~Chapter Two: Into the desert~

Two Days later...

Seletic sat down on his chair and looked at the map of the village. He held an energy sword in his right hand, and waited.
"The days of happines and joy are long gone. I should have known. The Anteri wanted revenge." He said, and heard knocking on the door of his home.
"Who is it? Enter!" He said.
A young man entered the room. He closed the door and came closer.
"Nestrey, what are you doing here? Are you here abut Asthar? I told you to stay on guard duty today." Seletic said, and walked to Nestrey.
"I am sorry, but... The seal hasn't been broken... the ones who created it say that it was released..."
Nestrey said, fear in his eyes. This meant someone... Someone who had access to the caves must have released the Anteri... And access can only be granted by Seletic.
"Asthar's body was never found... Do you think..." Seletic said, a tear forming in his eye.
"It isn't important right now. What has been done has been done. If Asthar did betray us, it's not his fault... Must be the Anteri tampering whit his mind. I suggest you rest, as you have been here for two days now and you haven't slept a second." Nestrey said.
Asthar wasn't easy to get along with ever since his tragedy. Seletic was the only one who could calm him down, at least partly...
"If he did release them, he would have went south into the desert... And if he did... Ah, you're right. I may need to rest... Increase the number of desert patrols and prepare for war... Tomorrow we will go into the desert." Seletic said, and retreated to his room. He knew tomorrow was the day when the short period of peace ends...
