***

Only minutes passed before Lord Verkain seated himself with crossed legs on the floor in the center of his library. Around him on the wooden floor was drawn a pentagram in red powder. Hanging iron candelabras at either end of the room sent twisting shadows to spin along row after row of dusty shelves lined with books, scrolls, vials and other glass containers.

In the air hung the musky scent of burning incense.

Verkain sat for long minutes, silent and unmoving, his eyes closed. Before him, on the ground, was a small bronze basin filled with a red fluid which would bubble every few seconds.

“You have invited my presence,” a deep, grating voice said.

Verkain opened his eyes.

In the space before him floated a scarlet shadow, the thing appearing to drift on the air; in the center of the red glow were two golden, glowing orbs. No other features appeared on the thing.

“I have need of you,” Verkain whispered.

“Your plans must be in jeopardy for you to have contacted me so soon after my banishment,” the demon general Ybalik said, its voice grating.

“A powerful enemy has hidden himself.”

The crimson mist chuckled, a harsh laugh that shook the floor and sent vibrations through the Kobalan king.

“Markwood,” the demon said.

“Yes.”

“He is the last of The Twelve. He has within him the power to stop you.”

“He is weak, injured,” Verkain said. “If I locate him, I can wash away the last hope of Ashal.”

“I am unable to return to you, but there are others.” The demon’s voice sounded of iron scrapping against stone.

“Thank you, my general.”

“The price will be high,” the red mist said. “The soul of one of your serving whores will not do.”

Verkain grinned. “I have someone in mind.”
