“WELL?” demanded Hail Storm as he entered the tent.

“Nothing.” The young warrior-priest lowered his eyes. “We have scryed, but have not found them in the area of the thea camp.” He hesitated, then continued. “It hampers our efforts that we do not know what the Sacrifice looks like.”

“What of the one that brought us word?” Hail Storm growled as he settled in his chair. “Did she not—”

“A fleeting glance, no more. Reddish hair, and outlined in magic.”

“Keep trying.”

“Elder, we have almost drained this place of its power.”

“Drain it dry, then we will move the camp.” Hail Storm paused. “Have the summons gone out?”

“Yes, Elder. All of the warrior-priests have been summoned. We have even sent out summons to those that wander, but it is doubtful that—”

“To the Heart?” Hail Storm demanded. “You summoned them to the Heart?”

“Yes, Elder.”

Hail Storm paused, aware that he’d been a bit abrupt. “You have done well, Gray Cloud.”

The warrior-priest bowed his head in quiet thanks, and left the tent.

If the magics had been drained, so be it. After years of conserving the power, there was now a need. And such a need. The source of magic, the source of the restoration of their power, was here. Hail Storm’s heart beat faster at the idea of being the one who would lead the warrior-priests back to their glory.

Glory for the people of the Plains, certainly. But what heights of power could he rise to, with the magics returned to the Plains?

But he had to remain focused. The Sacrifice was wandering the Plains, and he must be found and brought to the Heart. Word of this must not reach the warlords or any of the eldest elders. This was a matter for the warrior-priests of the Plains, and them alone.

Hail Storm calmed himself. He’d wandered in his time, wandered the wide outer rim of the world. He’d ventured into the “civilized” lands and learned what he needed to know of other paths to power that the weak feared to tread. When the time was right, he wouldn’t hesitate.

He’d make any sacrifice necessary to achieve the powers of his ancestors.
