Devaguea, lord of the Stolen lands, and planned Emperor of the River Kingdoms, let out a sigh of pure RELIEF. "Sydon, go and let the mages know we won't need most of them. Just Allison and Tina. And tell Tina to bring all her research, I want to know how close we got to the truth."<br/><br/>He lay down, slowly stretching out and just feeling sudden much lighter. Even if she couldn't tell us anything about... wait. He suddenly tensed back up, his head turning slowly to the Nereid, as he caught another clue she had just dropped. "Sydon, wait."<br/><br/>The dragon turned his attention back to the nereid, and tilted his head slightly. "I am sorry, Evindra, but who can't you disobey? Which him?"<br/><br/>If she hesitated, he brought his wings forward, blocking any one from seeing what was happening between them, and used a minor image spell to create the image of a lantern adorned with a large, ornate crown. When she gave a tiny, barely noticeable and terrified nod, he shattered the image, and sent Sydon off to cancel the call for mages. "No mages needed. We will be searching for the Magic Blade as we can as soon as the war is over. I suspect it was found by someone from Pitax, so taking the capital will make searching for it easier. Lets see about getting the second army up and into the field, so we can start removing some of Pitax's units from the war."
