Night falls
Day 6
... As the sun sunk towards the horizon, it became clear that this would be the last full day of travel for the delegation. As darkness came, they were so close to the Tower of Alteration that they could study its majesty in detail.
But they were busy with other trifles; the dangerous Tear of Agares was entrusted to Oyzar, the Life Archmage, and Winston Hughes, the Master of Divination, claimed the Eagle Feathers Pendant. He also wanted the Sapphire Crown, but Sepuku, another Tower Master, had also put in his claim for it, and after a short argument between the two, the item was left to be decided upon for tomorrow.
The most interesting this afternoon was the confrontation with ZPV; he had looked slightly better and less weakened this day, after the decease of the Mind Archmage, but only a few people noticed. They were crowding around him, The Spirit Archmage Hell_Hound as their leader. He - and many others - were arguing that he was a danger to them, and few bothered to hear what ZPV had to say to his defences. Those who tried couldn't because his voice was low and nerveous.
"But... I can help... Can't you see that..."
His attempts were futile. The crowd quickly dispatched of the sickly weakling, and inspected him afterwards, seeking justification for their hard judgement, but they found none:
Hoping that the loss of ZPV would not tip any subtle balance of power, they went to sleep, eager to reach the top of the tower in the morning to complete the Ritual.
It is now night!
