Pos id nehc iom Tenipotis, pace hiebit bad regnet in Mensdehkerds vatan, Sommerlund.
Sub Monwolfs wanakia, id kharab Kawi monasteir buit reconstruct ed retrohv sien prever

Mensdehkerd hieb fauran prekhissen od semjecto grave jinkdousit. Monwolf ghi ne hieb
kunct pre kyukes iom kay is ieur id alarmant bayan os Swamen Rimoah : ye id sud ios

Sem wakt prever, ies Awi Magi hieb mathen ex un amin mukhabar od Autarcho Sejanoz,
cruel tyrann os Bhanar, hieb just yisen samt megil secret un drungin siens personal

Iaghi Skadhplains sont bayna Magnamunds hostilest gaivias. Ye id kerdo tos tursaykwos
oistieu xiawngja id staur poli Naaros, tun sub id waldh os Agarash iom Muazab. Yed id sigh
iom Awen Magen hieb reducen id do un gigantesk kowp om lava, bur ed scorias. Pos long

Aunstehgus od i yeudmi ios Autarch, bertors ios mahibe Nogh, joinskweer Bhanar unte ia

– Weysmee, Awi Magi, sagvmos destruge Naars Nogh... bet tehrbmos preter xihes id,
hieb is explien ad Monwolf. Way, ne hams ia necessar competences kay recupere

– Niet ses un facil task, hieb admitten Monwolf, bet hams lakin id double vantage om

– Yaghi, hieb yaht Rimoah, bet tehrpsiemos disfundare yant posmiddien sei volmos

Monwolf sal-eet maimourasce med tod challenge, bet alya homologhias appelleer iom

viwohsen separet ud Rimoah kun id Nebhskander bihsit attaquen ab un horde ptercten
creatures compluken ex deub ia Skadhplains. Vidend od id hassile ios katu riskit ei ses

Mensdehkerd hieb deciden na-hensel ia trupps ios Autarch ed, med id hehlp im skulks, is
hieb kamyaben lambhnes Naars Nogh. Bet ne pro diu, way ! elghi peind hieb reghens id

un terrible katu unte-yod eys quanti driugs nohc. Yed ir sacrifice ne buit vain ar Naars

Mensdehkerd hieb dind iter fortrohct abord id Nebhskander kay ghehde do Pensei, id

Ja hieb eys trupps uperact id grance, spehrnd kam uno nebos em harbant akrides per id

Cada dien, messagers arriveer do id palat os Xo-lin kay mehlde nov marloubias. Yeji id
syrat ye-yod id armee ios Autarch ieg perodh, eet clar od Pensei vahsit mox pehde ep sien
roig. Ibo Sejanoz lambhniet iter Naars Nogh, Rimoah decis tun rikes hast-ye do Dessi.
Baynd pro id securitat irs milen Khea-Khan, vasyi cortoyers urs iom ad fortrehce con iom
Awo Magum abord id Nebhskander. Bet is veut souverain diwid to darm-ye, refusend
linkwes sien land ed sien subjects kun danger stohmbit proscher.

Nespekent ia iltijas os sien familia ed sien radhers, Xo-lin ghi mien in sieno nagor. Is
antrus id boltia ed ia kyudsa neren sienios maschour imperial guardia kay repulge id

Samt aghnuend kerd, Xo-lin ghi se resignit do linkwes sien palat, eger lakin is saferit stradi
ed ne unte airvia, kam Rimoah. Tuntos, buit alnos permidt kay evacue id imperial familia

Tod plan kwahsit id hol approbation os Mensdehkerd. Is acceptit aweis escorte Xo-lin ed

wehrgiet kam planen.

– Pre wassaliemos con mutu in Tazahan, Grand Mayster, iey is magos ad

Mensdehkerd med un solenn voc, gvehdsiem ud Ishir ke wakht uper vos unte id

Aun iom, meg baym an ia Nov Rigs vipehde sub id waldh ios zalim Sejanoz.

Un febrile activitat regnit in id thronkielken ios palat os Pensei. Ex iom senst guarde do iom

Medsu tod agitation, is veut Khea-khan tolkit con Kau-Doshin, eys derv intendant. Ir

– Ste sellgwohmen, Grand Mayster! iey is ei Kawi jahar. Som profund-ye honoret od

Mensdehkerd ei redahsit tod compliment se declarend-ye nravihto de safer in eys

sokwnia, poskwo sprohg iom quan id caravan esiet parat ad fortrehce.

– Unte minter quem oin hor, mien swamen, antwohrd is ei Kawi tiergend-ye sien chol

Mensdehkerd acceptit ed is Chayi officiero prim eys antwehrd med uno marba smeih. Pos

Mensdehkerd buit besonters impressen ab ia Kirusamis – genis gaysen qua tik ies

Chan ei dik poskwo oikarmurs ed is insistit kay Mensdehkerdo probirit un golden zirah.

– Tod protectionstype est un Ang'sei, yani un « gwitsmantel », explicit is. Solid kam

Tod wehrmen eet druve-ye skaun ed is Kawi decis navehse id. Dind, dar con Chan, is tohr

– Reidsiemos nieb mutu, Swamen, declarit Chan uwnend-ye ia striepmens.

Kun bo sess ep irens reidbiestens, skohpteer silent id adgumt ios veut Khea-khan ed os

Ia strads os Pensei eent plena med bloska, cries ed duil. Ter odeer swoid ed spissa. Bet

Menxu id ek fiell clus honar-ye apter iom, Mensdehkerd kieusit ep id rlwotou ios strad un

Sekwent ia hissabs os hetman Chan, tehrbient amalan tri diens kay nake tod urb. Mae id

Ye fayront, i hielt kay dehme id lagher pro noct. I chus pro to un clin uperkeihnd un villar

invitit Mensdehkerd ad smyehre sien dorkwo con oikens cochers. Is Kawi acceptit khalal

– Sont Xi-zahrs, iey is anancend-ye ia ad Mensdehkerd.

Sosmee subpohnd ed chohx ia samt interesse : dwo baygh-ye gwaur ivoren cubes, ornen

– Tien future est swekwohrt, mien brave! mohld is ei soldat. Tien esor tib gehnsiet un

Chan aweis bahsit quodlibt bet eys fameusa Xi-zahrs ei dieugheer kay ayge tsay id moral

Mensdehkerd acceptit, ghens ia zahrs, ann ep ia, poskwo rollih ia ghomi. Chan se clih kay

– Yu drehdsiete mult challenges ed aunmercie bois, Swamen, mohld ei is med un

Poskwo, Mensdehkerd se installit sub un wogh, norocto de ghehde bad rahate. Pos un

Chano manthih tunkye Mensdehkerd od Kronar eet un prever officier ios Chayi armee. So

Yeng acquiescit ed ei vienschit sell nassib ye khafi voc menxu is Kawi dub do id

Aun luses un secunde, is Kawi se precipitit kyens ed bir med sien Kirusami un cutt ad

Pos diehnus iom prisoner ep un ekwem, ies rik id waun. Yant arriveer, hetman Chan wohl

Ye id swon tos menacend strid, eys quant Kawi senses buir alertet. Is fauran parvols ed

Ies wighs diehr ir ekwens poskwo joineer id caravan kay relate ia senst wakyas ad Kau-

Mudhen ub ab tod menace, Chan spohd ad znayce fortrehctum. Ye fayront, id convoyo

Id caravan likwit Zanaza pos minter quem oin hor ed, menxu is birid ep id petratecto strad

Pos andus tri quardels leuk ep difficil terrain, joineer id verdia quod dwissexit id forest.
Sohkweer id unte un wassime quardel leuk eustworts, bet Mensdehkerdo khiss lakin od

Ex okwangwl, is Kawi observit id verdia kay pites oiskape eustworts. Bet tankus sien

Yed Mensdehkerd wiern Chan ies ne dil con Agarashis os ordinar type. Sei ies chargient i,

Bet Chan refusit categoric-ye stiupes ghom ed, speit sien insistence, Mensdehkerdo
khiekit convinces id ad linkwes sien dorgv ed derv aygur. Protievol, is decis tun sehkwe

Is Kawi tentit sakwnihes sien reidbiest intizarnd-ye id signal os Chan, bet hatta pre so se

Hatta pre Mensdehkerd habiet habt wakto kay bemehne un actionsplan, oin im

Quasi nohkwit kun arriveer bad ei caravan. Kau-Doshin bevis un terrible beghspacia kun is

Posdini, id itner obkwohk way meis difficil quem plant. Id rurstrad eet in baygh khak stand

So se precipitit do id wogh ed aunstohg princesse Mitzu consolend ays son. Is orm purt

Eys cries hant alertet nos, iom capitan ed me. Kun hams arriven, hams surpriden

Mensdehkerd mersit sien stalspecto do ia okwi ios wir. Eys Kawi sixto sense iom pussirit

Mensdehkerd ghi sigwrit ad Chan od isghi mieyn so wir eet sassimi. Pos ta werds, is

– So wir hat gvohnskwt nies prince ! Exclamit ia gver-ye. Un solg agos naudht

Tod intervention emovit id umum ed plur cortoyers approbeer jahar id haja ias

Mensdehkerd eet persuaden od so wir bihsit accusen ghaw-ye. Kay pliehge trehve el

Ye id presto diutis ios dien, Mensdehkerd hohlp hetman Chan ad destruge id malefic

– Mae leuste speh, hetman, ho un plan, ei iey Mensdehkerd. Un albatta perileus plan,

Chan bud sem voluntars ke abage do mission con iom Kawi. Fauran, sergeant Yang ed tri

Menxu sergeant Yeng exkardkieschit sien eins ed se elien unte id daunoskyal tiel id dwer,

Mensdehkerd eet taraghen ab id nehc os sergeant Yeng, bet is conscicit id sam fat

Glehmernd protiev id sten, is rexit poskwo sien khayr yoitkwe id helm passit do id

Dind, is riskit glanzes kyid prever daunoskyal ed eys kerd quasi stopit bate kun is dyohrc,

Bet is diabolic Autarch auncovohr fujatan id presence ios Kawi. Med un voc stupen ab sien

– Cada resistence est inutil, orm merti ! Mien trupps sont quantloc, ste kern !

Mensdehkerd sa-jawieb kay challenge iom, kun un atroce gvol nabugit eys ghalv. Is

Is Kawi gvohn tom bhanari officier, bet is Autarcho tun lambh iom yun Kamada ! Samt sien

– Aman ! Salvte mien son ! exclamit Mitzu, aunspeh.

Is Kawi apterdrahsit iom Autarch, bet kun is niek id entrat ios gixiadau, Sejanoz vols ed

Mensdehkerd naviex iom Autarch in un sall quos akmen hieb just collapt sub id effect uns

Ed id Autarch fiell ep sien genus emittend-ye un agonia heul. Ja bimyohrk id corpos ios
