It\u2019s a fact.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Two days later, she was on her way.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n She zapped as close as she could get that day.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The rest of the way, she went on foot. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n She took a lot of time to listen and look.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It was a rugged climb up the mountain.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n After clearing the mist, she saw a fountain.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n She approached it with caution.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n She saw her reflection. All fogged then.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A voice said: \u201cI am the oracle of ancient knowledge.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI know why you have come.\u201d It acknowledged.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou have come here only for good.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou will be helped.

Maybe in a trance? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No, because beside her was the lance.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n She picked it up and it changed into a wand.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n By thought, she could change it through her bond.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The lance and her were one.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To be passed on upon her death to a deserving one.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n From there, she zapped back to the keep.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n She told the other Wizards about her feat.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No, she had not seen a \u2018Watcher.\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n But, she felt they were still watching her.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n She told them what a deceiver could do.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n They were shocked.
