"Certain to fall?" Haidas repeated as he took in the news. "If that is truly the case, then it must be reinforced at once. If the Great Wall does fall then Ataya..." he started, and then shook his head. "We must reinforce the wall. May Atosiel protect the defenders until then."

"The Dark Seeker, Mordus, just arrived," Mistrandar continued. "He sent Loter Arthious back south to the Great Wall to help the defenders."

"Good," Haidas replied, frowning upon hearing the word 'seeker'. "Did he bring any news of the Lords, then?"

"Most likely they will arrive early enough," Mistrandar said.

((Actually, it is in one kind of way still the same day that Mordus arrived in Ataya for the first time. So it should still be quite a while before the rest arrives))

Mistrandar looked at Haidas and waited for more. When Haidas did not respond, but looked to his table again Mistrandar once more spoke.

"My Lord, should we gather the council for the arrival of Lord Thaendil?"

"Yes, we should. We need every council member who can be here within a day to be sent for," Haidas replied. "I will give the orders for the Lady Thaendil to be escorted here, too."

Mistrandar nodded. "Maybe I shall see to that. I would like to talk to her myself. Where is she?"

"In the Castle of Ataya, under a great deal of protection. Here, I will write you a note... the guards will not let you past, otherwise."

Haidas did so. If all went well, they would bring her to the tower. "There. I am not sure what kind of mood she will be in, mind you, but never mind that."

Mistrandar walked towards the door, but before he opened it he turned and looked at Haidas.

"What will you be doing, my lord?"

"Order business, and more," he said, pushing some papers aside. "Without a Thaendil around, many more people come to me with whatever problems they have, whether by letter or in person. I would expect that some of the other council members are in a similar situation."

"But my lord, if I may" Mistrandar said as he bowed. "Should you not, considering our situation, put such trivial matters aside?"

"I'm afraid I still know little of 'our situation'. I know that the wall is under heavy attack and needs to be reinforced, and that Mordain and Lathaon Thaendil are returning but beyond that, I do not know. Until I can get a more detailed report, I am as good as blind."

Mistrandar nodded and left the room as he spoke, "A blind man should not stay still and wait for the inevitable blow to come."

Haidas let him leave. Mistrandar's words carried sense, but he was still reluctant. After thinking for a moment, he stood up and strode away, through another door. He managed to find a mage of decent rank. "You there. Come with me," he said, and led the mage back to his office. "What is your name?"

"Helene Cardenas, milord," she said, curtseying.

"Can you make a spell sphere?"

"Yes, of co-"

"Good. I want you to send one to the Great Wall and get me a full report on the situation. Quickly now."

She looked offended by his interruption and abruptness, but obeyed...

((Can we move the timeline on two days, or just one now, so I can arrive? :P ))
"Stand against me if you must, for of course you will. Conflict is just another part of this flawed reality. You need to cling to your concepts and purposes, your feeble honour and glory. None of it serves any purpose in the end. And the end draws close." - Krodalis Thaendil.

"It really is amazing; she killed Kelan Wealer, not that I am complaining, but then the order welcomed her as their new leader. It makes one wonder if I were to ram a blade down her throat, would the monks then follow my commands?" - Mordain Thaendil.

One of the Last Guardians. Suck it.

Mistrandar arrived outside the room where the wife of Lathaon Thaendil stayed. The guards let him through. They knew who he was and his rank, though they did not budge until he showed them the note from Haidas.

As Mistrandar walked through the door, Arhaina stood up from her chair.

Mistrandar bowed.

"Who are you, and how did you get in here?" she asked.

"My name is Mistrandar Alicant," he said quickly. "I believe we have met three or more times. I'm a good friend of your husband."
