Chapter 73: Chapter 73: A Way Out - Part I

'...and then Jacques' informant revealed that the Empire is building weapons for war. Weapons that will render Magic useless and obsolete.'

"...maybe the so-called gunpowder?" Shaneh asked as she sat on the throne at Drahyr Palace, telepathically communicating with Jorael.

'You already know?!' Jorael asked a little shocked.

"My husband told me about it.

An invention and discovery that changed your world forever, for the worse.

'Makes sense.

...and that's it.

Now you know what happened to your spy." Jorael thought, anxious to end the communication.

"Ara ara... if you were here, I would be more than happy to show you my due gratitude..." Shaneh teased.

'Stop saying that...

We need to find out who the double agent is." Jorael thought.
