Nathaniel replied "I seriously doubt he will. You are a witness after all and with the Queen's decision to remove you from the Royal Guards... I'll probably catch hell for this, but you'd be better going with the monk and remaining with them for a while. If we learn anything I'll make sure you're included in any mission to rescue the King."

"Of course," said Kassal. He nodded and then walked away, his monk escort coming along with him.

Nathaniel waited until they had left before turning and heading inside the Seeker base. By now the prisoner would have been put into a cell, so the black-clad mage went off to find Marr or Lord Mordain.

Mordain closed the hidden door and entered his office once more. Kristian was still contained below. He was frightened, as Mordain had expected, but he had not made any progress in finding out about the boy's power. Seekers had been busy around the scene of destruction Kristian had left, and soon everything would be ready to lay the blame with necromancers. Over the past few days he had been recovering from casting the cloaking spell and putting wards in place around the Seeker stronghold to prevent the monks teleporting in. In truth, he was still weakened from the cloaking spell and making the wards. But his full strength would return soon enough.

There came a knock at the door.

"Enter."

The door opened and a Seeker stepped through. "My Lord, Nathaniel Drakkon has returned with a prisoner. He is looking to speak with you."

Mordain nodded. "Get Marr and show both of them in here."

"Yes, Lord Mordain."

It wasn't long before Marr arrived. Both men waited for Nathaniel to get to the office.
"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.

Nathaniel arrived at the office after being directed there by a Seeker. He bowed his head slightly and said "Lord Mordain, Marr."

"Come in, Nathaniel." Mordain was sat behind his desk upon his large armchair, with Marr stood obediently next to him. "I am told that you have returned with a prisoner. Who is he?"

Nathaniel answered "It's more what he is, one of the individuals who helped capture the King. We don't know his name, yet. We tracked him down in Ledek and brought him back here rather than attempting to question him there."

"I see. This is an invaluable success, Nathaniel. I will handle the investigation. Perhaps you should assist me." Mordain rose slowly, still leaning on his staff as he moved to the door. "Has the prisoner admitted to anything? Does he know why he is here?"

Nathaniel stepped out into the corridor as he said "He has not admitted anything, but he came with only minimal urging, so I believe he expected being found out to be a possibility. He does seem fairly intelligent, or at least has a healthy dose of common sense. I did not tell him why he was being taken, especially after he came without a fight, as I thought confronting him with his crime might make him resist."

Drakkon concluded "Still, I found a piece of torn fabric at the King's campsite and used a spell to lead me to the owner. Given it's location it could only have come from someone who climbed into the camp down some high rocks, and Kassal told Marr and myself that they were taken from behind, which also pointed to the attackers coming from the rocks. Also, the man recognised Kassal when we apprehended him."

They moved slowly down the corridor towards the holding cells. "So this is likely one of the attackers, rather than the man who acted as a messenger. If he truly has a healthy dose of common sense, as you put it, then he will not resist or lie. Still, if he hasn't resisted so far then I see no reason for him to start now." He lowered his voice before continuing. "I am sure this has already occurred to you, but let me be clear. This man's life is over. I expect the Queen will want his head, once we are done with him. For now, let's keep that knowledge to ourselves."

"Of course, Lord Mordain." Nathaniel said. He cleared his throat uncomfortably and said "Ahem, by the way. Kassal wanted to be a part of the interrogation. I sent him away to the monks, rather than let him ask you for that."

It seemed that Nathaniel expected Mordain to be angry, but in truth he wasn't. Nathaniel had demonstrated incredible skill and initiative by finding this prisoner. Such an achievement allowed Mordain to overlook what he viewed as a mistake. Though it was not all bad.

"That is not a problem. The monks were so determined to keep Kassal in their temple, let them have him. This prisoner will be kept here until I have finished my investigation. But," he looked over at Nathaniel, "if the monks come looking for him then it will be your task to get rid of them. Understood?"

They were almost at the cell door.

Nathaniel nodded "Indeed, I can do that. Mostly I sent him away because while I think he could have been of use, well... Kassal had a little monk, it's robe was white as snow, and everywhere that Kassal went, the monk was sure to go. It keeps those sanctemonious fools out of the loop at least."

"Ah yes. I had forgotten about his 'bodyguard'. Well, in that respect it was a sound decision."

A Seeker guard opened the door before them and Mordain stepped through into the man's cell. A simple hand gesture ignited the torches along the wall. The prisoner was sat against the far wall with his hands bound behind his back. Slowly and purposefully, Mordain approached him. Seekers entered the room with a chair and placed it down before leaving again. Mordain sat down opposite the man and let his heavy gaze wash over him.

"What is your name?" he asked simply.

Nathaniel leant back against the opposite wall to one side, looking at the prisoner and Mordain. He felt it would be best to let Mordain's fearsome aura and reputation take full effect on the man.

((Just got to wait for Hotshot now. Off to eat.))

"Laren Janiks," said the man almost immediately. He was not scared, but rather very willing to cooperate.



((As I already told Chad, I have to report for a month-long training exercise for the Army on Thursday morning, so I will not be able to access the internet until I get back at the very end of July. I'll keep posting until I leave, but after I leave, you guys feel free to take over the roleplaying of Mr. Janiks here if we don't finish him off before then.))

Mordain nodded. "Laren Janiks." he echoed. "You are here as part of our investigation into the disappearance of the King, although I'm sure you have realised that already." He leaned forward in the chair. "I want to know your entire involvement. I want to know everything you know; every name, every place, everything. If you lie, or withhold anything, or if I so much as suspect you of holding back, then I will take you apart piece by piece. Do I make myself clear?"

((Cool, thanks for letting us know Pat.))

Nathaniel stood there and listened. If the man needed a bit of prodding he might say something, but he doubted anyone would be foolish enough to try lying to Mordain.

"Of course," he said, and added with a mutter, "No need to be stupid about this, no need to lose my life for someone I don't know." He took a breath before saying, "I was hired by a girl along with two others to kidnap someone, she didn't say who, but said we would have to be careful and sneaky about it. I think she handled the arrangements beforehand, because I didn't know hardly nothing about what was happening until it was almost happening. There were two of 'em, but I didn't know until afterwards who they were. We took the King and left the other, your friend, and went north, put 'im on a ship, and the girl left with 'im."
