 Arrasha took off into the air, shouting out,

"Hold on tight. I lost someone because they didn't believe in holding on."

He ran along the fields of fog and blood, his wings pumping for the fog to clear, until then he lifted his legs off the ground, and they were in the air.

"Well then Cat it is. I don't really have a nickname for myself but some used to call me Arra in the far past."

He thought of his nickname "Cat" which reminded him so much of Elessar when he was a cat. He continued flying an inch below the clouds which was incredibly turbulent but his powerful demonic wings steered him out of the mess.

A good twenty minutes had passed before Arrasha saw first site of the forgotten island.

"That's the swamps of Relsern. Relsern was a great wizard, the only wizard of the old Aelourian time which had created the book and buried it next to his dying place. They say this place is haunted, but they also said that about 'The Hollow'."

He shouted above the roaring winds until he landed on the dull black sand where the waves broke. He walked along the beach until there was an opening in the dead forests. The wind picked up, giving it a haunting appearence as Arrasha advanced his way towards it. Now sheltered by the towering trees stained crimson from the many evil beasts of Relsern's creation, which destroyed the island in a big fire and killed one another. Even after a century of the fire, the smell of singed trees and putrid blood still filled the already polluted air. The trees now gave away to murky thick mud three feet thick. Arrasha trudged through the substance with slowness but steadiness. He trudged until he stopped before a branch that protruded from the ground.

With his beak he attemped to lift up the branch, but being layed in dorment for so long it was stuck, the mud had plastered around it. He did not give up so easily though, and using his pinioned tail struck down at the branch with great speed that his tail glowed white. The branch cracked and the ground before him split down towards the coast. He stood to one side as the split lifted itself up, vines, branches and skulls of dead animals which filled the uplifted crack. With his tail he chopped through the dead folige until then one could make out a coffin. Old and wooden with red cryptic symbols written on it. It was the coffin of Relsern. Arrasha used his energy to uplift it, feet sinking deep into the mud, talons feircely fighting it off until then the coffin moved out of the crack and was brought onto the soil. He brushed off the remaining branches, twigs, and vines and looked towards Cat.

"This is the coffin of Relsern as you may have guessed. Inside, the cursed body of the ancient wizard lay, sealed with a strong magic that whoever touches his body would be cursed for all eternity. The book lays beside his decapitated body. It is you Cat, that can remove the book from his side without touching his body. Use your magic.

Arrasha nudges Cat to move foward in an attempt to remove the book from Relsern. In truth Arrasha knew how to remove it, but one's evil grin would never be unlocked...
