My lord!, the Captain said and knelt. What news do you have?, He asked. Queen Arna and two of her guards have arrive at Ontar's cottage, what is behind this visit is not known. Though it could be about the Eye and the Dargors. Since both were in her realm., the Captain replied. I doubt that Ontar knows much about either. No word on who summoned them?, he asked No, my lord. Your wizards are still scrying, but have little knowledge. The Eye was summoned in King Urdan's realm at some slave dealers residence, who has disappeared along with the Eye. They have no knowledge of why or who summoned the Dargors, though several have been seen., he replied. Interesting., he said. What of the Earthers? Since the Dargors, they have been staying close to their base and traveling in heavily armed groups to their fields and villages close to them., he said and stood up after the Sorcerer motioned him to. And how is our prisoner doing? Seaton is strange one my lord. He mostly sits and stares into space, though he does respond to questions. When asked about the staff and sword he said he last saw both at Grimwier, Ontar has the staff, but he didn't say who has the sword. It is said to be in his possession which he does not deny, but he will not say where it is., the Captain replied. I am not worried about the sword, the staff though is another thing. If Ontar still has it then I will not worry about it for the moment, it is safe in his keeping. Have we made it into the Seaton's tower yet?, the Dark Sorcerer asked. No, my lord. We have lost two more thieves to traps there., the Captain replied. Could Ontar or Seaton have set the traps to keep the tower safe? No, that I am sure of, it is not their style. Something else is a foot on the Emerald Isle. Send some mages and thieves, but to scout only, do not try to enter the tower. Keep a close watch on the Earthers, especially the colonel, it could prove useful to have allies there. Now go., he said. Yes my lord!, he replied and hurried off. Thanks for stopping by, a big thanks to those who leave a comment and/or fave my work. Not much going on here, trying to stay warm. Finally got rid of my cold or flu and feeling pretty good again. Be glad when spring gets here though. Hope everyone is doing fine out there, been enjoying everyone's work that's been posted, a lot of awesome scenes, images and captures. Take care, stay safe, and have fun! Rick
