*Wild gave Haldir a sign and he smiled and went to release the prisoners. One moment later the soldiers were busy taking images of Orduag down from the walls and carrying them to a huge fireplace somewhere in the castle. Wild turned back to continue her listing.*
"Then there are some problems in the south. Because of the weather, the crops didn't grow as planned, and now 150 farmers will starve to death if nothing is done. These are human farmers, and can't help themselves with magic."

"Then why aren't the Elves doing anything? They have magic."

*Wildfeather smiled.*
"Because we have an even bigger threat in this country, mylord."
*Haldir returned and tried to hush her down.*

"And that is?"
His eyes were totally shut now.

*Wildfeathers eyes darkened. She didn't want to create panic. Humans were so wounderable.*
"Let's just say that we can deal with it... yet. But it also means that we don't have any ressources to put in elsewhere. There has to be other solutions."

*Wild shook her head.*
"The less you know, the better are your chances to stay alive. They are DANGEROUS. And can be summoned by anyone foolish enough to mention them by names."

*Wildfeather smiled and shook her head.*
"And that is why I refuse to tell you. You don't expect me to risk your lives, do you?"

"So you presume that you can keep knowledge that even I am not to be privy to? You insult us."

*Wildfeather sighed and looked at him.*
"Mylord, this is for your own safety. And ours. The threat we are protecting you against is deadly. And can be summoned if we mention it by name. But you can rest assured that our most skilled magicians will always be here."

*Wildfeather shook her head.*
"Unfortunately not, your Majesty. If it was possible, we would have warned you against it. We don't even mention it among ourselves. We just call it ..... THEM!"
*By her last word, the room darkened for a moment, and the elves in the room gasped in horror. But Wild soon got control over the situation, by raising her small hand and mumbling some words. Then she turned to the king and queen again.*
"As you see for yourselves: Even this was dangerous."
