Chapter Six

QUEL

They rode across a windswept prairie in the baking sun. The air tugged and pulled at their cloaks and capes and they looked like leaves rolling in the wind. No soldiers rode out of the villages to stop them and the farmers went about their work as if the expedition didn’t exist. Night fell before they reached Quelak and they made camp at the top of a hill. As the sun went down in the east, they could see the lights of the capital glowing against the distant horizon.

Tych had decided they had been too unnoticed, so he called a conference of the expedition to discuss the way they had been received. “I don’t understand why, in a kingdom bordering on Western Evil, we haven’t been challenged in the least. Even in the northern kingdoms squads came out to meet us.”

Quez, the only thrandril in the group, knew the answer. “It is because of my village, Greenhaven. Quel has an army, camped peacefully in the coastal cities. My village has an agreement with Quel to magically prevent any evil creatures from leaving the area to the north.”

“I am familiar with the agreement. Does it work well enough that they need no protection at all from the jungle?”

“So far, no problems have surfaced but the lack of trust by the other kingdoms. They think Quel is strange for making pacts with the ‘devil races’. With the isolation of Quel, however, this hasn’t been a problem.”

This seemed to satisfy the two endarils and they turned to other matters. Tych’s mind would race that night with how to put this new strategic information about Quel to good use.
