As Armus offered the stilleto to the drow maiden, she made a pass with her right hand, and more of the glowing runes appear in the air. Armus felt a gentle pressure on the stilleto, and realizing what must be happening, he opened his hand. With no great speed, the stilleto floated from him to the hand of the young drow.
