Doan:  “A week has passed since we encountered…that. We’ve managed to take care of it, mostly. We’re in the cleanup phase now.”

Valt:  “The…cleanup phase?” Something had attacked unexpectedly. Reflecting upon it, Valt did have a guess as to what it may have been. All the omens lined up, after all. The mysterious, unexplained deaths one after another in the east. Oscar suspected that the very first casualty was the mage who fell to his death at Minnedart. However, something had occurred before that in the vicinity of the fortress—the Ito riders’ extensive raiding and subsequent capture. It probably got released in the aftermath of all that. Something dwelled in a place sacred to the Ito. Valt had read about it in one of his ancestors’ journals. It had to be the exact same thing that the ancient spirit sorcerers fled Tayiri to escape. The stone birds were created to patrol for it. “So it was…Irityrdia.” The thing that made mages lose their minds, sent their magic running haywire, and wrecked their spirits and life force. A force of nature also known by the names World-Splitting Blade and Sleeping Paleface. Irityrdia—Tayiri’s one god—was the true form of what was sealed away inside Tris. Long ago, a mage’s body was used to seal it off when it caused havoc. Someone who knew of this must have placed Irityrdia within Tris.

Doan:  “You know what this is? We finally managed to pinpoint it just yesterday after investigating the Ito ruins. I read about it a long time ago, although I’d forgotten. I guess that means everyone who died in the east had magic.”

Valt:  “Yeah. Some of them hadn’t ever undergone training to control their power, so they didn’t register as having any when we investigated. Everyone who died either had magic or was otherwise affected by magic going haywire.” According to the legends, the presence of Irityrdia rendered mages insane in both mind and body, a danger to themselves and others. Irityrdia must have awakened in the aftermath of the battle with the Ito, slowly made its way toward the castle city, leaving a trail of death and destruction in its wake…and gotten captured along the way.

Doan:  Doan let out a heavy sigh. "It looks like it was Savas’s intention to bring Irityrdia into the city. Disguising himself and his group as a merchant caravan and making sure his faulty papers meant the castle didn’t have advance notice of his visit—all of it was a trick to lure the queen out.”

Valt:  “I don’t…think Savas was the one behind this. Ordinary people wouldn’t know about Irityrdia or be able to seal it inside a mage’s body. He must have been used as a puppet, since mages can’t get close to Irityrdia. One of Leonora’s underlings or someone else must be responsible.” Fortunately, even a plot like this hadn’t destroyed Farsas. The situation had been resolved in only a week.
