Journey into the Darkness

by Chuck Galloway

When it was silent once again, Melonia looked to the wizard. "So when shall we depart for this journey for which my help is required?" "We will leave sometime in the next day," Jollb said. "We are expecting an additional arrival here later today. At the latest tomorrow. If he has not arrived by then, we will still depart, and he will be forced to catch up in a few days." "Yes, the dwarf that I have seen," said the visionary. "You need not worry. He will arrive before we depart. I am sure that we will get to see this attack as well, but you may to not want make your presence here known or else we may tip our hand. Unless you can prevent any from escaping, that is. I think me having seeing these things in action will greatly help in preserving our lives. I like to say that you should never miss the opportunity to learn something about the opponent without them knowing. That is always helpful." Jollb smiled at her. "I most look forward to seeing what these strange creatures are that Zarcain has in his service. I do plan to see if I can capture one, and we will see what else he has in store for Demella Mass."
