Chap III
They traveled across the eastern sea for days, until they finally hit land on the Elvish continent of Nurenmor. From there Devist and his men tied up the boat and set off inland. After two days of traveling with no one too see but each other, they made it to the city gate of the main evlish city of Canunamic. "Welcome back Devist, to Canunamic. It has been a long time." "Yes it has, Enowa, 23 years I believe." "Almost to the day. I am honored you remember my name, you were only a boy of ten when you first came here." "How could I forget the name of the woman who took me for a ride on her tiger and taught me to shoot an arrow?" "Yes, I see how that would stick in ones mine. What brings you here again?" "The undead have returned my lady, and we are down to our last city. I have come to get the help of the Elves and the Orcs." "I see. This affects us all. I shall send someone to Bloodlust immediately." "My lady, I can go, you needent do this for us." "No Devist, our ships are ten times faster then yours and you know it. If what you speak is true, and I do believe it is, then we need all the time we can gather. Does the King know we are coming?" "He knows in his heart, but he still refuses to admit that you even exist." "Such as it is with most men, always refusing to believe they need help even when it is set before them." "Unfortunately so..." Enowa turned and told one of the archers standing by her something, then turned back as the archer ran off. "Our troops will now be loading onto the boats, and us with them. How is your father these days?"
"Dead, he fell with the second city, Fritanor." "Oh, I am grieved to hear that. He was a great friend, and shall be honored well when we have the time. But come, we can speak more on the ship; we have much to do and not much time to do it in.

"Undead?!?!" yelled Gangar at the elvish messenger. "That is what Devist tells. My lady Enowa has sent me to ask you to send troops to the humans. Will you not come?" "We will. If this is true then were better off all standing together. We had to learn that the hard way last time. But if this is a lie, I will personally cut Devist's throat!" Gangar nodded to a peon, telling him to get the troops to the ships. "But we must hurry," Gangar continued, "We have many towers to build!"

"You seem concerned Devist, why?" asked Enowa from behind Devist "I didn't tell you this before but, when I left to find you, I was called a traitor and banished from my land." "You needednt worry about that, they will surely accept you back once they see the army we bring!" "Well the King is a fool, and he is greatly blinded by his own pride, he may still not accept me..." "Well if you are banished, then always remember that you will ALWAS have a place to live amongst the Elves Devist, but I don't think the King is THAT stupid." "I sure hope your right."
Devist sighed and turned back to start off the front of the boat at the sea for most of the rest of the journey.

"My lord, one of the shades watching the shore has returned. He reports seeing Elvish and Orcish ships approaching the human continent." "It is of no concern; we will just crush them all at one time. How is the troop production coming along?" "Well, over 1000 of every unit is now up and armed from yesterday. Oh, the two-hundred crypt friends you wanted are ready, should they attack the fort?" "Yes, tell them to destroy as many as they can, one at a time." "Right away my lord."
Bastien bowed and left to go carry out the order.
