[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 5079417, member: 60965"] Session 28, Part 10 Harold walked into the woods, scanning the darkness for Suniel, the cloth-metal ward around his neck pressing heavy and cold on his chest. Even though he had only been a dozen or so paces behind the wizard, Suniel had somehow vanished utterly upon entering the wood. In the Wood, it was dark and close, the shadows seeming to churn and roil at the corner of his vision. His nerves were on edge, like something behind him was about to leap onto his back with fang and fury. “Suniel?” His voice sounded muffled. “Suniel!” A minute later he couldn't take it anymore, claustrophobia threatening to overwhelm him. He pushed through the woods quickly, a rush of adrenaline shooting through him at the thought that he had made a wrong turn and didn't know the way out. A second later, he was pushing his way back into the sunlight, sweating, walking past the line of wards. “Well?” Bail said. Harold turned to the Hollowed One. “Where did he go?” The Hollowed One smiled. “He has gone into the Fae.” “What?” Harold said. “What does that mean?” Kormak chuckled. “We've been talking to this guy for half-an-hour without getting a straight answer and you expect to get one now?” “When will he come out?” Bail said. “When? Where is just as valid a question,” the Hollowed One said. “Like that, see?” Kormak said, looking at Harold as he pointed to the Hollowed One. “That's what I'm talking about.” “Care to elaborate?” Bail said. “There's no need to wait for him, for he has entered the dream of the world beneath.” Everyone waited for the Hollowed One to continue. They probably figured, like Harold did, that asking him to clarify wouldn't help much. “He could leave the dream in a day, or a year, or ten thousand years,” the Hollowed One said. “Or never.” The Hollowed One paused and stared off towards the Landspear, piercing up through the clouds on the horizon. “He could walk out right next to us, or a mile away, or on another world, another plane.” “I wish for his dream to not upset the balance of the world,” Kormak said, his expression deadly serious for once. The Hollowed One turned to him and tilted his head to the side. “Do you consider the world to be in balance now?” While the dwarf was pondering the question, Harold turned to Bail. “Did he leave that doorknob of his behind?” Bail stared back at him with mutual distaste. “Why?” “Because some of us have been keeping things in there and don't want them to be sitting in there until the wizard decides to wake up or walk out of his magical dark dream. Let's get everything we can out of there.” Keeper walked up, staring after Suniel into the woods. “Your master isn't coming out of there.” The construct turned and looked at him, his empty eyes flickering and sparking. “Why does that matter?” “Will you continue the mission without Suniel?” “Who said I was following Suniel?” Keeper said. For once Harold wished the construct had an expression. “Well, the mission needs to continue. Will continuing it be a problem?” “If it's like it has been so far,” Keeper said. With that, the construct turned and walked back towards the Skyland. Harold stared after the construct. He'd never trusted it to begin with, but this just confirmed it. He wondered if Bail would be a problem now without Suniel holding his leash. It would distract him from the mission the Magisters had sent him on, but he'd kill the half-dragon if he had to. He shook his head and followed Keeper. “Bye-bye creepy Empty Man,” Kormak said as he followed behind. Harold glanced back to see Bail and Kormak following him. The Hollowed One and his wagon were gone. [/QUOTE]
