Five years have passed since Emeth Light Spinner cast the Spell of Obtainment and was presumed dead. But little does the world know that she survived, and lives on as the dark sorceress Shadow Weaver. As the second-in-command of the Horde, she has b...

That night, Micah levitated, jumping between the bulbous spires of Bright Moon Palace until he reached a balcony at the very top of the enormous structure. Queen Angella stood on the balcony as Micah grabbed hold, climbing over and dropping the levitation spell. Out of breath, he bowed before her, grinning. "Your Majesty."
Angella bent down slightly and kissed him on the cheek. "Hello, Micah," she said softly. "How did this evening go?"
"Terribly," he said, smile enduring. "We met a strange lady typing on a holo-pad, but I didn't have enough evidence to investigate her."
His fianceé smoothed her white skirts, frowning slightly. "I see. And what was her name?"
"I don't know," Micah said, leaning back over the balcony slightly. He'd grown used to heights since perfecting his skills with levitation, and now the ground below didn't seem so overwhelming. "She was mute. Nell knows how to talk to nobles better than me – we handled it fine."
"Did you access the holo-pad, by chance?"
Micah nodded. "She was typing a report explaining what a party was. I don't know why."
Angella's eyes darkened at this news, and she brought a gloved hand to her chin. "That is strange. Who was she explaining it to?"
"Some sort of 'lord,'" Micah sighed. "It was the strangest thing."
"Not if her leader came from another world...which I'm certain Hordak did," Angella said, sighing. "Stars, now we have a dark sorceress to deal with on top of everything else."
Micah crossed his arms, forcing himself not to dwell on recent battles. In the past month alone, the Horde attacked many villages on the edge of the Whispering Woods – Thaymor, Lorayna, Adatha...
Illuras had undergone an attack seven years ago; Micah had been part of the rebellion force, along with Light Spinner. But the lack of attack – or even scouting – in the golden city worried him. What was the Horde planning?
"I'll stop her," Micah said. "I have to."
Angella nodded. "But don't work yourself too hard, Micah...you have two lives. The general, and the man. Do not forget the latter, my love."
