Chapter 11: One Among Us

Lady Shey winced as she got up out of bed. Kerad, the cleric, rushed into her room, “My lady, I must protest. You need another day or two to recover.”

“You let Gondrial go.”

“He was very insistent.”

“So am I. I have to get back to Sylvalora and my coachman. They are waiting for me, and I am sure they are worried sick. I was supposed to return in a few hours, not a few days.”

“I can’t talk you out of traveling?”

“No, I am afraid not.”

“Very well, but you realize I will have to report this to Morgoran.”

Shey gave him an annoyed expression, “And you think he will comprehend what you are telling him?”

“He understands and remembers more than you might realize.”

“I’ll take my chances. Plus, it’s been a long while since I was his apprentice. Morgoran himself couldn’t stop me from returning to my obligations.” With that Shey exited the room and quickly made her way to the portal. This time she could use essence to activate the portal rather than dragon magic. Her side had splitting pain, and she thought a moment about asking Kerad for some pain remedy, but she decided to travel instead. She was already tired of his healing lecture. She activated the portal and stepped through it. To her amazement, when she came through the other side in the White Tower, her pain was all but gone. Sylvalora was curled up in a newly cleaned corner with a blanket. She stirred awake when the portal dissipated with a loud hum.

“Shey, thank the gods. I was about to come after you.”

“I was delayed because I was injured in a fight with two Drasmyd Duil at the Tower of Morgoran.” She turned and twisted at the waist but still almost no pain. She let one side of her dress fall to examine the wound, and it was just a large bruise now. “I am healed; how?”

“It’s the portal. It has built-in healing properties. Migarath thought it would be useful, but it ended up getting most of the portals destroyed during the War of the Oracle.”

“I always thought they were destroyed so the enemy couldn’t use them to escape.”

“That too but imagine if you had one nearby where you could filter soldiers and wielders back and forth through.”

“I see your point.”

“There are more viable portals still around than people realize. One of Migarath’s apprentices, who helped him develop the portals, managed to repair or rebuild several of them after the war and before his untimely death.”

“Why are they mostly forgotten then. It seems like they are something we need to keep around.”

“Their construction is completely forgotten for one. When one breaks or stops working no one remembers how to fix it. Also, several of them are in places where magic has become outlawed, and then there are the few in Ishrak where no one would dare use them. But enough about the portals, did you see Morgoran and give him the Lora Orbius? How did you come to fight Drasmyd Duil?”

“Aye, I saw him, and yes I gave him the stone.
