Part two 1: CB



The light of the candle was enough for Fiontann to read Aeirillen's report as he sat on the chair, holding the piece of parchment in his right hand, underneath of which was laying a silver coin. He read it all carefully and then put the parchment down and took the coin in his left hand and looked at it from all sides, it seemed like an ordinary coin, though it was somewhat wider, not much to notice from a first glance, yet enough to differ and weighted as two silvers do together. In the middle there were two words engraved "CB", it was apparent that the engraving was done with a knife by the one who owned it probably and not by someone professional.

His gaze fell on the parchment and read again, the point where the Elf wrote that he didn't try to fight back but killed himself. He read it two or three times before putting it away in a drawer and brought the coin closer to the candle to look at it, trying to see if there was something written but he could see nothing, no matter how much he turned it in his hand and played with the angles of the light.

Something was telling him that it was dangerous but he knew that he couldn't throw it away, he put it in the left inner pocket of his jacket, intending to find something to have it at him in a visible spot on all times. If the coin brought danger it should be him and no one else in the Order.
