THE LADY

3

  The cold statues of the Gods lined inside of the temple. The place was located in a corner, built beside the very wall of the Palace. Here, Teron looked at the Statues, and inside, thinking about the woman and her question.

'How about you Soldier? Are you still waht you used to be?'

The question rolled in his mind. Tugging at every corner of his head. What was the woman mean? Was there something in what she asked to him? He felt someone beside him, and he didn't surprised to see the High Sorcerer.

The man was wearing a deep blue robes, embroidered in it was the depiction of long forgotten wars. In his left hand was a tall lean wooden stuff. He was looking at the Statues liked him, but something inside of Teron told him that the Sorcerer was not here for the cold statues.

"How are you, Master Teron?" He asked, his eyes didn't left the statues.

"Fine as a healty horse, High Sorcerer. How about you? "

"Just like you said. Healty as a horse." The High Sorcerer smiled at looked at him.

The two of them looked at the statues. Teron didn't knew what to said. Everything was happening so fast. He thought that when they arrived here, everything will be fine and he can rest. But here he was, just hours later and was thinking about the cryptic word of the Former Ruler of the land they conquered.

"Did you have chance, to hear  about the "vengeance of Char?" Soldier?"" High Socerer broke the silence.

Teron looked at him, trying to be interested of what will the Ancient will say. "What do you mean, High Sorcerer?"

"In our land, in the North, we have many Gods that we worshipped. The god of Love Nimer, the God of Wisdom, Tyeron, and the God of Mercy and Justice, Hal, and many more.

The gods we have are Divines that lived thousand of years ago, and their rule was absolute. Until now, their influence are still with us. But here, The gods of this land was not safe even in their position. Behind the clouds, their are fighting their secret wars.

Tumbling the weakest in their ranks. Their is times that they put aside their quarreling and put their anger below. And one of that time was when a forgotten kingdom slaughtered the former inhabitants of this land," The old man leaned closer, Teron realized that mouth the man was closed in his ears. "And here, even a peasant can be a Divine Figure. Do you understand me, Soldier?"

Teron just looked at him, mouth hanging. Another mysterious message? What was High Sorcerer tried to say? Until the realization hit him.

"The Lady ruler. "

"Yes. Here, in her land, the People worshipped her. The influence of our God can't penetrate that walls of the living god here."

"But we scaled the walls. Destroyed the city. Conquered her Land. "

Teron and the Ancient looked behind them and saw the General. He was still wearing his Armor. Even the person wearing the Amror was old, the air sorrounding him was still demanded respect. An authority.

"Our Cold Gods can't penetrate this land, but we can, and we succeeded. "

"Ah Yes General we succeed." The High Sorcerer replied. A smiled formed on his face, and then he bowed.

Teron watched as the tall person walked away. It almost looked like that the man was just gliding in the floor. " Now you know what I mean in what I said, Teron? Even the High Socerer. The foul air in this land. Even the pious one is influenced. "

Now Teron watched as the Old General walked toward one of the wood chairs in the temple, and sat. Influenced? He didn't knew the "Ancient" but his Rank among the Force of the Emperor was enough to hold the man his whole life. What can he wished for? Teron looked again at the Cold Gods lined around the temple. It felt like all of it became real, and all of them was looking at him.
