Simon turned the next dust covered page, carefully blowing on it first to get rid of the excess amount of dust. Once some of the dust had been removed, his blue eyes focused on the page that he was reading. His eyes widened as he read the text.
"
After the nights grew long and the famine months upon
Woe unto those who had wronged her darkened soul
Morgan la Fay flew to the Star Temple on the hills of Avalon
on wings of jet black and contempt
To stone she carved - with talon fingernails -
the symbol of Winter’s wrath
Black magic she cast to curse the land
and bring forth winter eternal" he whispered softly to himself.
HUH?!?!?
The young wizarding detective in training was stumped. What did
THAT mean?
Wasn't Morgan La Fay from around Merlin's time? And Avalon...The Star Temple. Sure, he understood some of the references from reading and watching some of those muggle things dedicated to the Arthurian Legends but still what did THAT mean? Simon had no clue. He read the excerpt and his eyes widened to the size of saucers when he read about a five month winter.
Five months? How long had their winter been? It had been a long one but he wasn't sure if it had been less or more than five months. It certainly felt more than five months.
His eyes wandered down the page and then he saw the image. Squinting, he tried to see what was possibly written on it. There were a couple weird marks on the right hand side of the page. Were those runes? If they were, then the second one that he could see sort of looked like the letter 'H'- was that
Hagalaz? Then the third one could be a flipped
Laguz? He couldn't make out those symbols so perhaps he was getting way too ahead of himself. But what about the carvings on the temple wall? They were hard to make out as some of them had faded or had a large crack running through it. He squinted his eyes and then nudged Holmes. "
Ethan. Look. here," he whispered pointing to the page that he had just read.
Before saying anything else, Simon figured that he should show THIS to the Professors. He raised his hand up simply and then began waving his hand rather quickly. "
Professors? I found this description here in the codex. It's about a five month winter, Morgan La Fay, and the Star Temple of Avalon. I think you should both take a look at this," he said.
