Chapter 102: Battle

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.

The key is the Ember Casket, to trap and calm the chaos,

Or send it beyond to save one and all."

The petite woman stumbled out of the cave and fell face first onto hot sand. She struggled to stand, too exhausted to move any further. Shadows sheltered her body from the mid-afternoon sun as her two companions joined her.

'I see there is a new Seer in Sanctuary,' a friendly voice congratulated her, and she smiled wearily at the sound.

'What did you learn?' a more demanding voice asked. 'Did you find out more about the prophecy? Did they tell you how to defeat the god?'

Gentle hands helped her sit, and cupped her fingers around a mug of water. She downed the cold liquid, and only after she quenched her thirst, did she answer the question.
