The study was ruined and Vomyr turned away in disgust and started to head back to his quarters. If the hidden assailant had arrived with a specific purpose to ruin the next few weeks of his life he could not have done better. There was no way that the king would fill all these out again the valet thought bitterly. Not when it cost him so much the first time. No. That job would be left to the loyal Vomyr. Great.

The fire had died out shortly after he had marshalled a group of soldiers together to douse it with water. But whether it had been that or some alternative source of power that had smothered the silver flames he was uncertain.

He stopped to lean out of a window. Down below more people were rushing about in the aftermath of the fire. Fools he thought. It is over. Move on. Prepare for the next threat. Looking down upon the ruined civilization Vomyr shuddered. "He had something to do with this, I know it"
Actually I did not. They icy voice echoed silently inside his head. However I am most pleased with the results. This rash action has taken a far stronger effect than anything I could've concocted.
"Stay out of my mind!" he yelled whirling to try and glimpse his tormentor though he knew it was a futile hope.
Oh Vomyr, I am disapointed in you.
"Leave me alone."
Is that any way to speak to a friend?
"We were never friends. You used me and spat me out. Now go away!"
Your words wound me. A hard laugh without humour. But you are right: We were never friends. One suggestion before I go," the voice paused thoughtfully. If I were you I'd return to the king's study. You might find something of interest there.
"What's that supposed to mean? What does any of this mean?" Vomyr shouted into the empty hallways which did not heed him. The voice was gone.
