The King's Castle. Havila.      "What are the tidings you brought from Poseidon?"   The Emperor's authoritative voice flooded the throne hall. Everyone seated was hit by its wave. Every new time he spoke seemed to canvass another level of the mystery in his voice. Probably it could be owed to another token of black magic. Pretty hard to judge.     He had addressed the question to the brother of Aojen and the third warrior. Both seemed to cherish the implication of their names so much that they wouldn't let it out.    The two were seated opposite each other. The emperor was seated at the edge of the table to the North.
