beginning of chapter 5:

Chapter V: Messengers of the Dragon-lords

That night, the wide plains of Koruskan were touched by a wind, and were shined upon by beams of moon and starlight. Despite the skies were veiled in the mask of darkness in the east, it was yet unsullied in the west, indicating hope still exists.
From the summit of Tower of the Guardian, there stood two men, observing the plains of peace and tranquility. They were Master Shang, together with Master Ran, who was also known as the Archbishop. High above the white city of Koruskan, they looked across the skies.
“Damn, she is late.” said Master Shang, who was already annoyed by the apparent late coming of Master Ran, now even more. “How in the heavens can she come late when she is the one requesting something for answer?”
Master Ran, who was cool in nature, replied, “No wonder she is scared of you. You get yourself so enraged even on a small mistake. By the way, I thought you wished to speak to her alone? If so, why call me up here?”
“I dare not speak to Lady Yen alone, for some reason. It is because the pain in me that fuels my anger, and I feared that I could restrain myself no longer, and commit an assault with my sword. I called you up, is as well to shut the mouth of others. Anyway, you’re going to Istarugah with me.”
“What?!”
Delighted by Master Ran’s sudden reaction, Master Shang smiled, then continued, “Your so-called girlfriend is from Istarugah, and I expect that she wants to return there as well. Four of us must go together, while the High Master will keep guard on this city.”
The darkness of the night was deepening, and both of them were getting impatient. An hour gone past, yet still no sign of her. After all these waiting, they were both getting angry.
Yet, all of a sudden, two figures appeared from behind and surprised them. They were Lady Yen, as well as a stranger. Master Ran was ready to point his staff at the stranger, but was immediately restrained by Master Shang, who somehow recognized the stranger.
“One standing beside the Archpriestess, you are Lord Pivinesh, Dark Lord of the Dragon as well as the Dragon-lord of Quinoros. What’s you message you want to deliver?”
Lord Pivinesh, upon hearing Master Shang’s remark, said, “I’m deeply sorry that I came here without any prior notification, thus caused surprise to both of you. I apologized also for using the Archpriestess as a bridge to seek your audience.”
“Why should you seek apology from me when the one you used is the Archpriestess? I’m not her, yet you wished to connect the both of us in some sort of chains.” replied Master Shang, whose sarcastic look was no longer concealed, much to the dislike of both Master Ran and Lady Yen. They then decided to intervene in his matters.
However, Lord Pivinesh wished to speak to Master Shang alone, and they were both forced to go back down.
While they were gone, Lord Pivinesh then bowed, and said, “Master Archknight, you and your Knights must help us. We the Dragon-lords can hold his minions no longer. The Nether Lord Avernis has ravaged Adium, Torheven and Nirven, soon he’ll strike the city of Angobar. We don’t have the strength to repel him.”
Now this really roused the interest of Master Shang, “Avernis, was the evil who was imprisoned by the combined forces of the lands about two millennia ago. What happened until he broke forth from his prison?”
Lord Pivinesh was stunned, stunned because Master Shang managed to strike his mind by the first question, and thus he narrated the whole tale.
