part 3 of chapter 6

the continuation....

“Wait here while I report to Her Royal Majesty.” said Lord Jerome.
“Well, besides the Queen, there’s one more person I think you will like to meet.” said Master Shang.
“Who’ll be the person whom I wished to meet?” asked Lady Yen.
“One who is equivalent with you, a great master of lore of druidism and arcane, perhaps divine magic as well. She’s the head of the Order of Tirisfil, religious order of the elves, ranked after the Queen only. She… is the Holy Guardian of Istarugah, Lady Chie Kuan, heir apparent to the throne.”
“You still remembered her?” asked Master Ran, “After all these years we left here? Now that we’re once again here, for sure you’re anxious to see her, isn’t it not?”
“Yes…”
All of a sudden, two figures appeared out of nowhere. All of them bowed down, as they knew what it implied. Queen Khoo and Lady Chie Kuan appeared right in front of them, bade them to rise.
“Your Majesty, Your Honors, it has been a decade since we last met. High winds of time becomes a tide of darkness, and out of all choices, we’re here to seek your counsel to combat your old nemesis, the Nether Lord Avernis.”
Lady Chie Kuan replied, “Can the formalities. Ten years I haven’t see you, and now you’re the Archknight of the Kingdom of Ossir, the greatest defender of the eastern front. The grace of sunlight is with you for sure. As for you, Master Ran, you’re not only the Archbishop, but somehow had the affection of our Royal Highness here.” She looked at Lady Valerie, who just turned away, face turned red.
And thus they entered the Palace, while Queen Khoo bade them to sit. “Dire straits are the words I can describe in regards to our current situation. Another city of the Dragon-lords fell, and each day past hastens our downfall.”
“Agreed with,” said Master Ran, “for out of this reason we came to you. We’ve no idea on who this Nether Lord is, nor do I think anyone within the Kingdom will know as well.”
“You’re taught to learn the elven lore since you first came here. Nonetheless, the elven lords had a council the day before, and we decided to hear your opinions in regards of aiding the Dragon-lords in their defense.”
All eyes now looked downwards, as though something has clouded their minds. It was near midday, and the sun shone above the Palace in a majestic manner. Though it was summer the tall trees kept the place cool.
After long last, Master Shang broke the silence, “Your Majesty, the Dragon-lords, for long, are our greatest enemies ever since the founding of the Order. This you know. Even so, the people of the eastern frontiers desired peace. Thus, it can be said that we should aid them against Avernis, but in return they must relinquish all enmity between both sides as well. Should we not help them, and they fall, then both kingdoms will be directly exposed. By then Avernis would have returned to full power, and will be well nigh invincible.”
Queen Khoo was satisfied with her former apprentice’s analysis, and she replied, “I’ll tell you, that one of you must contact the High King of Ossir as soon as possible. I’ll have the need to commune with him. Who among you all can do that for me, do it quickly. As for you, Master Shang, kindly stay here later, as we have secrets to tell you. For the others, the city is open to all of you. Feel free to explore it yourself. If there’s nothing in say, let it be. You have my leave to go.”
