  "Strog has left."

  Yave looked at the servant, but said nothing. She knew Strog did not want to attack Burbon on this night. He was delaying. She would not have it, no more time would be wasted. The humans would die tonight.

  "Tell Voth Stonepillar that he is now the new War Com. He will lead our forces against Burbon tonight."

  The servant hesitated. He mumbled the words, but spoke clear enough for Yave to comprehend. "The delver's sword was found uncovered in the throne room, your majesty."

  Yave erupted. "Have it covered immediately! No one is to touch it. When Strog is found, have him executed on sight. The same goes to any dwarf that touches the sword. See to it now!"

  The servant turned and ran from the queen's quarters.

  Yave snarled. "That bastard. What did he see?"

  She would never know for Strog was never found.
