Xustiza

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!"

It had taken several hours for Dune to pack. He was in the third town, from the center of Xustiza, in his small apartment style home. He'd needed his knives and his potion kit stored and of course he needed to get his gloves ready. They were specially made to withstand most acids or poisons. They could also withstand small blades and other smaller weapons. He'd packed and hen came back to the center of the castle, via a route of bridges, ladders, and gates, and came to Yemen's chamber. When he entered Yemen was starring into the waters but he looked up and came to him as soon as he stepped into the room. "Your looking good" he hissed "excited even?". Dune smiled and hefted Yemen's bag onto the shoulder his bag of clothing wasn't on "I've never met anyone from the Temple of Jiraba before.....I'm looking forward to learning to how they operate!" They walked the halls in silence until they came out into the sunshine and looked at the two horses ready for the ride. They were loaded down with gifts and foods from their land. Although not many Guild Councils had happened of late Yemen had always tried to be hospitable when he went. That is why he only took one person with him. "Listen to me my son." Yemen walked.....well glided in front of Dune. "When we are there some of the guilds will be rude. We are a proud guild and have made some enemies over the years. However we have always supported the Unitate and Divinty is no enemy of ours either. If their is any foul play while you are here and you can't come to me? Go to Waa or Arina they will help you." Dune nodded impatiently and tried to walk around Yemen. But Yemen refused and continued talking "Also some may bring entire caravans of warriors to intimidate us. We bring two to confuse them. To them we are an old man and a young cocky boy on a mission for a weak insignificant guild. However WE know the truth and that is all that matters. Do not give away our secret boy. Do you understand?" Dune nodded again and walked to his grey stallion setting his bags in one of the bag holders. He then moved to Yemen's black one and attached his. Yemen glided over got over the top of his horse and hissed "Away we go then!"
