         Norah kept following Adrian as he proposed the idea of going to the top of the tower, where supposedly comrades of Shyu were observing the fight from. ’Fenris seems to be the only one thinking rationally of these people. It seems that I made the right choice to follow him.’ The snowstorm was getting heavier as they entered the clock tower.

”No need to apologize; I have always been fascinated about magic since I was a little child.” Another lie, it had been a while since Norah had lied as much as she had this day. She looked around for any opportunity to get something she would be able to defend herself with, if the only way out, was to use her powers. A liquid was all she needed, but she wasn’t in range of any at the moment. But she had always one card up her sleeve as a last resort, but whether she would be fast enough to do it if needed was the question.

- “Norah what can you make of this surprising event? Does this have any purpose whatsoever? Or were we just at the wrong place at the wrong time?"

Norah didn’t answer right away as she normally did ’Surprising event indeed. Whether this has anything in common with the Great War thirty years back is certain, but seeing an old hero from the war is just absurd, since almost all of them sacrificed themselves for the greater purpose. Did the demon queen arise once more? No that can’t be it, she wasn’t able to bring back the dead; at least none of the history books mentioned anything about an army of the dead.’

”One thing is for sure, this has a lot in common with the Great War thirty years ago, but there is no sign that it is the same threat as that time. A hero from back then rose from her grave, and I don’t think those people atop of this tower is weaker than her. This makes it a bad move from our side to attack them but, if we can get information on who they are we might be able to counter them in a way…” Norah’s eyes met Adrians, but she wasn’t sure of how trustworthy he was yet, even though she had said that she trusted him. She decided to keep her powers a secret for now ”With your and the others special powers, that is.” Her eyes turned towards the stairs they were running on ”Another option would be to try to convince the persons atop that we want to join them, and help them achieve whatever they want to, in some way… I am in for anything.” Norah wasn’t sure of if Adrian believed that she didn’t have any powers, she had had some quiet long breaks in her sentences that, for some observing people, obviously was a sign of lying in a way.

As they reached the top of the tower Norah was about to ask the exact same question as Adrian came up with how to get to the roof. Norah had never been inside the clock tower before. She looked around for an opportunity to get to the roof of the tower. The bell hang in the roof of the tower, which meant if they could get to the bell, then maybe there would be a hatch to the top. ”The bell. If we can get to the bell we have a possibility of getting to the roof… If we are lucky.” She smiled again even though, there weren’t anything smiling for; the situation wasn’t quite nice.
