Da' the most wonderful thing has happened! Mam is back! It's truly her! I knew with all me heart she was still in there. With the help of m' friends we were able to destroy Morgana, and m' new friend Ana saved Mam! You haven't met Ana, yet. She joined us when we went to talk with the Tree in the center of the Earth. Her real name is Anakhet, she is real pretty, just like Mam. When we were talking with the Tree, I thought about how I could save Mam from Morgana's curse. That is when the Tree brought us Ana. M' friends didn't know if they could trust her, but I knew the Tree wouldn't hurt us. And the Tree was right! Ana is pretty awesome. She sleeps in this really old black bed that has all of these cool carvings on it, like eagles and hawks and suns and funny dog creatures. The dog creatures remind me of your friends from Los Alamos that you introduced me to, you know the ones that knew Tut. Speaking of Tut, I finally brought him along. I probably should have been taking him with me the whole time. I need to get better at riding him. Mr. Turag is making a collar for him. It will help keep us safe. Speaking about being safe! I am glad you didn't see us when the K-Dawg II suddenly fell out of the sky!! Mr. Turag said that the anti-gravity engines went out without warning. I wonder if it had something to do with Ms. Rebecca's boyfriend or something. She hasn't talked to him in a while. I hope he isn't mad at her. Anyway, there we were falling out of the sky. Mr. Turag tried to slow our fall using a shield barrier around us, but the K-Dawg was too big for that to work. Ms. Rebecca wanted to conjure a parachute. But Turag did the calculation in his head and told us it was futile (F-U-T-I-L-E, "hopeless or pointless"). I am suprised we didn't hit the ground before he finished explaining his calculation! I knew I had to do something. Da', I never knew I had that much power. I reached out with my mind. They said my eyes started to glow a bright pink color. It felt like I left my body, and could see the K-Dawg falling. With bright pink hands of light I grabbed us, and caught us. It was just like that time when I dropped that plate, you know the one Mam's got from her seanmhair (grandmother), and I caught it with my mind. Only this time it was a lot bigger. I set us down several meters from the evil Morgana. M' friends, thankful to be alive, got out and tried to tango with the witch. She was very powerful. It seemed like she just could shrug off our biggest hits. That is until Mr. Keegan, who is no longer a dwarf, but a Red Cap, said, "Not today!" Morgana got this pale sickly look in her face. I got Tut and myself back in the K-Dawg. Ms. ThorFrid was about to shoot Morgana one last time before we were about to retreat. At that moment, I realized that Morgana had one spot in her armor that exposed into her chest under arm every time she lifted her left arm. I quickly told ThorFrid this is secret. She waited for that right moment then... ...I really don't remember what followed the gun firing. I remember a lot of pain, but then it went away. I saw a bright light, and seemed to be surrounded by a blanket of pure love. That is as best as I could describe it. At that moment of intense light, I saw Mam's face. She spoke to me. "Benna, my girl! You are here. I have waited so long to see you again. Please know I am so sorry you had to pass through all of that. I did not mean to hurt your brother and your sisters like that. But they are here with us now. Come meet..." She never finished what she was going to say. Neither did I get to see the brother and sisters she was talking about. For one moment I saw Mam, then a mask was put over her face and she changed into Ana's face. "Rise, my child! Brush off the waters of the rivers of Duat and return whole. Anakhet commands it!" I gasped. I lay on the cold steel floor of the K-Dawg. I could faintly hear alarms sounding, and the low humming crackling wires. I could smell a faint smell of smoke and something chemical. My face was warm and wet. As I sat up, I realized that I was covered in blood. It was on my face. It was in my ears, running down my nose. But I felt no pain. A ringing in my ear eventually faded. The K-Dawg looked awful. Something had exploded in the crew compartments. Ana had healed everyone. As I stood up at the turret, I could see her outside in a trace surrounded by her priests. Ana then turned towards the body of Mam, Morgana had left her. Ana healed her, too! Da' it was amazing! I was finally going to meet her! It was at that moment that one of the K-Dawg' s guns fired. It narrowly missed Ana and Mam! I think when Mr. Turag woke up, he accidentally fired the forward cannons. I am glad no one got hurt from his accident. Ana brought Mam safely into the K-Dawg and told everyone that she posed no threat anymore. Mam even bowed in front of us to show us she had changed. Mr. Keegan started acting funny too once he was healed. He started running toward the army that was about 2 km from us. He was mumbling something about getting his body back. I am not sure if ThorFrid was crazier than normal after being healed by Ana, but he started firing at that army. Mr. Keegan turned invisible. I could sense that he hadn't left yet, though. "You need to stay inside here where it's safe, Mr. Keegan. It's too dangerous out there." I said to him, quite concerned for m' friend. I knew he just wasn't right. I extended my arms out to give him a hug. "Everything will be okay, Mr. Keegan. Anakhet got m' mam back, I bet we can do the same for your body." "It....is....the....sword....It....is....evil....He....has....been....cursed....by....Mer...lin....If....we....find..." "Right! If we find Merlin, we can remove the curse." I interrupted Turag. "See Mr. Keegan! Everything will be all right. Stay with us." "Okay. But we need a safer place to put this sword...I can't resist its whispers." Keegan said. "I have an idea. Turag talked about the powers of the puzzle box. Buddy, do you think you could make it hold the sword?" "I....think....it...." "Yeah, yeah. I knew you could do it, friend. Just make it quick. My mind can only bind the power of the sword for so long. More majy-magic, less Turag explanations...sorry that might be the sword making me a bit ornery...ornerier than normal." At that point, Mr. Keegan did something very strange. He took some blood soaking the ground up in his palm and slathered it all over his head and face. "Ah, much better." "So, to England?" I asked me friends. "Where....we....should...have....gone....before....if....you...." "Shotgun!" Cried ThorFrid, cutting Turag off again. "I hope you guys know a good place for fish and chips, I have a hankering for filleted halibut and kæstur hákarl!"
