Luxa and I were walking for a little while when we finally arrived at the council's room. There were 5 stone seats, each holding a member of the Regalian council, and a long stone table full of scrolls and parchment. One seat was empty.
"Overlander," a council member says, "We have much to discuss. Take a seat," He points to a chair across from their large table. I sit on the stone chair, "Queen Luxa, may you take a seat," He motions to a chair next to the long table.
"Overlander. Have you heard of the Nameless?" Another council member asks
"Luxa mentioned them once. I don't know who or what they are,"
"They follow the Bane,"
"The Bane? He's dead. I killed him,"
"We don't know much about them but, we do know they are a group of gnawers who follow the bane," The council member says, "They sent us this letter upon your arrival," He walks forward holding a parchment, "Gnawers can't write so they must have a human on their side or humans," He hands me the parchment. I open it.
"How did they know I was here in Regalia?" He holds out his hand. I give him the parchment."We think that they have spies in Regalia," He says.
"Now, why do they want me?"
"You killed the Bane," Luxa says, "They probably want to kill you. But, I won't let that happen,"
"But, if I am not at the maze in three days, Regalia will fall,"
"We have extra guards on the wall," she says. She looks bored, "Well, Gregor and I better get going now. He needs training," She gets up and grabs my arm. We walk out of the door.
We walk for a little. She sighs and slumps a little.
"I hate council meetings. They are so boring. I don't know why they insisted on you being there,"
"Who knows,"
"Come,"
I follow her into a part of the castle I have never been in before. The stone walls were rougher than in the main part of the castle.
"Welcome to the Library,"
