Back in Yew, Lora led her friends to her house. She had decided to trust them, because she may have need of two tough companions. They proved quite friendly on the ship, and she felt they were trustworthy. She opened the door of her humble home and led her friends inside, then she closed the door firmly. She invited them to sit on her old bed, that had not seen her use for ages.
Before the excited eyes of Sentri and Seggallion, she opened her wardrobe, empty save for a chest. She took a key from underneath the lamp on her bedside table and opened the lock on the chest with it. The contents of the chest emitted a soft blue light as she slowly opened it, and Sentri's eyes lit with excitement. She pulled out some armour and gave it to Sentri. "There thou art." Sentri couldn't wait to feel the Mystic magic upon his body and immediately wore the armour. The armour that had served him a long time ago brought back memories of the battles he had fought alongside the Avatar, of the Shadowlords that took his life twice before, and of that night before they disappeared into Dungeon Shame.
Lora presented Seggallion with another set of armour, and although he was not
as excited as Sentri, he was pleased to wear magical armour of such power. She then
gave him a Mystic Sword, and he could feel how light and deadly it was, like no other
weapon he had ever seen before. When Lora gave Sentri his Mystic Sword, he was not
overcome by awe as Seggallion was, because he knew its power. Just like the armour,
it brought back memories. Sentri could recall how many victims he made with that
same sword which he now had in his hand after so long. "Those pirates have no chance
against us with the Mystics!" he gleefully concluded.
"How many times do I have to tell thee?" a frustrated Lora scolded him, "They are not
pirates!"
Lora remembered her debt towards Trebor in Minoc, and thought that it could help to pay him a visit, even if just to tell him that she will be giving him back his ship later on. Being a shipwright, he would know of any ships that passed by Minoc, so she thought that they might find Michael again if, by any chance, his ship passed from there. After all three armed themselves with Mystic Swords and Armour, they set sail for Minoc in the hopes of tracking Michael down.
