Merek knelt at his alter with the bowl of water in front of him chanting. The mist began to appear, and slowly a room began to materialise. He didn’t recognise the room, but he thought it looked as it might be in the castle.

Suddenly the face of Elder Digast appeared and filled the whole bowl as if he was looking straight back at him. In a panic, he quickly knocked the bowl off the alter spilling the water everywhere. Merek swore and began to worry that the elders would want to talk to him.

Chapter XII

The three of them ate a good breakfast supplied by the aide before packing their things plus additional supplies that they were given.

The aide escorted them down to the courtyard and through a door in the centre of the left wall. It was a long room that ran all along the edge of the courtyard. To the left looked like it was a place for people to relax and talk with many sofas and low tables. To the right was a long plain wooden table with many chairs seated around it.

A group of ten guards sat around the far end talking and drinking. As they approached, they stopped talking and turned to stare at the group.

“Halthor, I believe you know these people?” the aide said.

Halthor stood up scraping his chair noisily across the stone floor as he did. “Indeed I do. How are you Poriya my friend?” Poriya nodded,

“Elder Digast has sent these on a quest to the northern mountains and thinks you may be able to offer some advice or at least point them in the right direction.”

“Always happy to help a friend,” Halthor said. “Come sit and tell us about your quest.”

The three of them thanked the aide, and they took a seat opposite Halthor as the aide left.

“We are in search of Amalia Beastwalker,” Tallia said. “She is said to reside in the northern mountains. Have you ever heard of her?”

Halthor sat back and thought for a moment. “I can’t say I have. In the northern mountains you say? I have never heard of anyone living up there, What about you lads? Ever heard of such a thing when you have been patrolling the north?” They all shook their heads saying no.

“Do you know of where we might be able to find someone who might know of her then?” Tallia asked.

“I suppose you might find some information at Darkedge, but I would say your best chance is in Kargell Landing. It’s the most northerly city and fishing port. Still a good distance from the mountains but my guess if anyone has heard of this woman it would be there.”

“Can you point us towards this Kargell Landing?” Poriya asked.

“You have two possible routes. The safest and longest will be to head east to the sea and then follow it north. The other way will be quicker but more dangerous. Head north to the edge of the Lost Forest then turn east until you find Darkedge from there is a well-worn road to Kargell Landing.
