((We didn't have any scouts that would be that far south, and even if he did manage to escape, there was no way he would reach the army before Drathmor's forces did...I thought we discussed the fact that everyone would die and you agreed.))


James walked along through the darkness, pulling his cloak tight as the cold wind whipped at him. Suddenly, there was a bright flash of light, followed by many more, and suddenly he was surrounded by a cadre of men and women in bright white robes.

"James Castoden," said one of the men, stepping forward.

"What do you want?" asked James, his hand straying to the hilt of his sword.

"There will be no need for that," said the man. "I am Kelan Wealer, a leader of the monks of Aracen, and you are making a grim mistake."

"How do you know?" asked James.

"Drathmor cannot be bartered with," said Kelan. "He will kill you where you stand."

"I'm not going to just walk right into his hands," said James. "If he'll agree to cease the war, to let Weissland live in peace, then I'll go to him. Enough people have died in thie war. Weissland has been ravaged up to the River of Light. This needs to end. I need to end it. If Drathmor will speak with me, then I'll kill himi where he stands."

Nathaniel said "The man's got balls, you've got to give him that. But the monk is right. Bad idea."

((Just a small suggestion. The point where Castoden, Nathaniel and the monks are could maybe be in a new thread? I can move them, it will only make the whole thing easier to follow since this is the most active thread at the moment))

"Nathaniel Drakkon, right?" asked James, trying to remember. "How did you escape the rearguard?"

Nathaniel pointed a thumb at the monks and said "That's down to them."

"The fact of the matter is, there is no hope for you to reach Drathmor and fulfill your plan," said Kelan. "You would die long before you were ever granted an audience."

"So what are we supposed to do?" asked James. "The army won't reach Asulien before Drathmor's vanguard overtakes it."

"True, but a rearguard could perhaps hold them off long enough," said Kelan.

"I don't like signing men's death warrants," said James. "Any rearguard we send out is doomed to die, everyone knows that."

Nathaniel sighed deeply "We've all had to send soldiers to die to preserve the lives of others. It is not an easy decision, nor should you ever like it. But there doesn't seem to be much choice. Use another rearguard, so that the rest of the army can reach Asulien, or the entire army fights whatever force catches them."

"Whatever I choose is not what will happen," said James. "Lord Aldron is in command."

"Then Lord Aldron will make the decision, not you," said Kelan. "We tarry here too long. We need to return to the army."

Nathaniel pulled the hood of his robe up. He rubbed his hands together, noticing how cold it was.

"Then let's go," said James.

Kelan nodded to the other mages, and one by one they began to wink out, until only Kelan, Nyla, James, and Nathaniel remained. Kelan and Nyla focused on the two men and teleported them before teleporting themselves as well.
