Saenna's friendly TO failed, since most of the people of the local government were loyal to Sandalak, so the taselakian Tls decided to run a hostile TO in that region.

Zerool walked through the streets of Saenna thinking on the woman he met again in the region of Gwohadda. Her beautiful hair, sky-blue eyes...

"Sir Zerool Serra?" "What?" "Are you Sir Zerool Serra?" "It depends..." "I'm Lady Mischa's scribe. She told me you would say that. This letter is for you. Please burn this letter once you have read it."

Then the scribe went away leaving Zerool pretty confused in the middle of the street his realm was takeovering.

"What the hell...?"

He opened the letter and read:

"Our Knight Valens has been seriously wounded in Saenna. Identify the infiltrator and if possible take care of him."

Zerool looked carefully the letter and thought about that difficult mission. He never attacked an infil before.

Finally he went to Valens' tent and saw him surrounded by healers. The wound was pretty deep, but clean. He would recover, not tomorrow but in a week. Valens was tired and could hardly speak. Infil's golden rule is not to let know his name, but the sanadalakian infil said his name to Valens to improve his ego. He would learn his lesson.

He got to know that his name was nightroad. His appearance was a soldier, but he also had a special dagger under his cloak.

Zerool thought that someone like him would stay in some tabern talking to some still loyal sandalakians in that region, telling what he was able to do. He visited most taberns and finally in one located in the south of the region he heared the expression "serious wounding". He looked carefully to the man who pronounced it. Indeed he seemed to be an infil. Unexperienced though, since he should have left inmediatly the region.

Suddenly he noticed like he was being observed and turned around. He didn't saw nothing but the door from the street getting closed from the outside, two men drinking pretty drunk already and the barman cleaning some glasses. Nothing supicious.

Zerool just waited outside thanking his quick reaction.

Finally nightroad went outside the tabern decided to travel to Sandalak city in order to flee.

"Too late, man..." thought Zerool.

Zerool saw a lonely horse in the street and nightroad walking towards him. "Damn, he actually doesn't even hide his horse..." thought the taselakian infil.

nightroad just got up to the horse and saw Zerool just standing in front him.

"What do you want, idiot? You are in my way; get out inmediatly!" "For sure, M'Lord. I'm sorry." "Get lost!" "Just one more thing, M'Lord: Never ever say your name to your victim..."

Suddenly Zerool got his dagger, put his left hand on the horse's head, jumped and with the left hand he managed to put his dagger into the infiltrator's chest. The poison had the effect to let him in a unconcious status for a whole day. He fell from the horse and layed there in the middle of the street.

Before his body touched the ground, Zerool already left and was running to his horse placed in an abandoned stable in the ouside of Saenna.

"Let's go home, to Taselak city"
