"I know how evil it is. I know how it corrupts. It is just that an enemy is easier to fight when you know his capabilities. Everyone is vulnerable, and I do not want them all relying on me to protect them," Lathaon argued. "Even if I only taught them the effects of some common spells, at least they might know what to do..." |

--Enters from Kuren-- Mordus landed silently outside the Mystic Tower, hushing Draicha much less compassionate than usual. He felt knoted and torn as he walked through the main entrance and strained not to colapse. He passed a score of mages, none of which were phased by his hollow appearance, hidden as it was behind his hastily drawn hood. Entering as before; a cloud of smoke passing through the solid wooden door, he rematerialised rapidly, noticing suddenly in a glance that the Archmage had arrived, accompanied by the stranger from the ship. He moved slowly towards the group, bowing gravely. |

Before Mordus reached them, Mordain whispered into Lathaon's ear. "Let us speak of this after the council is dismissed? I beg of you, do not mention this to them yet." |

"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. | |

"Of course I won't," Lathaon replied. He moved away and turned to see the new arrival. "Greetings, Mordus." Meanwhile, Haidas had also been quietly talking to another member of the Order, observing the hushed discussion between Mordain and Lathaon, and no doubt noticing Mordain's sudden shock. |

Mordain did as his cousin did and turned towards Mordus. "What news did you bring of Kuren?" |

Mordus made to speak but paused, only to speak rapidly a second later. "The Town was attacked by an undead host," His voice grew hoarse and he stiffled it. "none were left alive. I have seen to the corpses." The left hand by his side tremmbled and he covered it with his cloak in response. |

"Of course," Lathaon said "But where did they attack from? South? West? Within, even?" |

"There was no sign from whence they came my Lord, only piles of dust..." He forced back a shudder as he remembered the blood. "none were left to tell of the attackers." |

"No tracks? Nothing?" Lathaon said, disappointed. "Then perhaps we will not be able to hunt them down and destroy them." |

Mordus thought on the words; "destroy them", over and over in his mind but to no avail. Nothing stired and it troubled him more than anything, refusing to give way to the usual myriad of doubt. He clutched his trembling hand with his other and felt the need to withdraw from all the others. Yet stayed, bound by his duty. He tried a few hollow words. "If I may my Lord," He swallowed painfuly. "Ataya must take presedence over Kuren. If we are to stand we should surely do so within our greatest bastion." |

"My Lord, if you truly wish to empty the vault, then I would say we should move far from the city. Such dark artefacts must be kept as safe as possible." |

Mistrandar Alicant talked now, "Surely if we fall back and away from Ataya the people defending the Great Wall will be left on their own." --------------------------------------------------- Ariakas slowly took seat in a dark corner of the room. At the moment he had no thought to the Defiled Kingdom, Ataya, Lathaon or anything else. All he could think of was what this man, his name was Mordus, had told. Kuren destroyed? It could not be. Ariakas looked to the floor, and thought it through. |

"The Wall is doomed to fall, or so we can assume from the reports we have received. The lives of the garrison is a necessary sacrifice to save those of this city." said Mordain. He could tell that the fact he could dismiss life as easily as he could raise his magic made some of those in the room uncomfortable, but it mattered not to Mordain. He cared little for what others thought of him or his actions, save for his cousin. "It is a dark and undesirable truth, Mistrandar. The Wall must die for Ataya to stand a chance at living." |

Mistrandar nodded towards the dark-clothed elf. "I understand this Mordain. Still there are certain lives that can be spared from the slaughter at the Great Wall. Surely both you and Lathaon are mages far beyond any of our own powers," with this he gestured towards himself and the other mages in the room ,"is there not anything you can do to save some from the terrible fate there. There are certain lives at the Great Wall which are off great value to Weissland at the moment." |

Beneath the shroud that concealed his face, Mordain arched an eyebrow. "Oh?" |

Mordus was hit hard as he was reminded of the garrison. Had he not seen to the sealing of their fate? A fresh wave of dispair swept over him, crawling in his bones and wracking his senses. It was too much. He made for the door, heaving it open and disappearing out the main entrance, no thought but of the dead. |

"Yes Mordain, the front line is no place for civilians," Lathaon said. He walked closer to Mistrandar. "Of the defenders of the Great Wall, there will be few survivors. Mordain and I cannot save them from this fate. If we were to cause most damage, we should hunt down the necromancers and military leaders. They, unlike the undead hordes, are far less easily replaced. Now, Mistrandar, when you say 'certain lives', who do you mean? ((Have and will be away for a while. Day or two, probably.)) |
