Ladles for Water of Life and Water of Death

These are two ladles or dippers, one pure gold and one pure silver. They were discovered in the Cave of the Sleeping Bogatyrs, hanging from a hook in the ceiling in a chamber where a female dire wolf and her brood were cowering. They were taken off the hook from which they were suspended by Lokan, being lifted by Yuri, who was standing on the back of his horse.    
A residual magic was detected on the ladles from the start, but their true purpose remained unknown until after the Serpent Slayers defeat the viy at the end of the complex. It turned out that if the golden ladle was filled with the Water of Life, and the silver one - with the water of death, they could either restore a dead person to life (the golden one), or make a body whole, or changed back to flesh, prior to being restored to life (the silver one). Filling a ladle with the wrong kind of water would cause an incendiary reaction with the ladle. After restoring several dead comrades and petrified bogatyrs, the Serpent Slayers found that the ladles ceased to function, and would need to be somehow reenchanted. They remained very valuable in their own right, and upon their return to Ladeisk, Agapia donated them to Mother Feodosia at the Convent of the Holy Dormition.   
As far as is known, that is where they remain.
