A painful aftermath.

(Subtitled: What was that again? What is stronger, word or sword?)

(by Tashala Tokani)

	
*** A few weeks before the happenings described here Tashala 
*** was lured into a trap by Xylia. The result of this ambush 
*** was that Tashala died to the swordhit of a demon that was 
*** controlled by an evil necromancer. The tip of the sword 
*** broke and although Rokoon granted Tashala a new body a 
*** shard of the blade remained still embedded in the wound, 
*** close to her heart. She felt miserable throughout all the 
*** time and one day when she woke she felt extremely sick and 
*** the following events happend:
