--Enters from Ataya-- The army continued its retreat across Ledek's span. Mordain remained slumped on his horse. Slowly, he turned his head towards Shaellana. "Messengers need to be sent to all nearby cities and towns. They must evacuate and move north." He paused, breathing heavily. "And I want word to be spread that should Arhaina be found, I want to know of it as soon as possible." Shaellana only nodded before relaying the orders accordingly. Perhaps half an hour later, Mordain watched riders, some on horseback and others riding winged beasts, split away from the army in various directions. |

"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. | |

James walked up next to Mordain and walked beside him for a while. After several minutes, he asked, "Where is Lathaon?" |

Ariakas had been given a horse because of his ambassador-position and rode a few strides behind Mordain. He quickly shortened the distance as he heard James Castoden inquire about the archmage of Weissland. |

Mordain turned slowly towards James as he sat atop his mount. "The Archmage is in a place beyond the reach of you and I." His voice was weary and lacking the usual anger and strength he spoke with. |

"Mordain," Ariakas asked with a slightly, for once, humble voice, "Could you please me more specific on that. I'm sorry but I... don't know how to put it, it's maybe something..." his voice faded. |

James turned and looked up at the Realmer, riding on a horse beside him now, and shook his head before turning back to Mordain and saying, more as a statement rather than a question, "He fell, didn't he." |

"Into darkness, yes. Into death, no." said Mordain, speaking to James still. "The Archmage has left his mortal form. His soul has entered the Plane of Death. I... I cannot say if he will ever return. It is not something any of us can help him with, at least not yet." |

James nodded and was silent for a moment. Then he asked, "Where does that leave us? What are we to tell the men?" |

Ariakas shook his head. This was most unfortunate. He had needed Lathaon Thaendil, needed his help. And just at the moment he realized it the archmage was lost. Ariakas cursed the events which had led to this. Cursed Lathaon for doing what he did. At any point in the past he would not care much for the archmage doings, whether he lived or not... but now, now when he for once needed him. Ariakas spat on the ground and let his horse fall back in the column. |

Mordain shook his head. "I don't know. With the Archmage gone, I am left as the commander of all of Weissland, but the soldiers will not rally behind me as they did with my cousin." |

"Fear keeps the men in line beneath me, but not love or admiration. Soldiers looked to the Archmage with hope and pride. I cannot give them such feelings." |

Suddenly Ariakas' horse was besides the steeds of Castoden and Mordain again. "Mordain," Ariakas spoke. "I think it's about time I make my leave." |

Mordain turned towards Ariakas. "And where will you be heading?" |

"To where I should be of course," Ariakas responded. "I am of no use here, and at the moment I fear the White Realm faces the same threat as Weissland." |

Mordain arched an eyebrow. "You wish to return to the Realm?" |

"I do," Ariakas nodded. His face was calm and showed no emotion, his eyes looking directly into the shadows of Mordain's hood. |
