The gateway opened into the Ruined Keep, and a dreadlord emerged followed by a shadow stallion. Inside this keep, the stench of rotting meat and the entertainment of juvenile trollocs killing each other for sport, there was a sudden message.
A rat, reporting to Axxye that Bena the Tower Accepted, Maximus the Shienaran Lancer, and Geom of the Queen's Guard are in the Blight. Along with this the cries of agony by Porka, a master of the Ghar'ghael clan, who now appears to be a honey-roasted ham by the looks of her wounds.
Snarling, the dreadlord mounted the stallion born from the Shadow, entering the Blight to immediately engage in combat. The witch Bena was struck with strikes of flame, and barely survived a massive fireball to the midsection. The others, Maximus and Geom, attempted to save this poor accepted who had made the mistake of entering the land of the Great Lord.
Running, as fast as she could, she traveled across the lands, Axxye in pursuit down the Dark Forest and into the Forested Borderlands, where the witch continued to run. As fast as the Dreadlord was, this particular Accepted was skilled in the REFRESH weave and running large distances.
Finally, the dreadlord approached the Shining Walls, seeing the tracks that the witch had left towards the city in her successful attempt to flee. Smirking to himself, he gathered that she had been fearful of her life with two other brave warriors around. That perhaps the fear of death was something that she had not experienced before, until this moment that encouraged the witch to travel as far as she did to safety.
Turning away from the Shining Walls, the dreadlord vanished into another gateway.
