A mage by the name of Galben Kaythiss, one of the healers, headed towards the palace. It was a day since they had been brought to the body of one of the mages, apparently struck down with some sort of illness. He was the only one with the idea that other people than the magical healers he worked with could do something about it. So, without consulting the others, he had come here.

He approached one of the Royal Guards and said "I seek an audience with the King. I have important information for the King, a life is at stake."

"Send the Legion back to their fortress. Should Mordain choose it, then his soldiers should be there waiting for him." said Zeal.

Marr nodded. "What of the Az'Gor?"

"They, too, can be sent back to their homes. There debt to Mordain has been paid in full, although I'm sure they would jump at the oppertunity to serve him further."

"Of course. Tell me, have you been given a standing position in Weissland?"

Zeal shook his head. "No, no. Far from it. But Shaellana asked me to stay and watch over the affairs of this country. That's something I intend to do to the fullest extent, in light of her passing."

"What of the King and his monks? They might not like your presence." Marr pointed out.

"The King is young. I have faith that he would welcome the council of one such as I, assuming he and I ever cross paths. I doubt I will see much of the political floor." He paused, his fists clenching at his sides. "As for the monks... those blasted old fools are the cause for all of this, all in the name of a pathetic 'deity'. May they be damned for all time."
"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.

The Royal Guard nodded and opened the door to the throne room, allowing the mage inside.

Galben walked into the throne room, rubbing his hands together nervously. He wondered what he would say, and also what his fellows would think of him going behind their backs like this. But he felt it was necessary anyway.

Sitting on the throne, James saw a mage walking towards him, looking very nervous. Beckoning with his hand, James asked, "What's going on?"

Galben bowed and said "My Liege, I come with worrying news. One of our mages collapsed yesterday and was brought to the healers terribly ill. We have been unable to cure him with magic or other means, and we do not know what is wrong with him. It is possibly some new sort of illness, but we cannot be sure. As we have been unable to do anything, I believe that the Monks of Aracen may be able to do something." As he mentioned Aracen he seemed to stand up straighter, as if the name emboldened him. He continued "And as they have been at your side, I wondered if you knew where they were, or how to summon them, my Liege?"

James nodded. "A small contingent left on some urgent business, but there are still some here. I will send several of them to your mage. Where are you keeping him?"

Galben answered "He is in the Keep on the second floor, one of the rooms closest to the stairs. There are healers near the door all the time, so the Monks will know which room it is."

Galben bowed "Thank you my Liege." He turned and left the throne room, returning to the Keep. As he expected, there had been no change in his absence.

As promised, two monks approached the room where the mage had said their patient was and entered. "What is going on here?" the monks asked.

One of the healers turned to face them and said "I could ask you the same thing."

Galben called over from the group of healers he was standing beside "I asked them to come here, we need their help." He walked over towards the monks, standing roughly in the middle of the room, surrounded on all sides.

Another mage said angrily "You went behind our backs? What do you think you're doing Galben?"

Galben silenced the young woman "I'm doing what needs to be done!" He turned back to the monks and said "I thank you for your quick arrival." Gesturing towards Drakkon, who lay unmoving on the bed "This mage collapsed yesterday and our healing has been unable to do anything to help him. We fear it might be some new kind of illness. We cannot afford to have an unhealable illness spread amongst the population. Can you help?"

One of the monks, a woman in her late forties with brown hair, held her hands over the man on the bed. "Evil lies heavy about this one, yet not in him."

One of the other healers, the young woman who had spoken before "What does that mean?"

Galben said "Sshhh, Beth, keep quiet and let them work."

The other monk, a young man, walked up beside her and asked, "What are we to do?"

"This will be difficult to heal," said the female monk, turning to the mages. "This is not a physical affliction."

Galben said "Hmmm, then is it an affliction of the mind?"

"He is...haunted, almost," said the monk. "There is something bound to him."
