Olympus Attacked Again

[Elathiel]

Tonight, under the guise of discussion, Olympus was attacked yet again. The Brigante, Triston and Razak, came to Olympus just before sunset. Ancient Wolf met them at the gates with a mighty "HOLD!" and only Triston approached more near. They spoke for a while as Rand and I watched closely from the south wall of Olympus. They spoke for some time and things were partly cordial, or at least respectful.

  However, as the sun set and formalities were exchanged, a new Brigante, Morticia, appeared with a Wyrm at her disposal! They quickly jumped atop Wolf and brought him to the ground. Wolf never had a chance. Rand and I got to the inner gates as they did and, on instinct, we both met with Triston in the archway. He drew blood from us both, but paid for it with more of his own. It was both sorrowful and joyful to bring him to his death. We were forced to fall back to regroup with each other and heal. Then, Razak came racing around the corner and met his own fate. Morticia, however, with her Wyrm at her command, was not so easily dispatched. Rand and I were seprated as I had to fall back from deepening wounds. He had her on the run, but the Wyrm dispelled that idea as well and sent him reeling as she withdrew to cast a heal spell. Problem with this, however, was that she withdrew in my direction. Fully healed, I engaged her with all my fury landing near enough blows to end the battle. Turns out shes fast on her feet thoguh! She ran, and perhaps would have gotten away, but as she rounded the corner she met a freshly healed Rand's axe and fell upon the ground.

  We found Wolf and got him back to his feet and, for a brief moment, we celebrated the victory. I say brief, though, for this is one of many battles that will be fought in the coming days for Honor and Empire. This new threat must and WILL be squelched! Perhaps a clue that Rand discovered on Tristons body will help. He has brought it to the council in secrecy so that they may decide its meaning. I personally hope this gives us some insight as to how we get Triston to come back to his family, the Empire. Time will tell.
