After three days more, Lord Philip reached the top but they did not see anything unusual in the way, they swept the whole area and after that they marched to the mountain lying beside them, there were reports of caves in it. They reached there but there were caves. Spending a whole day there sweeping the area but nothing was found. They spent the night at the top and the next day marched back.

At grassy plains, Lord Artis received a letter with all Lords signs that Lord Artis was to return to his Lands and Throne of grassy plains will be in it's army's protection until the people of grassy plains choose their own lord which may be from the common people or from any other lord of any land. Lord Artis got furious and did not want to leave but what could he do. His army was in his own land and he did not have enough time to earn Henry's army trust. He ordered his men to pack up and call all three Generals to come to castle as the protocol required and gave the crown to them. He was to evacuate the castle the next morning as a feast must be arranged in his honor to thank him for his services to the throne in the time of need, As the protocol stated.

Brett was walking to his guest chambers, he was accompanied by his two body guards. They entered the chambers and gather around the bed. On the bed someone was lying. Brett called.

"Red.. Red...wake up"

The person in the bed moved a little and after sometime sat up. It was Red. He was shirtless and his chest had too new stitched wounds and one on his arm. He looked at Brett and said

"What?"

"It is time"

Red stood up and they started walking. Red did not remember how he came here. AL he remember was when he fell unconscious after coming out of the forest and when he woke up he was in this room. He was cared for and fed. Brett came to him and told him that he was in Lord Artis castle but did not tell him how he got here. He was just told that soon he will be told and now it was time. They crossed the hall way and came into another room. In this room there was no furniture and some torches were lit with some symbols made on floor. Red looked at the symbols and asked Brett

"Now?"

Suddenly black smoke started to rise out of the ground between the symbols. Red almost jumped out of his skin. Smoke started to take the shape of a human and became a real human person. He was a normal man but different cloths which were made of wool and face features changed then them. His skin was pale and risen cheek bones. He came forward and shook hands with Brett. Then he looked at Red and raised his hand, Red shook his hand and then they all walked out. Red was still confused on what he just saw. They all reached the study and sat on the chairs around the table. Brett looked at Red and said

"Red I like you to meet our dear friend Altan"

Red looked at him and he smiled. Brett said again

"Altan, this is Red. One of the most skilled warrior in all the lands"

Altan spoke for the first time.

"Did you tell him everything?"

Brett: NO, I was waiting for you.

Altan: As you can see, I am not from your lands, I am a representative of our great king Adlard.

We live in the Cold desert of Alois beyond the clay land.

Red looked at Brett and he said

"Wastelands, he calls them clay land"

Altan: Our king comes from a great and long line of kings, his ancestors were the kings before him and use to command the desert of Alois. Alois is a place which is unique, This desert have forests in it with streams and mineral ores. Our ancestors crossed the clay lands to your lands to seek riches but one time your people fought them and derived them from your land long ago, they crossed the clay land and found nothing, just more desert but this desert was better than clay lands and they started to live there.
