"He should still be in Elvandar, if things are as he planned them. He will return to Stardock in another month's time." "Captain Subai," said Patrick. "Can you get messengers to Yabon?" "It's difficult, Highness. We may be able to get one through the mountains to the north of Loriel. Perhaps reach some of the hillmen from Yabon. One of them could continue on to Elvandar. "

Patrick said, "Subai, leave at first light for Darkmoor. Get whatever help you need and go north. I have no one else to spare for the task. Greylock and von Darkmoor will press on until they reach the invaders' Positions south of Ylith. Jimmy, you will go south to Duko and apprise

him Of what we face. Krondor is now an empty shell and vulnerable. We r,must show a strong face to everyone. Dash, you must keep this city under control, by whatever means. Now, Lord Silden, please stay and help me compose the orders. Gentlemen, the rest of you are dismissed."

Outside the Prince's quarters, Jimmy said, "Captain Subai, if I pen a message to my great-grandfather, would you see he gets it along with the other communications?"

'Of course," said the Captain. "I expect we'll both be at the city gate at first light tomorrow. Give it to me then. And I will have something for you. Until then, good night." Jimmy and Dash bid the Captain good night, and Jimmy said, "Well, Sheriff, help me compose a letter to Great-grandfather.it Dash said, "Sheriff?" With a sigh he followed his brother.

The dawn was still hours away) but the sky was lightening in the east as Dash stood next to his brother. Upon another horse sat Malar Enares, the servant from the Vale of Dreams, who had somehow learned of Jimmy's journey. He had prevailed upon Jimmy to allow him to ride south with him, claiming that while work was plentiful in Krondor, payment wasn't, and that his former master's business holdings along the Keshian border might still be operating. As the man was harmless company in the main, and often useful, Jimmy agreed. Captain Subai rode up with a company of his Pathfinders and handed a canvas-wrapped bundle to Jimmy. "This was your father's sword, Jimmy. I took it from him before they prepared his body to return it to Krondor. I knew as elder son it was to be yours." Jimmy took the bundle and unwrapped it. The hilt was worn, and the scabbard nicked and scratched. But the blade was immaculate. Jimmy drew the blade and saw the faint outlines of a miniature warhammer seemingly etched into the forte of the blade. He knew that this was where Macros the Black had empowered the blade with a talisman from the Abbot of Sarth Abbey when Prince Arutha had to face the moredhel leader Murmandamus. The sword had hung in the study in Krondor since the old Prince's death, and had been sent by Duke James to his son. Now Jimmy held it. "I don't know," said Jimmy.
