The Dagger Of Laogafna

The Dagger Of Laogafna

No one knows when it was made, but what we do know is that it was made a very long time ago.This story starts back in 67BC. A man found a dagger lying in a river. The blade was silver andvery shiny. The handle looked like gold, and was encrusted with small jewels and gems. Thedagger was, 30cm long. The man, a pauper, picked it up. Its worth was immediatly noticable. Themans name was Laogafna, thus the name of the dagger. For a reason that we will never know,the man did not sell it. Instead he began to use it. He found that it could cut through,absolutly anything. It sliced through wood, rocks, bronze and even iron, as if they werebutter. No matter what he used it for, it never lost its incredible sharpness or its shine forthat matter. The man only kept the dagger for six months, because he died mysteriously. He wassearching the river like he always did, when his heart abruptly stopped beating. He died aquick death. His son kept the dagger for six months, then died in the same way. We do not knowwhat happened to the dagger between 66BC and 44BC, but in 44BC it found a new owner. That ofJulius Caesar. Those of you that learned about the roman empire in school, will know thatJulius Caesar died in 44BC. Is it any coincedence that he found the dagger exactly six months,before he died.

The dagger claimed lots of victoms. Some how though, it still remained fairly unknown. The deathswere always six months after the owner touched the dagger, so no connection was ever made betweenthe death and the dagger. Then, in 1821, it claimed the life of a much more famous person.

Napoleon, as it was discovered, found the dagger exactly six months before he died.
Since 1880, its existence becomes blurred. Alleged sightings began to arise, but none were everconcrete. Even today, on the odd occasion, an alleged sighting will rise out of the works. Sowhat do we actualy know about the dagger. Well, for one, the handle i not, as it was origonallythought, constructed of gold. Nor was the blade made of silver. It is still unknown how it wasactually made. Fact is, we'll probably never find out. I wouldn't want to run any tests on it.By the way, it is said that the dagger carries an enscription on its blade. 'Letum volo evenio mox'.After hours of studying, we found that the enscription was an old form of latin. Roughlytranslated it means 'Death will come soon'.
