Tir Umihi and some of the Loa Mahte that survived the attack of the Payani warriors underwent trial at the Payani court in the presence of the Payani elders, some wealthy merchants of Payani origin, his father the chief and the governor of Nerdia which was one of Husavian states that the Payan village was part of. Romeo, Klara and Lord Mordian were also present at the court however Lord Mordian sat among the Payani elders putting on a fake beard and a long brown wig because he did not want to drag too much attention to himself because during the time when they were to plan for the attack on the Loa Mahte, he was surprised that he was known amongst some of the elders and some veteran fighters of the Payani. Now If he was famous among a few veteran fighters and elders, he believed that there was no way he would not be recognized by some of the wealthy merchants that were present at the court and no doubt they would want to get acquainted with him with the intention of boosting their tra

The elves readied their weapons looking confidently at Lord Mordian and Romeo as if they were about to wipe them out from the realm of the living. "Romeo are you ready for this?" Lord Mordian asked.Romeo nodded at him."Another thing to note about veteran cohorts - is that they do not give in or surrender to thieves, bandits or saboteurs, death is a preferable option." Romeo creased his eyebrows. "Are we going to die Lord Mordian?"Lord Mordian grinned. "That I do not know. I pray that the gods have not designed today to be the day of our journey to the realm of the divine.""Let us kill them." The skinny elf hissed and after two heartbeats the three elves dashed towards Lord Mordian and young Romeo.Lord Mordian tightened his grip on his long silver hilted xiphos. "Oh great Oridon help us to be quick with these three before the others will be tempted to be part of the skirmish and we will be heavily outnumbered." He whispered to himself in prayer.The skinny elf was the first to l

In no time Klara was done dishing out the contents of the pot and food was ready to be served.The image of his bed ridden nephew filled his minds eye and at once his spirit plunged. "Do not give up Lauihnio - my boy, my soldier, uncle is coming back and he is going to fix the mess he brought on Bauthinia." Lord Mordian whispered strongly to himself while he stared at the pitch black sky. "I swear by Oridon's mace I will not rest until I bring the Badorna lotus to Bauthinia to the arch cytix priest so they will purge you of -""Lord Mordian, it is time to eat." Romeo bent down close to his side.Lord Mordian gasped in surprise instantly and seeing it was Romeo he heaved a sigh of relief. "Oh Romeo what again." He scowled at him."The food is ready - Klara says you should come over and have a bite. It is beef soup and some barley bread, I have tasted it, it is so delicious." He said satisfactorily, licking his fingers."I am not hungry, Thank you." He said dismissively rolling over to

"Are you serious, that is good news, Romeo do you hear that?" He gave him a pat on his shoulder. "Here in Merveilland it is so easy to get the red feverfew plant - that means we will retrieve it without any fuss and with everything in place we will be back home in no time." Lord Mordian smiled feigning happiness.Romeo was not excited because he was aware that Lord Mordian was lying but he had to play along with his master, he put up a fake smile to cover up his disappointment towards Lord Mordian."I think you would have been less worried if you had talked to me about your need for the red feverfew plant." Said Klara."I am sorry Klara, the thing is that I have a problem with trusting people - I am sorry.""Apologies accepted Lord Mordian." She nodded gently. "Now let me leave you to your food, I am feeling sleepy, good night boys." Klara stood up from where she was sitting and moved to sleep behind the wagon which was distant from them.Lord Mordian was done with his beef soup but h

Klara looked worried. "Why does the government allow these creatures from outside to come into our city when they are fully aware of what the Skaezer has done to their own cities." She snapped."Hey keep your voice low, you do not need to sound like a segregate here in the open, It is bad." Dejar motioned for Klara to calm down. "No one knows why the government allowed them to come into our city however by the order of prince Elrond the soldiers at the gate make sure that no one with the Skaezer uses the gate either coming in or going out.""You also make sure you cover your nose and mouth cause they say the disease is air borne." The third elf said with his crackling voice."Yes that is true."Klara shook her head in dismay. "This is so sad hear." She said. "How many elves have died due to Skaezer?"Dejar held his chin. "According to the government about a thousand six hundred." He replied.Klara's eyes were wide open. "A thousand six hundred." "Yes that is how bad it is.""Great Or
