A
man kneeled before a silver orb above an oak root, which looks like a long
fingers and hands reaching to the sky and holding the orb by its tips. Leoness is
an orb identical to the one in Oracle, the Valley of Weredragons sited deep
beneath the high sea. Within it, a thick fog circled slowly and enchantingly.
An elder of Weredragon, Alnur Kama once warned the kneeling man that the fog
seen by most is an illusion, for the orb was made by white rock, not glass. The
kneeled man kept his head hung low with both of his hands rested on his right
knee. He kept his gaze low to the floor and waited patiently, as he has been
waiting for almost an hour now. Just when he was about to draw a sigh, the door
behind him opened in a loud bang, followed by hasty footsteps. He did not need
to look up to know that the riders are here around him. Soon, the four riders
kneeled beside him, head hung low and eyes to the floor. Waiting.
This
wait proved to be short when the door to the left of the hall opened almost
instantly and a woman in black dress entered. Her small, red lips curved
slightly into a smile as soon as she saw the four riders, but she offered no
greeting. Instead, she stood behind the orb and raised her hand. Instantly, the orb
turned red and the fog disappeared. “It is time.” Her voice echoed in the
hall, soft, but powerful. She is the Mage after all, the leader of the witches in Moghul
and one of the seven elders of the Order. Her standing gave her authority
similar to the Queen herself.
She drew up to the riders and with gentle
gaze, she spoke, “This will be our last ride. It is time to bring back princess heir”
