flickers across the smooth metal surfaces of the axe that you see a radiance that gives any hint of magic. On an impulse you pick up the Dragonseye. Something deep within you beckons that you look closer. Immediately the gem begins to shine, a beam of bright light casts out across the passage and calls forth many blurred visions onto the wall opposite. Although the images are moving with great speed the story they tell is clear. Warriors and Dragons duel in lethal combat. Great beasts fall, stricken with mortal wounds and warriors die, rent by the power of monstrous talons or consumed by dragonfire. But the story is clear. Placed against your forehead the Dragonseye will cast a brilliant light that will blind the serpent momentarily. Striking at the Dragons back with the Dragonsclaw will cripple it. Thrusting Morgen's Spear deep into its mouth will kill it. It is also clear you will only have one chance to do the job right. Your warrior's blood grows hot as you see how well your unasked question has been answered. Standing you place the gem in your tunic pocket and bend to pick up your weapons. To your surprise the axe rises into your hand. As your fingers close around its haft a raw power surges up your arm and through your body. All fatigue disappears; the bruises and damage of previous battles wash away. Next rises the spear. As it moves into your other hand it extends to its full length and begins to radiate light. Now you are ready.
