"We have to get to the peak now!"
"Why?" Sanchez was curious. The sudden shift in Reeva's attitude came as a surprise. From what he saw so far, the kid had been rather calm in most situations, only excited about something of a higher circle mystic.
"We can't let Athan get his hand on the scepter!"
"Scepter?"
Reeva paused for a while; he was going to reveal that he knew this from the book, but it would be difficult to explain now. Athan, the immortal, went to Carmel Peak and obtained the scepter of the dead. An extremely strong mystic relic that allows you to rise from the dead.
In the book, he led a faction of heretics in the heretic uprising and caused chaos in the world. If Athan had that thing, he would be unstoppable—at least in the book version.
