The voice of HermesMessenger and herald of the Olympians. Being required to do
a great deal of travelling and speaking in public, he became
the god of eloquence, travellers, merchants, and thieves. He
was one of the most energetic of the Greek gods, a
Machiavellian character full of trickery and sexual vigour.
Like other Greek gods, he is endowed with not-inconsiderable
sexual prowess which he directs towards countryside nymphs.
He is a god of boundaries, guardian of graves and patron deity
of shepherds. He is usually depicted as a handsome young
man wearing winged golden sandals and holding a magical
herald's staff consisting of intertwined serpents, the
kerykeion. He is reputedly the only being able to find his way
to the underworld ferry of Charon and back again. He is said
to have invented, among other things, the lyre, Pan's Pipes,
numbers, the alphabet, weights and measures, and sacrificing.

IKEA is a HUGE store, second only to Wal-Mart (spit spit). They would most likely have the Key.

pantheons of nine or more (see Religion). Most of them claim
to have made the world, and this is indeed a likely claim in
the case of threesomes or pantheons: Fantasyland does have
the air of having been made by a committee. But all Goddesses
and Gods, whether they say they made the world or not, have
very detailed short-term plans for it which they are determined
to carry out. Consequently they tend to push people into the
required actions by the use of coincidence or Prophecy, or just
by narrowing down your available choices of what to do next:
if a deity is pushing you, things will go miserably badly until
there is only one choice left to you.

You're over thinking it. The last item in the instructions is the key, it's a put the sword together yourself kit.

And they don't have a piece so it's missing.

The key is, of course, a deciphering sheet accompanied by complicated machines of doom.

Kinda like on a map.

I bet there's a scrollAnd I was gazing on the surges prone,
With many a scalding tear and many a groan,
When at my feet emerg'd an old man's hand,
Grasping this scroll, and this same slender wand.
I knelt with pain--reached out my hand--had grasp'd
Those treasures--touch'd the knuckles--they unclasp'd--
I caught a finger: but the downward weight
O'erpowered me--it sank. Then 'gan abate
The storm, and through chill aguish gloom outburst
The comfortable sun. I was athirst
To search the book, and in the warming air
Parted its dripping leaves with eager care.
Strange matters did it treat of, and drew on
My soul page after page, till well-nigh won
Into forgetfulness; when, stupefied,
I read these words, and read again, and tried
My eyes against the heavens, and read again.
