Chapter 3

Part Two : Appointment with Destiny

Lorraine's Explanation

Lorraine takes a deep breathe to compose herself. How to explain- what words cannot convey of matters of the heart. "Harvey there are times when the game of love, goes askew. I went to Gettysburg for a business meeting regarding the expansion of our import-export clothing lines. Jacque and I had a terrible rile about the over seas operations. " A flash of anger comes across her face. "I was horribly shocked when I received a call from one of our secret security firm whom oversees our operations in China and how the workers are so abused. "

Harvey pulls out a file from his satchel. " You mean this one! " He hands it to Lorraine. " Yes, I received the report myself. I have my own operatives in those factorys as well. "

Lorraine is flabbergasted. "I feel so insulted! You underhanded Jacque and I. What! You don't trust us. We all grew up together. " She slaps Harvey hard twice. Once on each cheek.

Harvey doesn't even flinch. "You are right to be upset. But, I did not rise to prominence, like you two. Let's just say it was a more diverse than what society norms deem righteous. " He smiles as feels the red marks left by Lorraine's hand. Lorraine I respect you, only you could have done that slap. Any other person, well... " His brow furrows, a conflict of emotions rage in him. Alas even though he's a scoundrel there still a bit of the old torch he carries for her in his red keep where he holds love hostage.

The damsel caught in this dilemma replies, " You can be charming, but that dark side of yours scares me. Even Jacque mentioned it to me. I know you had my husband trailed for quite some time. You are capable of anything. " Lorraine is right in front of Harvey. He hadn't realized she had walked him backwards to the rail Jacque's friend had no where to move.

"Very smooth Lorraine you've pinned to the rail. Yes, I had your hubby tracked. But no harm came to him. Come on, give some credit. I do care about... " Harvey suddenly becomes silent.

Lorraine's woman's intuition is going off. "You still love me. Oh, my God. I resoundingly told you we could be only friends, not lovers. Now see you are carrying the lit candle for me. "

"For once Lorraine you hunch is off. I do care about you as a sister, not a lover. I told you many years ago at our High School Promise that I loved you, truly and deeply. Except, love is two way reciprocal action. As we danced the last song for the night. I in my naive immaturity declared my love. The silence and the look into your soul. It wasn't to be so. Yet, I did not need a verbal reply. You body language said to me nay! "

Circle of Doorways

The of the triology of Shaman’s Enigma

Prologue

The air is filled with smoke, the assault on Troylois has begun. Even though, Sinatli is on the opposite side of the island, he can see smoke rising from the city. He orders the man next to him, Signal the fleet. Have them commence their attack on the this side of the island." They are on the fort his inferno beasts built for him on what was thought as a untenable beach landing.

“As you wish Lord,” replies the man. He waves it frantically back and forth. The scarlet red banner has the new insignia of Xandoran; a question mark with an all seeing eye, The Black Dragon Sword lays atop of it. They are encased in two circle full of runes. strange glyphs, only the shaman know what they mean. Strong men load the catapults, and light the balls which instantly catch fire.

Flaming balls commence to fly- they will do the job just fine. The cliffs and the pathways that lead to Troylois will be in front of the advancing army. The defenders of Troylois on this side of the island have burrows in order to avoid being burned alive on the surface

“Now soldier; order that the trumpets be blown, so that the gates can be opened and the troops that are assembled begin their march,” said Sinatli. He scans the horizon in front of him not a single defender is present to give his army combat. On one hand this is great, on the other it is a cause for concern.

The soldier then turns to his left and waves the banner once again. The trumpets and drums begin their raucous roar and then the mage sees the heavy wooden doors open and the first rank of foot soldiers begin to flood out of the gate. This parade takes about half an hour to complete after the foot soldiers and archers, plus the Calvary are out of the keep finally.

The former mage of Romelitz climbs down the wide steps and will join all of his assembled Generals behind the lines and will see the progress of the battle as it develops from the first scouting reports filtering back from the messengers arriving on horseback from the other side of the island it is a massive assault that the defenders of Troylois were not expecting.

Though they are ferociously defending their island down to the last man; the fireballs from the surrounding ships are devastating their front lines of defense. Even with aid of the demi-gods Kaydolf and Azreal they are falling back to their citadel.

There are reports of Kaydolf, the Avian Lord of the Sky has transformed himself into a bird that is raining down thunder from the skies, and that he is ravaging the ships that surround that part of the island. Too little, too late the ships are too many for him to cover them all. Still the disembarkation of the troops continue and even though Azreal is killing them as fast they appear on the plain of Troylois they are showering him with so many arrows that even the black wolfe for once is being forced back to take cover.

The only disturbing fact for Sinatli is that there is no mention of Romont whereabouts at this time. Where is he at? He itches to release his horde of demons against these humans, but Xandoran has given strict orders not for him to release them on the penalty of death.

As the first wave of foot soldiers make their way up the paths, they encounter no resistance it seems that the fire balls have done their intended job. All drums and trumpets are ordered to be silenced. The stillness of the area is disturbing to the soldiers.
