Snippet #1445987

Deep within Xustiza in a small room 5 people sit around a table. Around them many generals, admirals, lords, and strategists bustle about collecting info. the men needed and causing a general air of decision making. Finally after several minuets Yemen stands and his Guard behind him stands as well. Instantly a hush fell across the table "My faithful men" Yemen said in his raspy mysterious voice "You have done well in the time that you have been given! What have you found? He then sat and leaned back in his chair, again the Guard copied him. Instantly Nio stood up and said in her light girly voice "My naval fleet have found nothing sir! They say they see a general air of uneasiness from the other guilds but nothing that looks threatening!" She then sat and smiled at the man next to her he slowly got up, as if he hadn't a care in the world, and reported in a sing song voice "Yes my liege my army has seen nothing. We have started a small group of men towards the light but we have seen little to nothing else." He then sat back down and Yemen nodded "Thank you Johed! next he looked to Austin ho looked to a young man standing next to him "Austin's Redeemers have felt nothing out of the ordinary. Nor has Austin felt any disturbances since the light passed." The boy looked to Austin, who looked to Yemen and nodded. Finally Yemen turned to the last member of the party "My spies say Divinity are sending faeries to us for a guild council. Also Waa has nothing to do with any of this. My man said he seemed as puzzled as we were. I also dispatched five two man Brigades in hopes one of them would get through the Sands and find the light." Dune then walked out of the room. He hated councils, to many people, so he walked to the gardens and started tending his flowers, trying to look like a normal gardener as well. Soon he felt Yemen come up behind him. I'd like you to come with me to the council he rasped. Dune turned and said "Don't you normally take Austin?" Yemen smiled and started helping prune the flowers "I wont always be around Dune. Eventually someone is going to figure out how to kill me and they'll probably pull it off pretty easily!" he paused for a full minuet and then finally said "I want you to take over for me." he then turned and walked away. "Start packing. it's a three day ride to the Castle of the Pact!"
