The Chronicle of Heroes ~ Of Fiends and Shadows

[The Midgard Times]

Day 6:

Several books and newspapers lie on a table. Ostellos seemed to be still trying to catch up on what he's missed. Lord Matthew passed by, letting out a low growl as he saw the professor.

Ostellos didn't quite notice, as he called out to him to talk. "Hey, you. Where is everyone?"

"This is everyone. Since Kushiel destroyed our previous headquarters and killed off our best fighters, we can't risk losing more of our people by keeping them around all day. And even before Kushiel's reign of terror, we didn't have members dedicated enough to stay in HQ all day."

"I see... What about the 'council members'?"

"What about us?"

"I've only seen you and Rajnish. What about the others?"

"Melot's probably in his office, Ciar's probably off doing whatever professors do, and Tiamat... Well, I'm not sure. She disappears a lot."

Ostellos tilted his head, smiling strangely. "Melot's here? Take me to him."

"I... don't think I can just do that. Why do you want to go to him anyway?" Matthew asked. He didn't like the sound of the request.

"It's been so long, I just want to see him. And you will take me to him." His voice turned more sinister as he replied.
