[Solo] The Nosdyn Chronology Chapter 7.

[Nosdyn]

A short while later...

Lilly stood by Tharak's side...she always would. Tharak looked at her and nodded, they all now stood before N'Jal.

N'Jal was going to speak they all went silent at that point. "There is a grave matter we must all discuss." N'Jal said. "Xyllea...now plots to move against us." She had discovered that through her divination and scrying.

Tharak looked at N'Jal. "The last time I spoke to her...she said she was going to wipe the taint off Althanas." Tharak initially thought it meant him and his father...but from what he knew of N'Jal and her followers at that point...it was likely all of them. "I think she plans to exterminate us."

N'Jal thought very carefully about what she was hearing from the boy. She looked at him. "You've now been caught up in this."

Tharak nodded. "My mother has been sick for a long time. Since what she did to father." Tharak spoke of his own initiative and accord at that point. "My mother must be stopped. She now has now become a threat to Ettermire herself." Tharak said profoundly.

Nosdyn looked at his son at that point and nodded. He knew what he was hearing was truth, but he remained silent while N'Jal and he spoke.

"Xyllea...once came here herself." N'Jal looked at Nosdyn at that point. "I do not think her intents were to beg for my champions forgiveness at all. I think her intents was to know the location of this place."

Nosdyn nodded...but still remained silent. The end-game was coming together. All pieces of the puzzle were starting to slowly fall in place.

Tharak kept his eyes on N'Jal...he was unafraid of the master. By that point he deeply admired her. "I don't think we have a lot of time." He told N'Jal at that point.

N'Jal agreed. "We must begin to prepare immediately. Tharak...Lilly was she to your acceptance?" She suddenly asked.

Tharak was a little confused...but he did not question it...he would never question the master. "I did. And thank you for the gift, N'Jal. I have much to learn from her and I am hoping she learns from me as well." Tharak noticed it at that point, Lilly quietly held his hand. He did not mind.
