               They arrived to Murghal, earlier than anticipated actually. When they arrived they were quickly met by two elder men, who greeted Álgerus and welcomed the duo to Murghal. The elder men started walking to a stone wall.... Before quickly forcing Aliana and Mirghreel to look away while blindfolded. He made a lever appear from under a rock. When he pulled it, the stone wall started revealed a glowing magic seal before fading away, opening the path to the Archives. The men took Álgerus robes and put them away as Álgerus took their blindfolds off when they were inside. When they were a bit far from the entrance, the stone wall glowed again and got solid once more.... In that moment, I also sneaked inside!

Meanwhile in Dawnfang....

              The man in the coat was anxious, angry... He started asking if the army was ready, he couldn't see Armen again to the face, he was too embarrassed and angry at him, almost for no reason whatsoever.... But Armen didn't mind, he knew the man was scared. "Armen" he said.... "How's the force holding up?" He didn't even faced Armen when he asked this.... Looking everywhere in panic....

-"What force?" Said a soldier in the small room.

-"This is why we work alone, imbecile." Told the man to the soldier.

               The small room, a makeshift war room had a map of the whole continent of Hardelia over a table with a broken dark green curtain over it. The map was not so accurate as it ad islands of the Dream Archipelago who were still not swallowed by the Greka Flood, and Atuliana was not hit by the Urgh Atu meteor.... The map was a few Eras old....

-"Sorry sir...." Said the soldier.

-"Sir?" Said another shadowy figure.... "He's not even a true Demon Lord."

The man panicked, this voice was not to be mistaken, but he was not Asleroth.... He was someone else.... A Demon Lord.
