Chapter 3: Interlude Norloch

Enkir was in the council room, which had escaped the fire, when there was a knock on the door. He quickly put the Hulls' report away and took out a fresh sheet of paper on which he quickly began scribbling.

"Enter," Enkir growled and snorted as he saw Namaridh, a Bard who thought he was still for the light entered.

"First Bard," he began, "I have a crime to report, and a sighting of the rebels."

"Go on," Enkir urged.

"The two rebels came along the road, we, Ilar and I, recognised them as Cadvan of Lirigon and Maerad of Pellinor. We tried to capture them but Maerad stunned us. When I woke up Ilar was gone. I think they took her hostage."

"Thank you." Enkir replied. "You may go. Rest assured that we will find them. Now go and get a search party ready to search for them. May the light shine on you." He ended with.

Namaridh bowed his head and left.

As soon as he was gone, Enkir dropped his shield which he used to protect the evil inside him so Bards with more foresight than others would not sense the malice rolling off him, and summoned the Hull captain.

After giving instructions to find Cadvan he sat back down on his chair and smiled.

It was the smile of a predator when he knows his prey is close.

He closed his eyes and fell into a trance. "My Lord, Sharma," he breathed.

Meanwhile Namaridh was assembling Bards to find Ilar. "Soon." He thought. "Soon I'll rescue you Ilar. Just hold on."
