of part 3 of chapter 10

this part has been delayed of its posting, and thus i now post it..

It was almost dusk, and they were about 50 leagues away from their destination. Queen Khoo requested to take a rest, and they heeded while Master Shang looked at the skies.
“What do you see?” asked Lady Yen, who already sensed something amiss ever since the summoning incident. He made no reply, but as she turned away, he saw four shadows of dust down south.
“Inor giliath tin tor en dagor,” muttered Master Shang, which meant for “the stars are veiled, battle is at hand”. Queen Khoo immediately knew what he meant, as she saw Master Kang riding towards them, with speed swift as wind.
Much to her surprise, both of the masters knew the coming, and they sent forth their respective light beacons, which were responded by Master Kang’s red light. Apparently they knew it was an ill omen, confirmed by Lady Chie Kuan, who somehow told them to ride to them head on.
They did, and it was just a few moment they met.
“Hail the Elven Queen of Istarugah, and as well the Holy Guardian,” said Master Kang, “I suppose you know our intent. Master Shang, you must host the council now!”
“What happened?”
“The High King is poisoned and unable to come to us. Moreover, by law, you are now in the power to exercise the authority of a High King of Ossir.”
The revelation proved to be a great shock to him, as he just asked to quickly finish the journey, forgetting whatever is befalling. The stars were veiled by a coming storm, but they were unaware that Avernis was repeating the same thing as he did, two thousand years ago. In addition, when he cast this spell, he arose from his circle of power, armed himself, and moved out of his chains.
The true assault has commenced.

tomorrow the 11th chapter will begin...
