ENURRUA

DAY TWELVE

Tablina sipped the cup of water slowly as she regained control of her trembling emotions. The pain she had felt was unlike anything she had known for some time, and it had caught her completely by surprise dropping her to the cave floor in agony as Aricia had screamed out not only physically, but with her mind as well.

Tablina? Arzoal's voice broke into her thoughts and she looked up into her flame colored eyes. I… I did as you asked Tablina. I scanned the young King. He rescued the elf female For'mya from Laxnis II. He left no one living Tablina. You have been sleeping for two days now, but if I am to understand… he ordered a bombardment that shattered the planetary crust of this world. It has rendered it uninhabitable.

"It has begun." Tablina spoke softly. "What did you find Arzoal?" Tablina asked her voice carrying some hope that things were not as bad as she thought. Arzoal's next words shattered that into pieces.
