The Mage
After sending his message to allow everyone to know of his return, he realized that he had been gone away a very long time, and that many tasks needed to be dealt with. First things first. Get a report of how things were.
"Echo! Get yourself in here and talk to me!"
"Master? Is that you?...that you...you?"
Who else would be bossing you around like this, you fool! Come tell me how things are in my kingdom!
Echo presented himself to the Master.
"Oh Master! Its horrible!...its horrible...horrible!
The Tower was beseiged in your absense by Silverfall and his followers!...Silverfall and his followers...his followers.
They have slain Nanashi...slain Nanashi...Nanashi.
They attacked Grey...attacked Grey...Grey.
They stole your Candle and the Nightblade!...candle and the Nightblade...candle and the Nightblade!
Then they tried to escape...tried to escape...escape
But your servants caught two of Silverfall's friends...caught Silverfall's friends...friends
Silverfall used Shadow Magic to escape you, Powerful One!...escape you Powerful One...Powerful One.
This is my report...my report...report.
The Mage sat very still in his throne, the only visible queue that he was actually aware of what had been said was his dark fingers gripping the thone's arm rests with his fists and his eyes were mere slivers as he glared at his servant the Echo.
This went on for a few moments, and the Echo did not dare utter one more word for fear of being extinguished entirely as an NPC from this game.
Finally, the low raspy voice of the Mage intruded on the silence his anger had created.
"Bring me the prisoners."
His voice indicated that this was to be done immediately and with no dally. Echo zoomed forth through the tower to find Thorrin and echo the command of the Mage. Actually, Echo brought the command to every room and hallway within the entire tower almost at once. It resonated with its own power and made the whole Tower vibrate with the command.
