Kelan waved a hand and Mordus. "Do not speak your foul words here. It is only the favor of Lord Mordain and your current use to Weissland that keeps us from destroying you here and now." |

"Arrogant and dellusional, a winning combination no doubt." Mordus shrugged. |

Mordain ignored James's presence for the moment. "Tell me, servants of the 'gods', your powers are effective against the undead, are they not?" |
|
"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.

"Then perhaps you would be willing to lend your services to us now? We have formed a plan to largely weaken the approaching undead army. Lord Mordus, as well as a mage lord, will create a magical void that will render the undead helpless. With their minions subdued, the necromancers will be all-but defenceless. It is our hope that the Dragon Lords will be able to kill the necromancers. My question is, will you help us to do this?" |

"Very good." Now, Mordain turned to James. He gestured towards the tent entrance. "Lord Castoden, a word if you please." |
|

James nodded and followed Mordain out. When they were outside, James asked, "What is it?" |

Mordain walked away, James falling into step beside him. "I am not going to scorn you for your choice to leave this army, James. Your intentions were noble, though I must admit I was furious when I heard you had left. I want to know; do you understand that you cannot reason with the Dark Lord? If he killed you, then there would be nothing left to oppose him, no threat to give him caution?" |

"I didn't mean to just walk into his hands," said James. "I figured I would negotiate to get an audience with him, and then kill him there." |

"He would have killed you, James. Please understand that. Going before him alone would have resulted only in your death." Mordain paused. "But, that is not the main point I wanted to raise with you." |

Mordus walked out of the tent and sniffed the air out of habit. The scent was unpeculiar at first but a slight gust of wind quickly brought with it the dank smell of rot from the south. He spat on the ground and paced fast towards Mordain and Castoden. Experience told him that the corpses were never far from the stench. "We have to leave now, Mordain. I have a bad feeling about staying here, and I do not mean a mere hunch, the imminence of something is crawling under my skin." He said and looked at Castoden. "The men may be tired but we can afford them no rest until we reach Fargon, I suggest you speak with them." |

Like Mordus had done, Mordain sniffed the air. He too could detect a foul scent crawling along the winds. And besides that, Mordus was rarely wrong when it came to the dead. He nodded. "So be it, Mordus. Word will have to sent throughout the camp to tell everyone to pack up. If you can see to that, then I will inform those in the command tent." |

Mordus nodded and made a quick gesture above his head with one arm. Several Seekers; some from behind, in and around surrounding tents, and others from almost nowhere appeared. He uttered hushed words to them, knowing that orders would spread fast through the encampment. Then he disappeared with them amongst the pitched tents. |

With Mordus gone, Mordain turned back to the Lord Castoden. "As you can see, we no longer have time for this discussion. But, when we are on the move, I would like to speak with you." Without waiting for a reply, Mordain walked back to the command tent. Upon entering, he said, "It is time for the army to be moving again. Lord Mordus has detected that the undead are approaching yet again. I cannot say how close they are, but I don't want to wait around to find out." |

The four mage lords all agreed. Vedgar nodded, "Yes. I can sense them too, somehow." Mistrandar shrugged "I have no such ability but I trust your words. We must move on." |
