He then turned and murmured a few words of magic,and then he was gone. He appeared almost instantly in the House of Creft the Fence. A large ogre startled by his appearance had a club in hand,ready to strike.Then he recognised Iglyarch.. "Sorry,boss ",mumbled the ogre. Iglyarch strolled into the lounge.This was where the cage had been, but now it was a comfortable living room with a fire and nice chairs. He paused to consider how to go about the first step of his plan. Iglyarch knew what She was like.She would draw Kron to the nest herself and then give him a nice "going over" as it were.The thought revolted him.And that fool Seer,who served her,even when he thought that that secret was his alone.What a weak fool! No Iglyarch knew he must get rid of the elf Silken first,as a primary goal. Quietly.Iglyarch rang a small bell. A man of about twenty-five years entered. "Danaris ",began Iglyarch,"I want you to get me the assassin Lucien over here as soon as possible." Danaris bowed and left. Iglyarch turned and waved a hand in the direction of the fire.It lit spontaneouusly with a lovely crackilng warm light.He sat by the fire and waited. After about an hour,Danaris entered the room,a slim hooded figure behind him.The figure was robed completely in black. Danaris bowed and left again. Iglyarch turned to his guest. "Lucien Dark-Elven ,I presume ",he said conversationally. "That is correct ,Iglyarch Rameshander lord." The elf almost sang the reply,yet there was cynicism underneath. "I want you to kill an elf for me,Lucien."said Iglyarch. Iglyarch had secretly hoped that this statement would have an effect, but the dark elf just nodded. "What's his name?",he asked in an almost friendly tone. "Silken." replied Iglyarch flatly. "Never heard of him.Sounds important if the crack in your voice is any measure." replied Lucien,practically sneering. Iglyarch flew into a rage at this remark. "Be caerful what you say,dark elf!You might just find my spell in your back,if you're not careful!" he said harshly.. Lucien was unmoved by this outburst. "How much?"he asked the fuming Iglyarch. "Ten thousand sovereigns." said Iglyarch regaing control. "Twenty." said Lucien without missing a beat. "You ask too much,assassin,fifteen,and that's my final offer ",replied Iglyarch coldly.He had been expecting this. "Done " replied Lucien. "He is to be killed now,for at this very moment he is in the Dragons Inn,with Kron.Take him when he emerges ", said Iglyarch in a very manner of fact tone. " Agreed ",said Lucien,"I take it he wears Silks ..." "Yes,grey Silks,and he has blonde hair ",said Iglyarch. Lucien rose to leave. "Oh,by the way ",said Iglyarch," Don't fail me or your head will be on a spike at the city gates tomorrow." He smiled. Lucien just looked at him and said,"You and who's army,mage." He left,not noticing the vicious scowl that Iglyarch gave him. Or if he did,he didn't care. -- ]]>>>Mithrandir<<<[[ ]]>>tkelly@unix2.tcd.ie<<[[ "In the uttermost West I was Olorin,In the South I am Incanus, among the elves I am Mithrandir,in the North I am Gandalf.
