"We shouldn't sell the orichalcum coins, no, never," Temorya adds, knowing
about the strain and effort it takes to produce just one of these valuable
coins. "And don't forget, don't we have the coins as the crystal entitiy died?
We should keep them also and devide them among us. What about each of you
take an orichalcum coin and Pean and me the earth coins? And then just devide
the silver and gold among us?"

Temorya talks with Pean, trying to piece together as much information as
possible. Also he wants to learn about horrors, how to deal with them, as he has
not much knowledge about them.

Temorya helps, as he has shared the same body, still trying to find out what
really happened, what was the magic behind it, and how was the horror
invlved, or not involved, or, is there another one around....
Over the resting days, he examines the main chamber again, trying to find
any hint of lingering magic, and also he flies through the kaer, looking into
old rooms, the main room/house, if he can find any more information on the
kaer and what might happened here.

Temorya wishes her farewell, and a safe journey as she departs.

Temorya bids his farewell, and asks him to bring greetings from them to Bush
Namur, and especially to the windling community and his friends.
