Lunise's eyes reluctantly went down to the saddlebag in her hand. While Areldril made his explanation to Meesei and the others, she gave him another glance and then carefully pulled out the parchment sheet with the blue seal. She dismissed the ward in her off-hand to open the document and began to read. Her angry face slowly transformed to a blank suppression of whatever emotions the words put her in.

"That [i]is[/i] insane," Fendros said. "Marod, you knew this?"

Marod did not return to his levity, but he gave Fendros a look and an answer regardless. "Not about Vile's cult, no. As for the Dominion, enough is obvious now that to say any more would put lives at risk." He turned his eyes to Lunise and Areldril. "No offence intended, of course."

"Alright," Janius spoke up with great concern, looking at anyone who would answer. "So they want to sever stones from towers to destroy reality." He extended a hand upwards. "How do we stop them?"

Lunise was so still that observers had to look closely to know that she was even still breathing. Her eyes were no longer reading the words on the page in front of her. She simply stared blankly at the letter, blinking against the wind every now and then.
