"We have regained control of the Thrahks Zidaoz," Lohken said. "Your army is still in some kind of panic, and they are scattered about. It will take some time to regroup."

  "They lack faith. I will need to show them something to make them believe again. We must not let the nonbelievers fool them with their false gods. What we saw today was nothing but a trick used to shake the will of our people. I must show them that what they saw was not really a god."

  "I know that what we saw was not a god, and yet the man somehow used the powers of a god. I could feel it in the air."

  "No, it is just a trick," Zidaoz snapped. "How did you fail with the Thrahks?"

  "We did not fail, Zidaoz. The Thrahks did exactly as we trained them to do; they followed orders from the Dirujen. Unfortunately one of our little rebels, Vohlhemoneer, found his way to the battle and ruined our plans. I have already sent some of my men to find him. We have a special punishment planned for him."

  "I do not want your problems in addition to my own. Find him and get rid of him. I do not want any more excuses. The spread of the word of Rohni must not be slowed or stopped. All mankind must bow to him!"

  "Of course Zidaoz. Have you contacted the Medoran and told him what happened in battle today?"

  "No, by now he knows that I have altered the plan. He will be enraged."
