Subject: Acka: YORL play After a moment, Brusari composed himself. "Those were dark days for the Guardians, and for all the world. The whole land was demoralized by the horrific demise of the High King; in shock, really. Solgrai and Rishent tried to rally the people with mixed success. Then the worst came when those two had their falling out. "No one really knows how it happened, but before a year had passed, Solgrai and Rishent were working more and more separately. Before too long they were often working at cross purposes, and from there it escalated. Within five years, each had claimed the High King's throne, though neither controlled enough of the land to make such a claim meaningful. The ensuing war, the first of many, lasted twenty years. The rest, as they say, is history." Stutim was intrigued despite himself. "And what of your people?" "Many believed us destroyed, and that suited us well. We have ever been the servants of the whole land, and of the true High King. We have kept ourselves hidden -- searching, always searching for the cause of the catastrophe," Brusari paused. "And now we know." "Well?" Stutim asked. Brusari nodded, as if to himself. "First things first," he declared. "Have you forgotten the Princess?" Stutim had, he realized with shock and embarrassment. "By the gods! There's no telling what Welecta might have done to her by now!" "Time is our ally in the Dreamtime, and distance no impediment. Close your eyes." Stutim complied. "Picture the Princess. See her in your mind. Now -- WAKE UP!" Stutim jerked awake, not having realized that he was asleep. As he looked around he quickly realized that wherever he was, it was certainly not the collapsing cavern where he had gone to sleep.
