Heaven's Touch [XI]

"The Arcane Script Sphere." 

King Laggarma said to Ju Feng. He looked into the far distance and let out a soft breath. He shook his head and continued to mutter.

"It's the artifact. I knew it was calling out, trying to free itself. It wants to move on to other wizards, but its purpose was established before Mystra's limbo. Now that she's gone, I thought by keeping it I was keeping it safe, preserving a part of her. Instead the artifact hid itself from me, and I've brought doom upon Myria because of it. And there's Gallazza."

"It always comes back to that yaomo, Gallazza. What is his part in all this?"

Ju Feng asked.

"I don't know, but it could be his part in the scheme is the most dangerous of all." 

King Laggarma said to a frown from Ju Feng.

"That's suitably cryptic. Have you considered the possibility that he's also merely a distraction?"

Mith Barak waved a hand dismissively. He looked Ruen over, and his gaze softened.
