If he failed to do so..." Khalia trailed off."Still, perhaps it is better to tell you myself." She began, and gave an overview of her work yesterday for the second time this morning.**********Needless to say... Gerrold got himself a right bad rearing out over that.  And Khalia got herself her own enemy as a result.  Not that she really cared... even at her young age she could tell just how little influence a cleric like Gerrold really had... especially now... and she knew she had nothing to fear about the runny-nosed little man.  He might've been threatened by her, but she in no way was threatened by him.What was a threat... at least in her own mind... was Elder Nevillom himself.  A threat to the church, a threat to their council, a threat to whomever was walking through the jungle up north, and most especially a threat to himself.  Khalia had seen fanaticism back home in Thrane... hell, her father employed several men and women who had a similar single-mindedness of purpose.  The only difference of course being that those men and women were fanatical about reading, studying, and learning... three things that do not tend to cause untold death and destruction.  Nevillom's fanaticism however... that would cause it.  And each day that their company marched north through the jungles of Q'Barra, and the Elder's incessant braying about their crusade began to have a more and more delirious effect on the servitors of the Silver Flame that marched with him... she became more and more afraid that she would not be able to control things when they reached their conclusion.And looking around at who they travelled with, she did not think she was going to find many of the company who would share her more subdued approach.</blockquote>
