Chapter 51: Trials

PROLOGUE

"After the decimation and the fall,

When the new power rises

And the Wizard and Warrior meet,

Old and new blood will combine

With the two who are not what they seem

To save one and all."

'Eon,' the elderly seer called. 'Eon.'

'I am right here, master.'

Caraig jumped as the voice came from behind him. He had not heard his apprentice come into the room and for some reason that thought made him uneasy. He frowned and tugged his beard. What was he thinking? Eon had been with him for years, he had no reason to feel wary in his presence. He shook his head to clear his thoughts.

'Eon, they are moving closer. If all goes to plan, they will soon be on our doorstep. I would like you to call a Prophecy Council meeting on my behalf. It is time we have this out once and for all.'

'But, master, at the last meeting they asked you bring more proof that the events foretold in the prophecy were actually happening now. We have not been able to find anything new.'
