Jalia at Bay

Jalia and Daniel awake in the forest to find they have been robbed. While all their goods were precious to them, they most keenly feel the loss of the magic ring and dagger. Determined to retrieve them they set out on a quest that will take them away from Bagdor and east along the River Jalon.

Book 4 of Jalia - The World of Jalon

When Princess Clea of the Fairie imbued Daniel’s dagger with the magic to follow commands that began ‘Magic sword…’ she was unaware that the dagger was an ancient construct of the Magician Kings. As a result, its original purpose to hide the heir to the Magician Kings and suppress his magical power was weakened.

When Daniel gave the Fairie the magic jewel known as the Black Pyramid they honored the request made by the prophet Jer a’Dall and implanted healing magic within him. Magic loves a template and Daniels inherent magical power, already having healed his brother, became focused on healing.

Daniel used healing magic on a number of occasions over the next couple of years, which he remained oblivious to, though Jalia took note.

After killing the Mine Owners at Telmar, Jalia decided they should return to Bagdor, having become sickened by their roles as assassin. Continual use of the magic ring and dagger however, had made them careless.
