Logan sat wearily in the legions HQ signing parchments, completing his last duties for the evening. A lone candle flickered as the the night wing breezed easily through his chambers. A ruffling at the window broke his concentration, lifting his head he saw a pigeon. Raising his hand the pigeon walked up onto his wrist, he removed the message afixed to its leg. His spectacles eased their way down the tattered papryus, as he gave the pigeon abit of feed and lifted him out the window and back on his way home.
"Impossible....Praetorian"! Logan shouted, as Marcas shoved through the door blasting it from its hinges.
"Olympus is our destination brother", Logan explianed as he opened the portal. "Be on your guard", they stepped through arriving in the stronghold of the empire.
"Mi'lord the rest of your praetorian are enroute" Marcas assured Logan as they began to secure the castle. Prometheus was first to arrive, soon Fing and Pride answered the call as well. As soon as Lora arrives noone enters the castle, is this understood? Not a word was spoken just a nod coming from the personal body guards of the emperor.
Logan paced around his chambers, pausing for a brief second he flopped in the stone chair that sat behind his desk. grabbing a quill he quickly scribbled down a message.
Elathiel,
It is imperative we get you finest personel near this pyramid. Mayhap it is possible to blend in with the gypsies in this area. I want to know who/what enters or leaves that site until futher notice.
Logan
Placing it on his pigeon he sent it out to find his brother in espianoge. As he turned Lora had arrived and stood before him soaked in blood, not that of her own. She looked pale almost faint as she held up a strange gem afixed to the end of a necklace. Looking closer Logan could see the features of the ancient sage.
"How could this be Lora?" Logan asked as he took the stone from her shivering hand. Her head swayed back and forth as she had no idea either. Logan began casting upon the stone..every known spell he had...each one he cast to no avail...his words of power grew louder...and louder...his spirit now empty he fell to the floor, his face in his hands.
As Logan raised from the floor, he looked towards Lora. "We must get this to the house of Arcane immediately" Logan stated. "I will see it done Mi'lord" it was Steel Darknight, calling from the entrance of the chambers, Logan words must have awoken him from his bunk. "Ahh dear friend, tis good to see thee". Logan said as he placed his hand on Steels shoulders. "I however must try one last thing before hand", Steel unsheathed his mighty sword from his side and came across the gem with a thunderous blow. The blade shattered, pieces flew across the room the three shook thier heads in disbelief. "I had to try mi'lord" Steel exclaimed......
