THEDANK CASTLE on the edge of alake was deserted of guards, retainers and caretakers. It was not, however,empty; there were birds, snakes, bats and insects the size of a man’s fist, allof whom reclaimed what they regarded as their territory. Bat droppings stank upthe place, feathers hung suspended from thick spider webs. Squeals of newbornchicks, mostly raptors, echoed through the dark, empty halls and passageways.Brightly coloured, dangerous snakes slithered out to find warmth according totheir biological instincts and rats skittered away at the sight, fearing tobecome dinner. In a short time, the jungle and its creatures had retaken thestone habitat.

It was not habitable and Krikianwrinkled his nose. “You are not serious.”

“Perfect,” Lowen uttered, while lookingaround nervously.

“We will clear a section,” Torrullinsaid. “And it is perfect. Nobody comes here.”

He led them up dark, slippery stairs tofind the chambers the Valla women and children used when in residence. Theywere now in Grinwallin. The chambers were cleaner, if marginally. Yet he wasdismayed. It was not right to leave Krikian in these conditions; it was akin topunishment. Whatever haste determined, it was not this.

“It will be light soon. We clean up andthen rest.”

“Agreed,” Krikian said, dropping hisload.

“You are delaying,” Lowen accused.

“I would not leave my worst enemy inthis hellhole. And we need a full night’s sleep. We get this place habitable indaylight, and then we go.”

She had an ancient carpetbag with her,and she set it down with great care. “Fine.”

While objects of powercome forth to manipulate and threaten, among them the Dragon Taliesman, themighty Valleur Throne, the swords called Lumin, Catharsis and Nemesis, the trueconnection is the Maghdim Medaillon, a magical device thought forever lost.Realms entwine when slim fingers one day finds the golden coin hidden in asterile desert.
