Symbar - Mother of Darkness
 |
Yet another leaf fell into his hand¸ fiery yellow with a rust-red rim. Ardil regarded it without feeling anything at all. The torrent of hate¸ sorrow and dread he suffered when he first noticed the shift had subsided¸ leaving him in a state beyond hope¸ beyond despair.
A tortured cry cut through the morning haze¸ made him turn his gaze to the south. It didn't sound like one of the newly awakened dead¸ or one of the otherworldly creatures haunting the ruined city below. A human? He knew they were coming¸ hungering for the riches of Symbar¸ too greedy to be stopped by warnings or threats. He let the leaf fall¸ nocked an arrow and started moving towards the source of the cry.
For a millennium¸ the Dark Watch had managed to keep the darkness fettered in peaceful slumber. But that was before the humans of the south came fleeing across the mountains¸ before they entered the woods hunting for more. And if Ardil's guess was correct¸ they had now reached the heart of the forest¸ where the perpetual summer had shifted to autumn¸ and the fetters were losing their strength. Where darkness had already awakened.
