James followed Mordain while Kassal waited where he stood. |

The pair entered a room just off from the main hall. It was a guard room, consisting of nothing more than a table and a few chairs. Mordain paced towards the back wall. "What do you want to talk to me about, my Lord?" He resented keeping Nathaniel out of the loop for now, but James was King after all. His word was law. |

"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. | |

"These men are yours," said James as they entered the room. "What you choose to share with them is your business, not mine, but I did not want to bring up anything you wanted to keep from them." He took a deep breath and said, "Mordain, I should never have sent you away." |

"No, you should not have." he said simply. He turned around to face James. "But you did not travel all this way, my Lord, to tell me what you should not have done." |

"Of course, but I wanted you to know I realize my mistake, that I realize how foolish and thankless I have been," said James, looking down with shame. "Mordain, can you forgive a foolish, thankless man?" |

"What I told you in Asulien still stands; I will not hold a grudge against my King. Weissland is your's, as is my loyalty, just as it once belonged to my cousin." |

James nodded. "I thank you for that," said James. He paused and then said, "And the second thing I wished to discuss with you: Laiya, the female leader of the monks, told me about someone called Krodalis, and I discussed it with Marr. No one seems to know much of anything save that he is very dangerous. I was hoping you could shed more light on the subject." |

"I know very little myself. There is a good chance that the monks would know more than me." He sighed and began pacing the room once again. "We have encountered him a number of times now. As of yet, he poses no threat to the physical world as he seems to be unable to interact with any of it. But he has servants, dark and terrible. One of them spread a plague through Amei." He stopped and looked directly at the King. "James, the city of Amei is dead. Its people all fell to the plague spread by that abomination." |

The news hit James like an icy knife, driving deep into his chest and freezing his face in an expression of pain. "How...uh...how many?" asked James, rubbing his hands down his face. |

"I cannot say for certain, but I doubt that any survived. When Nathaniel and I walked the streets, everyone was falling victim to the sickness. Some were displaying black marks on their skin. It is a plague born of magic. We did not have the ability to cure it." He sighed. Anger was building within him, but not at James, rather at himself. He was becoming furious that he could see the faces of the people of Amei and know what had become of them, yet not feel even the slightest remorse at their passing. "I don't know how long the sickness would take to kill them, but even if any do still walk the city, it will be too late to save them. They were just sitting around... waiting to die." |

"What must be done about this Krodalis and his servants?" asked James, clenching his fists while trying to remain calm. He had thought he could protect his people, but it was obvious not that he could not. |

"Of Krodalis, I don't know. It seems he needs the elf in my company, and a boy I saved from Amei, before he himself can have any real power. But his servants are all mortal as far as I can tell. They can be hunted down and killed. And without them, he will have no one to carry out his dirty work." |

"We came here to find refuge from them. Perhaps I could kill them myself one at a time, but if they attack in a group then they are a force to be reckoned with." |

"Thank you, my Lord. But there will be other matters in Weissland that need attending to, as well. Before I headed for Amei, I heard of a straggling Necromancer Lord that had established himself east of Nairio. I know of people who can help in this task. The army should be kept to deal with military matters." |

"Nathaniel has already shown his commitment to this fight, and proven himself more than up to the challenge. Then there is Zeal, who still resides within Asulien. His power is vast, perhaps even greater than my own. And there are a number of Seeker officers scattered across Weissland that I can summon, officers that I trust more than most. I am not short of allies, my Liege. I will hunt these monsters to the ends of the earth and see them broken before me, should you wish it." |

James nodded. "Mordain do whatever you have to, but when you find where this plague-bringer is, I want to be there." He clenched his teeth and said, "I will kill him myself for what he has done to my people." |
