Lucan gave out his orders and made his arrangements. An hour later he entered the shadow tunnel with Silent and Alasan Swift. They were headed to Avalon. Since the tunnel had been enhanced so many times, they were able to arrive in minutes.

The city was quiet. The people were out and moving around but the atmosphere was dark. Even if the citizen hadn't been informed of what was happening, they weren't stupid. They knew something was wrong.

People talking on the street, quietly whispered to each other and hurried about their business.

Lucan, Silent and Alasan entered the royal estate. When the guards saw them approach, they hurriedly went to get Grand Magister Faylen.

Twenty minutes later, they sat with Grand Magister Faylen, Nicholas, and the few government leaders who didn't flee already.

"Lord Quilldrake, I hope you have brought us good news." Faylen said.

"I am willing to help, but you must understand my position."
