I had decided to turn home, despair in my heart, eating away at my resolve, but something drew me further. I had never felt this way before, something seemed to be nudging me to climb this hill...
An hour later, the sun high in the sky, I looked down into the valley beyond and something sparkled down at the bottom. Could it be...?
I began to run down the hill as fast as I could, harnessing the wind around me to create a void that pulled me forwards. I reached the bottom and discovered a spring pouring from the wall like a fountain, into a pool of water. This must have been what reflected the light... Under the clear water was an engraving, but I couldn't read it because of the frothing water. I didn't need to anyway. I knew exactly what I had found.
I clambered into the bowl of water and drank from it. The air sizzled with energy. Purple sparks began to jump from my pores all over my body and my hairs stood on end. A low rumble... A vibration... The fountain opened before me and revealed a empty stone square in the side of the valley's walls. Just 2 meters away, a crystal was perched on the wall in a silver and gold socket.

So the legend is true. It feeds on despair and in the three years I had been searching, I had never given up until now... So it revealed itself to me knowing I would feed it willingly. I had completed the first step of the ritual and sacrificed a part of my soul to its darkness to finally obtain what I now held in my trembling hands.
It was the Undran shard.

I had the first key to unlocking the mystery of my brother's death.
Now to find the tomb.
