Jack walked into his old room. Well, to say it was his old room wasn't entirely correct. It was only a short time ago that he had lived in the alehouse before moving out. He looked about and walked over to the corner where he found his old chest. He pulled a key from his pocket and unlocked the lid. The chest was empty at first sight but Jack reached down the side and flipped the fake wooden bottom out revealing a small space where his precious things were hidden.

"Now lets see here..." he whispered pulling supposedly random items from the box. He lifted a small knife and looked at it closely. It was an elvish gift from her; she had given it him when... No no. He shook himself clear of the thoughts of her and buckled the weapon to his belt. Jack fished a little more and found small pieces of armour that he attached accordingly. Finally he lifted out a small silver and gold bracelet. Jack brought it close to his eyes and studied the elvish engravings. It was as thin as a piece of cotton but with occasion spheres of gold. Jack continued to look at it, struggling in his mind to choose whether or not to take it with him, he had never worn it before.

"May it grant you strength in times of great need..."

Jack snapped out of the daydream and wiped a tear from his cheek. He quickly fastened the bracelet onto his right wrist and put back the items he had took out of the chest that he decided not to take. Before leaving the room he locked it up again.

"Wonder what he is getting?" Jadae said as he walked up behind her.

"I have got all I need now," he said placing a hand on her shoulder making her jump, "and am ready for the off."
