Sol looked pleadingly at the oracle.
- You said my sister could be cured of the poison?
- Yes, child. But listen carefully. The blood from the rik'oti can only sustain your sister's life for four weeks. After that, it can no longer hinder the progress of the poison in her veins.
- Four weeks!
- Before the four weeks have passed, you must place teine cridhe on her chest. Its magic is the only thing strong enough to save your sister.
- Teine cridhe? What is it?
- The heart of fire is a powerful talisman. Hundreds of years ago, the heart was divided into two parts. Its magic was considered too strong to be handled by humans. The parts were hidden in different places and over time they were forgotten.
- Where can I find them?
- Your sister has already found one half of the talisman.
