Chapter 54: Worry, Part 4

"Good. Now you must listen. Whatever happens, whatever it takes, do not let our foe open the Entrance. It will ultimately take the Ninth Seal and the Master Key. Alrin has gone to secure the Master Key. We are to defend the last seal and the location with our lives. The Entrance must be opened at the Altar of the Breaking in Zyke Lorn Fall. If something goes wrong, that is what you must protect. We have tried to keep the location a secret for as long as possible, to give the Paladins time to get there to secure it and set up defenses, but the unhappy truth is that it was probably never a secret at all. Be on guard at all times."

"Yes, Highness," Raffé said quietly. "You think something will go wrong."

Telmé sighed and looked away, glance sliding over the great hall as though looking at something that was no longer there. A memory? Raffé only sort of knew Telmé's history. Everyone had heard the bare bones of the story, but the truth of the matter had always been kept quiet.
