Alex road from the White Tower with a purpose he had to find the missing Anicent Scroll. He arrived in Luna that night. Searching the City he found nothing within the City that would lead him to the Scroll so he began to search the Outer wall of the City for any secrets..The hour was growing late and the search had turned up nothing. Alex turned around to walk back to the City when he took one step and began to fall...he fell for what seemed like ages but finally he hit the ground..once getting up and shaking off the dizziness he looked around and saw he was in a cave lighted by torches..He could see all around him tombs upon tombs..and carved images of Knights standing guard..Alex walked toward one of the and looked upon the name written on the top of the tome..It was written in old Brittiannian but Alex was able to read it..the name on the tomb was Uther Brightblade.. "By the Virtues! I have found the lost family tomb Alex said aloud."


Alex then walked from Tomb to Tomb each name confirming his belief that he found the lost tomb of his family for each name read Brightblade from his great grandfather Uther Brightblade to all his father's brothers and even there wives. He could hardly believe that this place would be buried deep under the outside near near the outer wall of the City of Luna..After Alex looked upon each tomb and studied the statues of Knights long past he then began to walk foward the walk did not last long cause before him the tomb entered into a small room where a thorne stood in the middle of the room and on the thorne was a skeleton holding a sceptor and a scroll in his other hand and even a crown upon his head.


Alex walked towards the throne and nearly gasped when he looked upon the skeleton because he recongized the crown and sceptor the Skeleton held. Alex then knelt before the throne as a single tear was shed from his eyes. The skeleton before him was his long lost father.
His father had disappeared years ago to search for his family wearing the crown of his Alex's grandfather and holding the sceptor that was known by all Brightblades to be a gift that was given to there family for there service to Lord British. Alex once gathering the strength looked up and walked towards the skeleton. He then gently took the scroll out of his dead fathers hand and unrolled it..Alex looked at the skeleton and began to read what he found on this scroll was amazing because it mentioned an anicent relic of the family once cherished by the Order of the White Rose a relic that had the power to read mens hearts and give them there desires but if the relic was in the hands of someone evil this power could be used to corrupt the world as it did most of the Order then. The relic was taken by the remaining loyal members of the White Rose when the Order's corruption turned it into the Order of the Black Rose. The took it to hide it so those who wished to use it to overthrow Lord British could not. The scroll then went on to tell of how the relic was stolen by a thief one night and forgot of for some time..years later the were abouts of the relic were reported to the Order. They had set out to Yew Fel but never found the Relic because they were attacked by Orc's many Brightblades that day lost there lives..

"Hmm..So the relic is in Yew under the Dark Moons protection Alex said to himself as he looked up from the scroll briefly." Alex then looked down and began to read some more of the scroll and found another interesting part about the Sceptor the gift was given to the Order by Lord British himself in return the Order swore always to be loyal to Lord British or any goverment he put in place in his stead. The oath given was one called a life oath it would be held by the Order as long as a Brightblade stood in the seat of Lord Preceptor of the Order..this startled Alex to the bone for he had never known of this oath or where the Sceptor came from till now..Alex then looked up at his father's skeleton and bowed his head and knelt before the throne again.." He then got up and looked around for a way out seeing none in site he then walked towards the skeleton and took hold of the Sceptor. Taking the Sceptor he looked at it closely. To his disbelief the Sceptor began to glow and words began to appear on the Sceptor. "Est Sularas oth Mithas were the words Alex read and spoke out loud." Alex looked up and saw the cave and in the next second saw the open blue sky and the outer wall of the city of Luna..He then shook his head in wonder at the power of the Sceptor. He then looked at the City and smiled a bit. Alex then walked towards the City. He now had his answers thanks to the scroll and his lost father now he only needed to decide how to act on them..
