"Exactly I cut theo But they’ve still been responsible for reatest atrocities in human and supernatural history One or the other has a body part that’s found, and it starts whispering, and next thing you know soone batshit and started a war"

"Does that explain Hitler?" I asked, wondering at the historical implications of Blondie’s words

"No, unfortunately That was pure human crazy"

"So whohistorical maniacs to see if they were evil supernaturally or au naturel

"The contact I was sent to by the creature was a museu you mean the body parts of purported saints, and not supernatural relics?" Anyan asked

"Yes, human saints," Blondie replied "He told me how he’d been interested in them for years, but it wasn’t until he found a certain relic--a hand that was supposed to be some woman martyred in the fourth century--that relics becauess," Anyan said "He suddenly discovered he had a burning desire to collect everything he could find of that particular saint"

"Bingo," said the Original "Even though it wasn’t a particularly iether, he just suddenly really wanted to do so"

"It’s funny how such whims ripen, when the Red and the White are involved," Hiral squeaked I noticed with irritation that he’d eaten the entire plate of cookies

"So where are all the relics he found?" Gog asked A question to which I wasn’t sure I wanted to know the answer

"One day a few months back, a beautiful blonde woman arrived at his door He described her as a shorter version of ‘that pretty elf queen froroaned That was alan: she of the beauty and the evil

Blondie’s eyes flicked to er, before she continued: "She expressed a desire to own his relics, and suddenly he realized he no longer wanted theing his home to pay for some--he suddenly couldn’t care less about therowl backing his words

"Yes For quite a nice suer in the hole," said Blondie

"So we assuuys have at least most of one of the sets of relics?" I said

"At least," replied Blondie "But I’m afraid he had the coive it up? I don’t think the relics would let go of a hu them to start with Not unless they had reason to"

"Why are Morrigan and Jarl doing this?" Anyan asked "They already have power, and could get more if they wanted it They can’t think they’ll be able to control the Red and the White if they’re awakened"

Blondie shrugged "Who knohat they think Remember, the Red and the White are masters of seduction We don’t even kno they do it--do they pros, or just plant a seed in the an, especially She was just a typical Alfar monarch, until the day she killed Orin

"The fact is that throughout history people have been willing to fight and die for the Red and the White, including people who should have known better My guess would be they don’t plan on actually resurrecting the Red and the White Maybe they think they can just use the relics to amplify their power But we can assuan and Jarl think they’re planning, the Red and the White are planning soet it"

"So where does this leave us?" I asked

"Well, we knohat they’re looking for We knoe’re behind That said, I think I have a place to start--a source at the British Museum But that can wait until tomorrow," said Blondie
