[[Enters from the Great Wall]] Loter and his men was the last to leave the Great Wall except for the rangers who soon joined them. The soldiers switched on carrying the wounded but soon they were all gasping for air. Loter decided it would be safe to rest a few minutes, if anything could be safe in their current situation. Loter grasped a flask of water, and tried to get Nathaniel to drink something. |

--Enters from Great Wall-- Nathaniel took the offered flask of water, taking a few small sips before passing it back. He said slowly "My thanks." For all his injuries, what was worst was the broken rib and fatigue which had truly set in now that the adrenaline rush from the battle was passing. He had attempted to use a healing spell upon himself, but drained of energy from the fight he had only been able to stop the bleeding to the wounds on his arms. |

"What's your name," Loter asked. "You're not dressed in uniform, nor in armor so what was your unit?" |

Nathaniel answered "My name is Nathaniel Drakkon. I am not part of the Great Wall's defence force, I am an honourary Seeker. I was not here by choice, I was part of the returning armies that arrived at Ordail. That was where I was captured by a vampire of the Defiled Kingdom and brought here." |

Loter was shocked by surprise, but in a short moment he was also quite suspicious. "You managed to escape from this vampire?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ At the same time Ariakas was tracking through the mountains. He began to remember more and more the further he went. He walked a small mountain path a little bit east of the Pass of Kuren. At one point he stopped and experienced the magificent view of the mountains. To the south was the Defiled Kingdom. Thick clouds covered it. He saw the Great Wall standing there, as a thin defense against the giant wasteland to the south. He remember when his father first had shown him this view. |

Nathaniel shook his head "No. They had me tied up in a tent at the rear of their lines to torture and interrogate me. After they left me alone I carried out the first duty of a prisoner and escaped." |

Loter looked down the valley. The rangers were catching up with them. He turned to Nathaniel. "Could you tell me anything relevant about the enemy? Did you see their commander?" |

((Umm, might want to edit that Ariakas. Its Nathaniel, not Gorfang. ))Nathaniel looked at the elf, and he shivered visibly. He answered "Yes, I saw their commander. I... saw... Drathmor." The name sent another shiver down his spine, like a spark of electricity. |

((whoops :S )) "Did you talk to him," Loter asked, looking intently at Nathaniel. |

Nathaniel nodded slightly, trying to keep the image of Drathmor from his mind. He replied finally "Yes, he spoke to me. And I to him. It is not a conversation I would like to ever renew." |

"But why in the name of the gods did they take you," Loter asked then. "Why are you of his interest?" |

Nathaniel shrugged his shoulders "I do not know. He claimed that I had power, and tried to make me serve him. He failed. But I have no power any greater than any other ordinary mage of Weissland. How can sane men fathom the reasonings of the undead?" He leant forward from the rock he was sitting on, secured the belt and scabbard around his waist, and then said "Perhaps the Defiled Kingdom is trying to increase its forces by attempting to convert mages to their cause as necromancers. Or they are simply trying to deny Weissland magical superiority by killing or turning as many mages as they can. During my long travels I was alone, its possible they felt that I would be an easy target because of that. But having failed to get to me before I arrived back amongst the forces of Weissland, they took what chance they had to capture me at Ordail." |

Loter looked a long time into the face of Nathaniel before simply nodding, "You are a remarkable person, Nathaniel." Then he stood up, "I hope you will tell me more of your story later on." "Your words about the Defiled Kingdom makes sense. Many are the mages of Ataya that have stayed within the luxury of its halls for too long, and has been blinded by their own power and skills. Now only seeking to improve what they have gained". |

Nathaniel stood as well, feeling the sharp pain of his rib. He hid it well though, and stood upright. He said "Yes, I will tell you more, but we have lingered here overlong. Surely after breaking the defences so quickly the Defiled Kingdom will press its advantage and push on into Weissland? We must move on. News must reach Ataya." |

"You are right," Loter nodded, then looked at Nathaniel's abdomen and back, "Will you be able to keep up? I'm afraid I sent the last cavalry we had either into battle to hold them off for a short while or north to Kuren and Ataya." |

Nathaniel smiled "I can keep up. It will take more than a beating at the hands of Moarbrek to slow me down." |

Loter chuckled before turning to the rest of the men. "We are moving forth, and will not halt until we reach the town of Kuren. There the militia should already be assembled, and the inhabitants already made for Ataya. Let's move out." |

Nathaniel followed the rest of the soldiers, keeping in step well enough. As he walked, he noticed that the spirit of Lilith Albrecht was remaining very quiet, not saying anything in fact. Strange, he thought, but Nathaniel Drakkon did not have time to ponder her silence now. They had to reach Kuren before the forces of the Defiled Kingdom caught up with them. |

The force of soldiers came to a way where the road split up. The right road led into the mountains, while the left one led further on to Kuren. The men were about to move on when some of them suddenly were aware of a figure standing on a huge cliff overlooking the pass. The man lifted his hand as a greeting to them. Loter looked around him. The men seemed confused, though Loter lifted his hand and greeted the man back. The Watchers of the Mountains of Kuren were nothing but myths to some, and many of those who believed in them considered them more dangerous and hostile than anything else. |

Nathaniel stopped with the soldiers, as they looked up at the figure high above them with confusion. He was not confused, but rather intrigued. He wondered how many strange occurances can happen in so short a time? |
