Chapter 22: The Darkest Day

The portal chamber did not have many places to hide, but Dorenn had managed it. He blended himself into the corner and watched as Morgoran stepped through the portal to Symbor before he stepped out of the shadows. He had finished repairing the connection to the Symbor portal mere moments before they arrived. Now he was faced with a dilemma— other people had put their lives in danger to go after him. He was particularly worried about Trendan, Vesperin, and Tatrice. He had no doubts about going after and retrieving the keys, each one by one, but now he had to decide which key to pursue first.

The headaches were getting worse, and the urgency of getting to the tome was stronger than ever. With the tome, he could restore magic back to the way it was intended to be, the way Vex had intended it to be before the War of the Oracle. As Vex had warned him after the trials on the Isle of Doom, obstacles stood in every direction. He had to assess the situation and come up with a plan of action. Morgoran would be the toughest obstacle, so Symbor would have to wait. No, he had to get a hold on his thoughts. Morgoran was not the toughest; that distinction would be the dragons of Draegodor. The dragons would be a challenge that he was not yet prepared for. His only choice would be the general of Ishrak. He also needed to get his friends out of danger.

He manipulated the portal settings and directed it to By’temog. The portal opened, and he went through it. He felt and suppressed the now familiar feeling of nausea the portal caused, and emerged in the ruined city, expecting to run immediately into Trendan, but no one was there to greet him. He exited the chamber and looked around for any sign of Trendan or Vesperin, but there was none. Something was wrong; something didn’t make sense. He quickly went back into the portal chamber to see the portal swirling open once more. His first impulse was to hide, but for some reason, he just stood there. Morgoran came through the portal, followed by Melias.

“Clever, Morgoran, you knew I was hiding in the chamber, and you also knew I would not let you send my friends here to be put in danger on my account.”

“It was a long shot, I’ll admit. I thought you might catch on. I would never go speak to a king while I send someone else into danger alone.”

“Where did you send them?”

“I sent Kimala, Bren, and Tatrice to Draegodor. As for Trendan, Fayne, and Vesperin, I sent them here. I just delayed their arrival time.”

Trendan stepped through the portal first, followed by Fayne and then Vesperin.

Fayne fell to her knees. “That is a vile thing. The longer you are in that portal, the worse it gets.”

“Dorenn, you are here!” Trendan said. “It’s good to see you.”

Vesperin shook off the ill effects of the portal, and Dorenn expected him to react similar to Trendan, but he just gave a feeble grin.
