Suddenly, Mordain stopped. Something far out to sea caught his attention. Magic flared through his vision, showing him what had transpired so very far away.

"This necromancer can wait. We need to travel to Amei." he said hurriedly.
"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 nodded "If you're sure." He thought for a moment and said "We could teleport if it is urgent."

Mordain shook his head. "That won't be needed. The ship is still a few days out at sea, and the power released by teleporting would easily alert our new enemies. This necromancer and the monks will have to be dealt with later."

Nathaniel nodded "Very well, let's get going then. Strange, in all the time I've lived in Weissland I've never actually been to Amei before."

Mordain turned around and began the long journey towards Amei, Nathaniel trying to keep pace as Mordain walked far more rapidly.

"Not a favourable place. The law enforcement there is faltering, and has been for many years. When we get closer, perhaps we could risk teleporting to close the difference."

Nathaniel continued walking. He wondered what this new threat could be if it required more immediate action than a necromancer lord.

As several of the monks focused entirely on finding traces of where the two fugitives had gone, Laiya approached Kelan. "Things did not go as planned," she said.

"Yes, I know that," said Kelan.

"What are we to do about it?" asked Laiya.

"Find him," said Kelan. "Hunt him down."

Laiya looked about, her eyes settling on the guard captain. "There will be those who help him, who believe he is right even in Aracen's eyes."

"That is heresy," said Kelan. "They will be dealt with."

Laiya looked back at him and was silent for a moment, but finally said, "Very well."

"Kelan," said one of the monks, walking over. "They are heading towards Amei."

"Good work," said Kelan. "Prepare to leave."

The pair had made good progress through the woods, now moving out onto the grassy fields south-west of Nairo. It would take some time on foot, but if they made good progress in the next couple of days then perhaps Mordain could risk flying and carrying Nathaniel. Or, as the mage suggested, they could teleport. But Mordain would rather not do that. The evil he moved now to stop would surely sense such powerful magic. In any case, he hoped to reach Palein Wood by the end of the day. He could carry on through the night, but knew that Nathaniel would have to rest at some point. Sleep was something Mordain had lost a long time ago.

Nathaniel had been silent as they walked. If he did care what awaited them in Amei, he was welcome to ask.

Kelan, Laiya, and the other monks prepared themselves in a tight circle. Then, one by one, they all closed their eyes and disappeared in a flash of white light.

Nathaniel walked at a good pace, as they moved across the fields. He asked "What is happening in Amei that is more important than fighting the undead?"

"A long story, Nathaniel, but I suppose we have time." He kept up a quick pace as he walked, but took a deep breath before he started speaking again. "There is a ship, once a vessel of the Weissland navy, that is now home to a group of pirates. They are making their way towards Amei. I know this because, years ago, I placed a magical rune upon the ship to cloak it from the enemy. That seal has been destroyed, which means the boy I hid away on that ship is now in danger."

Nathaniel nodded "And we have to get to the boy before the enemy does something to him?"

"Yes. This enemy seeks to regain a portion of its power from the boy's blood." Mordain sighed. "The enemy tried to take him before, sending one of his servants along with a force of undead and heretics. I almost lost my life defending him that day; his family was not so lucky. The enemy destroyed the boy's home and, in truth, I had thought him dead. But he survived and was found by a pirate crew several days later, having crawled from the wreckage only to collapse a mile away."

Nathaniel listened as he walked. He asked "Will these pirates be looking to help the boy or this enemy? I'd rather we don't have to get Weissland's soldiers involved in this if its not necessary, they're in short supply as it is now, but some potential allies would be good."

"The pirates will side with us. The Weissland military will be kept from this matter. There are a select few I would bring in on this matter. The fact that I have told you... Nathaniel, whatever happens in Amei, you must not speak of it. All that I have told you is as much a secret to me as your Watchmen is to you. Do you understand?"

He nodded his approval before continuing. "I don't know what we will face in Amei, either. The enemy has far more powerful servants at its disposal than the lackeys I faced last time, powerful as they were. As well as that, whoever destroyed my rune must be on board the ship, and they must be powerful to have done so."

Nathaniel kept walking but took the opportunity to check his bag of possessions. Since it would be a few days before they reached Amei, he needed to eat something to keep himself going. He took out a piece of bread wrapped in a cloth and tore off a chunk. As he walked he ate thoughtfully and between a couple of mouthfuls he said "Since at least one powerful enemy is on the ship, we really need to be in Amei before they can disembark. Perhaps ambush them on the docks."

"Perhaps, but a powerful foe could be a risk to the people of Amei. If we can beat them there then I will have the militia order an evacuation of the docks. They need not know why."
