The night clung to the parapet of the rented tower Adonai sat in, the dark held away but by one small candle, its light casting shadows on the rough hewn walls and dancing over the cracks and crevices of the old stone.
His mind was a turmoil of thought, promises and pledges of friendship and loyalty coursing through his mind as he tried desperately to out think the conclusion that was becoming evident in his mind.
Memories of the past welled up in his mind.....his friend the Warlord Dalamar, victorious over the Despot Athlstan, freeing once more the rings from the control of one man and making the council of barons again a thing of competition where the true cream would rise to the top.
But now those memories were confused.......Dalamar's face was melding with Ath's, the crown on both their heads...and Adonai scowled to himself and beat a hand upon the desk.
" No...." He said to himself under his breath...his mind still betraying him and showing him still more scenes that did not any longer jibe with what he believed as a Warlord of this sport.
" NO!!!!!! " Adonai screamed......bolting to his feet and slamming the desk out from in front of him with a kick of his mighty foot. His distaste for what his mind was telling him almost tangent as a taste in his mouth.
He sat once more....his eyes playing across the destruction of his desk and his thoughts those of rebellion.
"Damn you......damn you. " Adonai cursed....slamming a fist into the wall. "How could you do this??!? "
