Leah’s mind reeled. Everyone knew Simon’s father had been killed, but by Travelers? Travelers from Enosh, no less? Did Simon even know the truth?
Her father raised the blood-red spear, pointing it at Leah to get her attention. “Is this young dragon in Enosh as well?” Zakareth asked.
“No. He stayed behind after Bel Calem. To...” she hesitated, but she couldn’t stop now. “To give us time to escape.” Leah glanced at Indirial, to see how he took the news that Simon was missing and probably dead. He stared off into space, saying nothing, clearly lost in thought. Maybe he hadn’t heard her.
Zakareth stared at her again, and she wondered—not for the first time—if his red eye let him see into her mind.
“Here is your task,” her father said at last. “Stay in Enosh. Keep track of the Elysian Traveler. Report to me everything he does, everyone of significance in his life. At the same time, watch the city. Judge their strength. As of this moment, though they realize it or not, we are at war.”
Zakareth lifted his eyes, staring above Leah, beyond her.
“They have gone too far. This time we will bring everything against the walls of Enosh. We will gather the Overlords, throw wide the Vaults of Ragnarus. We must use every weapon in our possession to grind that city to dust.
“For if we fail,” the King said, “the world will burn.”
