She quickly searched for her transmitter, which was on her belt pouch.

Zena just ignored Donotyr and answered the call.

"It's Deng," Deng said to Zena on the transmitter. "This is something very important. I have just discovered that our leader, Azotha Myruas, is working for the Ignominies. She also sent an assassin called Timaoth to have our former leader, Fugmius, killed.

"I'll be coming later," Zena replied to Deng.
