Garrol led them straight up to the gates.They opened at their approach and slammed shut behind them.They moved quickly through the courtyard and into the main structure of what once must have been the castle of the local nobility.Inside, the halls of the keep were lined with countless more soldiers standing at attention, all of them clad in the colors of Calimshan.They saluted as Garrol passed, but he did not bother to return the gesture.Garrol marched quickly through the castle corridors— Jaheira's long legs were barely able to keep up, and Imoen was forced to actually break into a run several times to avoid being trampled by the escort of soldiers marching behind them.With their rapid pace it didn't take long until they reached the main audience chamber.A number of armed Calimshan soldiers were positioned strategically around the large open room, as well as nearly a dozen people dressed in civilian clothes.Seated on the throne at the far end of the room was the grubbiest, grimiest, hairiest man Jaheira had ever seen.His face was hidden beneath a heavy, unkempt black beard and long strands of tangled hair hung down from his bangs to half cover his eyes.His clothes were so filthy and stained it took the half-elf a second to realize the man was clad in the same uniform as Garrol and the rest of the Calimshan soldiers."General Gromnir," Garrol addressed the wild looking figure, "these people are here to see Melissan.""Hah!"the general barked in reply, tilting his head to the side and fixing his cock-eyed stare on Sarevok."Gromnir knows only Bhaalspawn seek Melissan!Hah-Hah!More Bhaalspawn gathered to die!Great fun!Hah!""Mielikki preserve us," Jaheira whispered, hoping only Abdel could hear her."He's mad."* * * * *Abdel agreed with his lover's whispered assessment of their host.There was definitely something unbalanced in the way Gromnir spoke and something unnerving about the gleam in his eye peering out from behind the long, greasy strands of hair that hung down over his forehead.But Abdel was determined not to overreact.

Hah!Gromnir's death, maybe?"Sarevok spoke before Abdel could come up with a response that wouldn't agitate their already disturbed host."I did not come to kill you, Gromnir.I could have done that long ago."The wild general's head snapped back with the shock of recognition, his tangled locks flipping up from his eyes that were wide with surprise."Gromnir knows you!Hah!Gromnir heard Sarevok was dead!Hah-Hah!"Jaheira made no attempt to hide the implied accusation in her voice."Sarevok, you know this madman?""Sarevok knows Gromnir," the general replied, "and Gromnir knows Sarevok.Take them to the prisons!"From the corner of his eye Abdel saw his companions preparing for battle.Imoen's hand was slipping down to the dagger she kept in her belt, Jaheira's seemingly casual hold on her staff tightened to a fighting grip, and even Sarevok's armored form seemed to coil in anticipation, but a quick shake of Abdel's head caused them all to relax their stances.The guards approached cautiously and disarmed them.Abdel tried to give a reassuring look in response to the questioning glares from his female companions.He had escaped many prisons in his time, and he was willing to bet that they would find some way to escape this one as well.Abdel would rather take his chances with bars and a cell than have to endure another battle within himself against the Bhaal fire that could possess his soul and transform him into the demonic, four-armed Ravager.Chapter EightThere were at least a dozen cells in the dungeon, all empty except for the four now occupied by Abdel and his companions.Even the guards left them once they were secure.

"I am assuming you have a plan, Abdel," Jaheira said once the guards were gone."Yeah, big brother," Imoen chimed in."What's going on?I've never known you to shy away from a fight."Abdel hesitated before answering.He didn't want to explain the motives behind his actions to the only two people he cared about in the world.He didn't want to tell them that if he drew his sword in anger he might not sheath it again until they were both reduced to savaged, bloody corpses.He didn't want them to know he was afraid of the monster inside himself.But Imoen and Jaheira had trusted him.He couldn't just refuse to answer them.As much as he hated to do it, Abdel was afraid he would have to lie to his sister and his lover.Abdel wasn't a very good liar, even at the best of times.Fortunately, he never got the chance to speak."Perhaps your large friend merely has learned that there are other solutions besides resorting to violence," a female voice said as a tall, slender figure descended the stairs to the dungeon and emerged from the shadows.The woman who spoke was wearing a mesh shirt of fine steel links, and a spiked mace hung from her belt.She wore silver gauntlets and knee-high silver boots.Her cloth sleeves and leggings were black.A high, soft collar extended from beneath her armor right up the line of her jaw.Every inch of her skin was covered by either armor or the dark, form fitting cloth except for her face.There her skin was the white of gleaming marble, a striking contrast to her coal black eyes, her deep red lips and the long raven tresses that hung down well past her shoulders."Melissan," Sarevok said by way of greeting.The woman nodded in the armored man's direction."Sarevok.I thought you were dead.""I was," Sarevok replied simply.

"I should have heeded your warnings.I have been given a second chance."Melissan turned her intense gaze in Abdel's direction."And you can be none other than Abdel Adrian, Gorion's ward.""How do you know Abdel?"Jaheira demanded, "how do you know Sarevok?""I knew Sarevok long ago," Melissan answered, though she did not pull her eyes away from Abdel, "before his mad efforts to start a war between Nashkel and Baldur's Gate."As for Abdel," she continued, "his name is well known to any who have taken an interest in the Lord of Murder's children, as is his description.You cannot easily hide yourself in the crowd, Abdel.""No," Abdel replied sheepishly."I stick out like a sore thumb."Abdel had doubted Sarevok's promises.He was reluctant to believe his half brother could really bring him to someone who could help him escape the taint of his immortal father.But Melissan's confident, steady gaze both unnerved and excited him.Her black eyes pierced his very soul, and he was certain she could see the evil power that dwelt within him.However, she did not recoil as most others would if they glimpsed the unholy taint of Bhaal he kept caged.Instead, Melissan seemed to acknowledge and accept his monstrous nature—as if she had known it would be there all along."I have been told you can help me," Abdel said, enraptured by Melissan's unflinching eyes."Sarevok says you can help me to rid myself of Bhaal's unholy taint.""Before we delve into my lover's heritage," the druid said pointedly, "shouldn't we think of a way to escape these cells?

""That horrible, hairy thing is a Bhaalspawn?"Imoen exclaimed in disbelief."The Lord of Murder's children come in many forms."Melissan arched her eyebrows and gave Imoen the same piercing stare she had earlier fixed on Abdel."As I am sure you well know, my young lady."It is only because of his immortal blood that Gromnir is here, under siege in Saradush.I would never have brought him and his loyal Calimshan troops to Tethyr if I did not feel he had something personal invested in the fate of the Bhaalspawn."Melissan probably would have said more, but the sound of Jaheira clearing her throat cut her words short.Abdel couldn't help but smile at the druid's none-too-subtle reminder."Of course this can wait until you are out of your cages," the tall woman in black assured them."I am certain General Gromnir will release you all, once I have spoken to him."Jaheira disliked the woman.There was something in the way she looked at Abdel, a hunger in her gaze.Jaheira didn't like any woman looking at Abdel like that—no one but herself.She also didn't like the way Abdel seemed to hang on her every word, the way a young child with a crush would focus too intently on a beautiful teacher.Much to Jaheira's surprise, Melissan was as good as her word and returned less than five minutes later with a ring of keys."I'm sure there is much more you would like to ask me, Abdel.We can resume our conversation as soon as I have released you."Almost as an afterthought, Melissan added, "And your companions, of course."The druid bit her lip to keep from speaking harshly.She knew she was being foolish, feeling threatened by this woman.

Abdel loved her.He would even give his life for her.But Melissan was undeniably beautiful.She could reveal secrets about Abdel's Bhaal blood that Jaheira could not.The half-elf knew Abdel had fallen for just such a woman before, the vampire Bodhi.Jaheira had forgiven her lover for his transgression.She knew well enough the enchanting magics vampires could wield over the living, and she couldn't believe Abdel would willingly betray her under normal circumstances.Yet she couldn't quell the whispers of doubt, the ones that said Abdel was consumed with the taint of Bhaal and would do anything to rid himself of his father's legacy.Anything.Melissan opened Abdel's cell first, then Sarevok's.She had just unlocked the door of Jaheira's cell when the sound of three sharp blasts of a horn echoed off the walls of the dungeon."A breach in the wall!"Melissan exclaimed."The invaders have broken through.Three blasts means the south wall."The woman spun on her heel and ran for the stairs, her long hair fanning out behind her as she raced back toward the dungeon exit.In her rush, she left the key hanging in the still unopened lock of Jaheira's cell."We have to reinforce the men on the wall and seal the breach or Saradush will be overrun!"Melissan called over her shoulder as she leaped up the stairs two steps at a time.Jaheira had to admit, reluctantly, that the tall woman moved with amazing speed and grace.Sarevok rushed to follow her, and Abdel took a half step before turning to face Jaheira and Imoen."Go," Jaheira urged, moving toward the key dangling from the lock of her cell."I will open our cells, and Imoen and I will come join the battle in mere moments."Abdel must not have heard her, because he raced over to her cell.

"Go, my love," she said again, "we will be right behind you!"To prove to Abdel he had no need to worry about her safety, Jaheira reached through the bars and put her hand on the key even as Abdel arrived at her cell.The big man reached his own hand through the bars and placed his open palm squarely on the center of her chest and shoved.Jaheira stumbled back several steps before tumbling to the ground."Abdel!"she cried out, more shocked than hurt.The big man didn't respond, but he grabbed the key in his massive fist.The muscles of his forearm flexed and he snapped the metal key off in the lock, trapping Jaheira in the cage.The druid scrambled to her feet and rushed toward him, reaching out with a free hand through the bars as Abdel hopped back just out of her range."Abdel, what are you doing?"she demanded, even as Imoen screamed the same question from the adjacent cage.He turned away before she could read the expression in his eyes."I'm sorry," was all he said before he vanished up the stairs, leaving both Jaheira and Imoen trapped in their respective cells.* * * * *The horror and betrayal he had seen in Jaheira's eyes twisted like a blade in Abdel's heart.If there had been time he would have explained his actions to her and Imoen.Abdel had been involved in many sieges in his days as a mercenary.He knew all too well the bloody battle that was even now raging atop the battlements of Saradush as the defenders strove to hurl the invaders from their foothold.Abdel knew the only way Jaheira and Imoen would be safe should he lose control of his own murderous fury was if they were nowhere near the violence.It took less than a minute for Abdel to find his way from the top of the dungeon stairs to the main gates of the castle.Sarevok and Melissan had already disappeared down the streets of Saradush, rushing to aid the soldiers on the wall.Abdel had no trouble following the shouts and cries of those rushing to join the battle.He came around a corner and found himself directly beneath the melee.Glancing up, he saw that dozens of invaders had managed to scale the wall, overwhelming the Saradush and Calimshan troops positioned atop the battlements.With each passing second, more invaders climbed up the ladders to join their fellows and drive the desperate defenders even farther back.Abdel knew reinforcements for his side would be unlikely, as the men along the other walls would be desperately defending their own positions against a similar rush of ladder carrying attackers.There had been no more alarms raised, so it seemed as if the only breach was on the south wall.If the Saradush forces could reclaim the battlement, the advance could be halted—for now.Abdel rushed along the base of the wall, heading for the open door at the foot of the nearest tower, one of many lining the fortifications of the town.He raced up the circular staircase and burst onto the battlement.Melissan and Sarevok were already there, joining the half dozen defenders still standing against the score of enemy soldiers.

The tall woman swung her mace from side to side with both hands, smashing aside the sword of her foe with one swipe, then quickly reversing the direction of her weapon to bring its spiked head crashing down on her opponent's skull, piercing the iron helm.By the time the dying man had collapsed into the pool of blood gushing from his mangled temple, Melissan had already moved on.It was then Abdel realized he was charging headlong into the battle unarmed.He had let Gromnir's soldiers take his sword away when they escorted him to the prison.Without breaking stride Abdel dropped to the ground, letting his momentum carry him into a tumbling summersault.He scooped up a sword from one of the many fallen Saradush defenders as he rolled by and popped up to his feet just in time to block the incoming blade of a heavy battle axe.Abdel never slowed, but let his charge carry him crashing into the much smaller soldier attacking him.The man was driven back by Abdel's massive body, dropping his axe and pinwheeling his arms to keep his balance as he stumbled toward the edge of the wall.Abdel took a step back and brought a boot up into his foe's chest, then thrust with his leg.The screaming man tumbled backward over the parapet to the ground below.Beside him Abdel saw Sarevok shredding a path of destruction through their enemies.Like Abdel, the armored man had entered the battle without a sword, but unlike his half brother, Sarevok hadn't bothered to pick up a weapon.Sarevok's mailed fists crushed the skulls and smashed the faces of his enemies into pulp.The blows of his attackers rained down harmlessly on the reinforced iron plates of his mailed suit.Sarevok struck back with the spikes protruding from his elbows or slashed out with the razor-sharp blades forged on the forearms of his black armor, carving through metal, flesh, and bone indiscriminately.Soldiers fortunate enough to avoid Sarevok's deadly arms were left crippled and dying on the ground, their lower extremities savaged as Sarevok lashed out with a bladed shin to hack open an enemy's leg.The sight of Sarevok carving a swath of gruesome, visceral death through the battle evoked an instant response in Abdel's own soul.The fury of Bhaal answered Sarevok's wordless invitation, and Abdel began to hack down his opponents like wheat at the threshing.Even a division of elite mercenaries could not have stood before Abdel's ruthless assault, but these men were fodder—the expendable first wave of the attack.Their equipment was substandard, their technique and training nonexistent.Abdel disdainfully slapped away their feeble attempts to parry his lethal stabs, easily sidestepped the clumsy thrusts and wildly off-balance swings of his foes.Those foolish enough to stand in his way were disemboweled, their guts ripped from their torsos by Abdel's flashing blade.Those wise enough to turn and run were chopped down from behind and left dying in the ravaging sellsword's wake.Through the slaughter Abdel felt the hungry flames inside himself escalating, fuelled by the steady spray of hot blood that coated his hands and face.The world was tinged in crimson, his vision colored by Bhaal's mounting wrath.The fire became an inferno, until Abdel was certain his victims could feel its heat emanating from his skin even as they felt the cold steel of his blade.But this time it didn't consume Abdel.Even in the midst of the carnage, the sellsword never lost control.

He never lost himself.Through sheer force of will he was able to subdue the demon within and keep the Ravager at bay.His assault had cleared a path to the nearest of the ladders the invaders had used to scale the wall, and Abdel still had sense enough to kick it down, so that it tumbled back and away from the wall.Three quick slashes of his sword and three corpses later he was at the second ladder.It, too, toppled back to the ground, taking several raiders with it.The other two ladders had already been knocked down, one by Sarevok and one by Melissan.Abdel spun back to face the melee and saw the only men still standing were all wearing either the colors of Saradush or Calimshan.The searing bloodlust in his soul flared, urging him to unleash his fury on his allies.He felt his skin tingle and itch, the first signs of the hideous transformation he had struggled to avoid at all costs.Abdel smothered the internal blaze and let his sword clatter to the ground, snuffing out the dark desires of his father's tainted blood as easily as he would crush a bug beneath his boot.The transformation ended before it even began.There wasn't time for the big sellsword to revel in his victory or even to wonder why the bloodlust of Bhaal's fury had been so easily quelled this time.One of the surviving members of the Saradush troops scooped up a large brass horn from a fallen comrade, while the others began to pick through the heap of bodies searching for survivors.The man with the horn blew three long, wavering blasts to alert the other defenders that the south wall was again secure.A series of answering blasts echoed over the besieged town.Melissan was now standing beside Abdel, though the big man hadn't noticed her approach."The breach is sealed," she said, panting slightly from the exertion of the battle as she explained the meaning of the signals that had rung out over the rooftops of Saradush."The other walls are secure, and the attackers have retreated.For now."There were many questions Abdel wanted to ask of this woman, many answers he needed.But when he opened his mouth, only a single word came out."Jaheira!"He turned and ran back toward the dungeon.Chapter Nine"I just didn't want you to get hurt," Abdel explained, hoping Jaheira would forgive him for leaving her and Imoen trapped in the dungeon.He wasn't being completely honest with them—he still couldn't bring himself to recount his experience in the clearing with Illasera.He couldn't admit he had been mere seconds away from transforming into an uncontrollable monster that would have ripped his lover and his sister apart with its four taloned hands.But he had to tell the half-elf something.The locksmith working to free the end of the key jammed into the lock of the half-elf's cell nodded in agreement."It was pretty messy up there, Miss," he said, offering Abdel some unsolicited support.

"No place for a couple of ladies."Jaheira gave Abdel an angry look and snorted contemptuously, making no effort to hide her disbelief."You didn't seem to mind Melissan being up there."Imoen, already released from her cell by a spare key, chimed in on Jaheira's side of the argument."And we can handle ourselves in a fight, Abdel.You know that."Abdel sighed, staring down at the floor."I know," he admitted, groping for some explanation and finding nothing."You're free, Miss," the locksmith announced, standing up and opening the door to Jaheira's cell."I will go tell Melissan," Sarevok announced from his position at the top of the stairs.Abdel's half brother had not attempted to descend the steep steps down to the dungeon.Although the only blood on his armor was that of his victims, the dark warrior claimed to have been injured during the recent skirmish.Obviously, Sarevok did not share his half brother's remarkable powers of regeneration.Imoen watched him limp slowly away, a strange look on her face."I get it!"she whispered excitedly as soon as the armored man had hobbled out of sight."It was Sarevok, wasn't it?"Uncertain exactly what she was getting at, but desperate for any possible explanation other than the truth, Abdel nodded in agreement."Sarevok?"Jaheira asked, then answered her own question."Of course .. . you still do not trust him."Abdel's wasn't the quickest mind in the Sword Coast—he liked to keep things simple and to the point—but he was sharp enough to seize the opportunity that had just dropped into his lap.

"That's right.I was afraid Sarevok would use the confusion of the battle and try to harm you two.I couldn't take that chance."Jaheira wrapped her long arms around her lover's massive back, squeezing him with surprising strength."Oh, Abdel, I am so sorry.I thought Melissan .. ." She didn't finish, just buried her face against his chest and hugged him even tighter.Imoen gave him a friendly punch in the shoulder before heading up the stairs."You're always looking out for us."The locksmith followed the young woman out, but not before giving Abdel an admiring smile and a knowing wink.* * * * *"I want some answers, Melissan," Abdel demanded, "and I want them now!""Of course," she replied."What do you wish to know?"Abdel hesitated, uncertain what to even ask now that the time had come.Luckily Jaheira stepped in to help him out."Everything," she said confidently, glaring at the taller woman with a look of obvious mistrust."Why don't you just tell us everything?"The picture Melissan painted was not a pretty one.The persecution of the Bhaalspawn was far more widespread than any of them had imagined, extending the entire stretch of the Sword Coast and well into the southern lands of Amn, Tethyr and even Calimshan.The Children of Bhaal were being driven from their homes or thrown into prisons by pursuing armies, and in many cases they were simply executed by vigilante mobs.Many of the unfortunate victims were not even aware of their own tainted heritage.They were as ignorant of their own immortal blood as Imoen and Abdel had once been.

"Imoen shook her head."Hold on, I'm confused.Are you saying these Five are also Bhaalspawn?"A curt nod of Melissan's head confirmed Imoen's assumption."The Five are indeed offspring of the Lord of Murder, and I suspect they are among the most powerful of Bhaal's children who yet live.Although, truth be told, I know precious little about the members of the Five.I do not even truly know how many of them there are.Five is a cursed, unlucky number in the culture of Calimshan and Tethyr.It is possible the Five chose this name because of the fear it would inspire in the superstitious masses."What I do know," Melissan continued, "is that the Five wield great political influence within Faerun, though they always do so behind the scenes.They keep themselves hidden in the shadows, working toward a single purpose.They manipulate others into following them and serving them through lies and deceit.Entire armies have now fallen under control of the Five, though most of the troops and generals do not even realize who they are really working for.""And what do these Five hope to accomplish?"Abdel asked."The Five are a secret society fanatically devoted to bringing their dead father back to life by slaughtering their siblings."Abdel hesitated before asking his next question.Everyone else seemed to understand what Melissan was saying, and the big sellsword was reluctant to expose his own ignorance, but he needed to understand.More than anything he had been told before, this was something he had to comprehend in every detail."How will killing Bhaal's other children bring him back?

""Within each offspring of the Lord of Murder there exists a divine essence," Melissan explained patiently, "a small piece of Bhaal's own essence.In some of his progeny there exists but a faint flicker.In others it burns like an unholy blaze."Whenever one of Bhaal's children perishes," Melissan continued, "that bit of his father's divine, yet tainted, spirit is released.The Five seek to collect the scattered essence of their father's soul bit by bit, drawing the tiny embers together until they have built a burning pyre from which Bhaal himself will be reborn."Sarevok, who had been standing silently off to the side, added his own emotionless voice to the conversation."You know what Melissan says is possible, Abdel.To a lesser degree, you have already experienced it.When you ended my first life in the caverns beneath Baldur's Gate you unconsciously absorbed my essence—and you moved a small step beyond a mere mortal existence.When we met again, you willingly sacrificed a small part of that divine spirit to bring me back to life and give me a second chance."It all made sense.Abdel had not always had his remarkable healing powers.The more he thought about it, the more Abdel realized they had manifested themselves only after Sarevok's death by his hands.He couldn't help but wonder if he had unknowingly taken some of Imoen's immortal essence.When she had been transformed into the avatar of Bhaal by the wizard Jon Irenicus, Abdel had fought and defeated Imoen's hideous demon form.In doing so he might have absorbed much of the young woman's tainted essence.That would explain why he had become so powerful, while Imoen still seemed .. . normal.While Abdel was wrestling with the implications of what he had been told, Jaheira continued to question Melissan."You seem to know an awful lot about this," she said, her voice more than slightly accusatory in tone."How are you involved, Melissan?

""I, too, have heard the prophecies," the tall woman in black explained, "Like the Five, I know Alaundo's words and what they foretell.I have dedicated my life to preventing Bhaal's return to this world—as any sane person would."For many years I fought an invisible enemy.I suspected a group of Bhaal's offspring would unite their powers to bring about his rebirth, but I could find no evidence such a cult existed.Only in the past few years have I been able to confirm the rumors and my suspicions.And now I will do everything in my power to thwart them in their mad quest."Jaheira said nothing.It appeared to Abdel she was mulling over Melissan's words, trying to find some fault or lie in them.Eventually the half-elf gave up and turned her attention to Sarevok."You don't seem surprised to hear all this."How his half-elf lover was able to judge anything about the reactions of the stoic Sarevok was a mystery to Abdel, though his half brother's response did seem to indicate Jaheira's instincts had been correct."I have heard this tale before, druid.Several years ago, from Melissan herself.""It is true," Melissan admitted, cutting off Jaheira before she could comment."When I first learned the Five were more than just a dark shadow in my own imagination, I sought out allies to my cause—those who had a vested interest in stopping the Bhaalspawn before they became powerful enough to orchestrate this campaign of murder that has now swept the land.""You went looking for other Bhaalspawn to fight against the Five," Imoen interjected."Precisely, my child.Who better to aid me against the Lord of Murder's children than one of Bhaal's own progeny?At the time, of course, you and Abdel were still unknown to me.The scribes of Candlekeep had done well in burying your history and wiping your very existence from all records.

"But I knew of another who was quickly gaining power and fame, whose name was whispered with fear and awe by the darkest, most vile criminals of the Sword Coast.A young man named Sarevok.""Melissan approached me," Sarevok said, picking up the story in his deep monotone."She told me of my heritage, and all its implications.She hoped to persuade me to work with her for my own self-preservation, if for no other reason.But I was already consumed by the dark taint within my own soul.Instead of joining her against the Five, I vowed I would be the one to bring Bhaal back to the mortal realm myself."And so I plotted a war between Nashkel and Baldur's Gate, and when I learned of Abdel's existence, I was determined to kill my half brother and take his essence to augment my own power."There was a long pause once Sarevok finished.Melissan resumed speaking to fill the almost accusatory silence."That is the danger of having allies who are born of evil itself.They will often betray you.I have had to relearn this lesson many, many times."Jaheira spoke up in an angry voice."So you knew all this!"she declared, pointing a finger at Sarevok."You could have just told us this, without bringing us into this besieged town!""I could have told you this tale," Sarevok answered slowly, "but would any of you have believed me?"The silence of Abdel and his companions was answer enough."Whatever the circumstances of your arrival, I am glad you are here now," Melissan said solemnly.

"From what Sarevok has told me, you may be the only one who can save us from the army outside.They are led by a warrior named Yaga Shura.""Yaga Shura?"For some reason, Abdel felt the name signified more than the leader of an army.The name had power within it."Yaga Shura is one of the Five," Melissan explained."Like you, he is a child of Bhaal.Like you, he burns with the essence of your immortal father."Abdel," Melissan whispered, "you can save us from Yaga Shura."Abdel honestly didn't know what he was going to do.He was drowning in the flood of information Melissan had poured forth.Her tale ran through his head in bits and pieces as he tried to bring some order to the chaos within his own mind."This is madness," Jaheira insisted."This cannot be the way to free yourself from Bhaal's taint!More bloodshed is not the answer."Dozens of Bhaalspawn had been slaughtered by the armies who secretly and unknowingly served the Five, and countless more had been killed in the riots and panic the Five had sown across Faerun.The children of Bhaal had fled in terror, seeking a savior, seeking sanctuary.They found Melissan.Or rather, Melissan found them, and she led them all to Saradush."We can avoid this battle, Abdel," Imoen said, adding her support to Jaheira's sentiment."I found a way to sneak us into this town, big brother, and I can find a way to sneak us out.

"Many of the Bhaalspawn who followed Melissan were lowly commoners, everyday folk swept up in a storm they could never have imagined.If these were the only ones who had sought sanctuary in Saradush, perhaps Melissan could have succeeded in hiding them.Perhaps she could have kept them safe.But others had come: powerful, influential figures, political and military leaders—even a high-ranking general in the army of Calimshan.When Gromnir and a company of his loyal troops marched to Saradush and demanded sanctuary, the predatory eyes of the Five were drawn with them."If you do not stand and fight now, the Five will hunt you across the entire face of Faerun, Abdel," Melissan cautioned him, her words much more calm and rational than the impassioned pleas of Jaheira and Imoen.The town officials had ordered Gromnir and his troops to move on.They would not allow a foreign army to take up residence within their walls.Melissan had changed their minds, and they opened the gates and offered Gromnir the same sanctuary they had granted to all his less famous kin."They are drawn to your tainted blood, Abdel," Melissan continued."Eventually they will find you—eventually you will have to fight.All you can do is choose the time and place of your battle.Why not choose here and now?"Gromnir and his men had seized control of the town, ousting the civilian rulers under pretense of being better able to prepare Saradush for the hostile army that was only a few days march away, the army led by Yaga Shura, the army led by one of the Five.The Saradush militia might have resisted the coup and the people could have taken up arms against the invading Calimshan general and his small band of troops.But the townsfolk were more afraid of the approaching soldiers of Yaga Shura and their savage efforts to wipe out the children of Bhaal.Yaga Shura's army was a juggernaut, crushing everything in its path, leaving a wake of ravaged cities and burning corpses.So the people of Saradush endured the presence of Gromnir and his men, because it gave them the best chance to survive the coming onslaught and the inevitable siege that was to come."I have yet to meet an opponent who can best me in single combat," Abdel said, attempting to reassure his half-elf lover."You have seen it: My wounds regenerate instantly.""If you undertake this task you must not be overconfident,'' Melissan warned him."No one knows the limits of your healing powers, but the limits are there.You are not a god, Abdel.""This is a battle you cannot win!"

He thinks he is invincible.He thinks he is a god himself."Imoen shook her head in denial."Impossible.Yaga Shura cannot be that stupid.I'm one of Bhaal's children, and I would never accept this type of challenge just to prove myself."Abdel looked his half sister directly in the eye."I would."Chapter TenThe gates to Saradush were opened, and Abdel stepped out alone to meet his foe.The army of Yaga Shura had retreated several hundred yards from the walls of Saradush in preparation for the coming duel, leaving a large patch of empty, well-trampled ground.Abdel walked to the center of the vast expanse and waited.Inside the fortress behind him Calimshan soldiers and Saradush militia stood side by side, armed and ready.If Abdel managed to kill Yaga Shura the defenders of the town would charge forth, looking to catch their opponents by surprise.After witnessing the loss of their "invincible" leader, the troops of Yaga Shura would be disorganized and demoralized.A sustained charge could break their spirit, and the town would be saved.At least, that was Melissan's plan.If Abdel survived the duel.If Abdel fell, the defenders would go back to their posts, and the siege would continue until starvation and disease weakened Saradush enough for the army outside to successfully breach the walls and raze the town.Somewhere in the distance a trumpet sounded, a fanfare to announce the coming of Yaga Shura.Abdel braced himself for what he knew was coming."Yaga Shura is no ordinary Bhaalspawn," Melissan had warned Abdel while he had been selecting his weapon in preparation for battle."His mother was a giant from the tribes who live among the volcanoes of the Marching Mountains.""That's disgusting!"Imoen had gasped.

"Don't be naive, child!"Jaheira had snapped, taking her anger at Abdel out on the young woman."Bhaal was no mortal man.He could assume any form he desired.A giant is as close to a god as a human or an elf."Imoen had shaken her head, stubbornly declaring, "It's an abomination.""Bhaal's taint is an abomination in any form," Melissan had replied, effectively ending the conversation.The soldiers parted, clearing a path for their champion.The sight of Yaga Shura's approach snapped Abdel's mind away from his recollections and to the present.The shirtless giant towered over his men by several feet as he made his way through the crowd.His broad shoulders, muscular chest, and massive arms were clearly visible above their helms and even the points of the spears they raised in salute.His skin was the color of ash and soot, his beard the same flaming red hue as the long hair that hung down in a single braid past his shoulders.The double-edged head of the enormous axe strapped to Yaga Shura's back seemed to devour any light that struck its obsidian surface.Abdel tightened his grip on the broadsword he had chosen to bring into battle and shifted his weight rapidly from one foot to the other to try and work out any lingering stiffness before the duel began.He wore no armor—he wanted to use his quickness and agility against his much larger opponent.Abdel had surprised men half his size with his inhuman speed.He was certain he could do the same to a foe the size of a lumbering giant.Yaga Shura's long, heavy strides quickly brought him free of the crowd and closed the distance between the two combatants.The giant stopped less than twenty feet away and slowly reached back to draw his own weapon from its harness, the muscles of his bare torso flexing as he did so.Abdel was now close enough to see the head of the weapon was not solid black, as he had first imagined.The weapon's edges were inscribed with blood red glyphs and symbols.The implications of those markings were not lost on Abdel.Instinctively, he knew these sigils were the same as those that had marked the arrows of Illasera, the archer in the clearing.Like Illasera's arrows, Abdel knew any wounds he received from Yaga Shura's axe would not disappear.He spread his feet wide, lowering his stance.The knowledge that his enemy could harm him, perhaps even kill him, didn't scare Abdel.

It just changed his battle plan to a more defensive strategy.The two men slowly circled each other, Abdel in the unfamiliar position of looking up into the eyes of his opponent.The sellsword hesitated, uncertain if a signal would be given to begin.An impatient roar of anticipation went up from the assembled host, and Yaga Shura lunged forward.As Abdel had hoped, Yaga Shura's own bulk worked against him, slowing the giant down.He bull-rushed Abdel, his great axe held high above his head.Abdel waited until the last second then ducked to the side and rolled clear of the clumsy chop of his opponent.As he did so, he slashed his own blade across the rippling muscles of Yaga Shura's unprotected stomach, slicing him open.Abdel spun around to deliver the coup de grace to his dying opponent's exposed back, only to find the giant had also spun around to face him.Already the gaping gash Abdel had inflicted had become nothing but a faint scar of blazing white against Yaga Shura's soot-colored skin.A second later that too was gone, leaving no evidence of Abdel's attack.The shocking realization that Yaga Shura shared—maybe even surpassed—his own remarkable invulnerability to injury momentarily confused Abdel.He had expected to finish off a dying opponent writhing on the ground.He wasn't prepared to pierce the defenses of a ready adversary.The giant was already swinging at him again.Abdel easily redirected the path of the giant's awkward attack and carved out the eye of his foe in a series of fluid sword strokes learned through years of practice and training.Yaga Shura screamed in pain and stumbled back, bringing one massive hand up to clutch at the blinded, mangled orb in his head.As one, his troops cried out in surprise and dismay.But when Yaga Shura dropped his hand, now covered in blood and ocular fluid, Abdel was only mildly surprised to see the eye had been fully restored.In the pit of his stomach, Abdel felt a heavy, sinking feeling.He realized this must be the same hopelessness many of his past enemies had felt when they understood the ineffectiveness of their weapons against Abdel himself.The giant's amused laugh was drowned out by the cheers of his followers, and he engaged Abdel once more.The battle quickly fell into the pattern established in the first two exchanges.Yaga Shura attacked without technique or style, as he knew only brute force and sheer strength.Abdel, with the expertise of a trained swordsman, was easily able to evade or parry every blow and deliver a savage counterstrike each time.Abdel didn't know the scope of his own regenerative abilities, but he was determined to push Yaga Shura's healing powers to the absolute limits.He carved the giant's throat, he impaled vital organs on the point of his sword, he inflicted dozens of wounds, each one fatal.Again and again he mutilated the unskilled foe opposing him, but the injuries he inflicted were transitory, the damage temporary and ultimately ineffectual.The battle had raged for only ten minutes, a brief time for the cheering spectators but an eternity for the combatants.Abdel's breath came in gasps, his massive chest heaving like a bellows to try and bring fuel in to his oxygen-starved limbs.

The muscles in his legs screamed each time he crouched to duck under one of Yaga Shura's swings, and they threatened to cramp up every time he leaped clear of a descending chop.His shoulders burned with fatigue, his hands and fingers were numb from the ceaseless vibrations as Abdel parried blow after blow from the mighty giant's great axe.Only then, as his body threatened to collapse in a trembling exhausted heap, did it dawn on Abdel.Yaga Shura had never learned technique or style because the giant had never needed them.Abdel could strike his enemy virtually at will, but no matter how overmatched Yaga Shura was in skill and ability the giant's physical invulnerability gave him an insurmountable advantage.With each swing of his axe, Yaga Shura's advantage grew.Each time Abdel spun, or ducked, or dodged he felt the deadly blade miss by a smaller fraction.The big man was wearing down; his quickness and mobility ebbed as his stamina faded.Still the giant pressed him, relentless and irresistible as a force of nature.Abdel tried to summon the rage of his immortal father.He reached down into the depths of his soul and stoked the flames of Bhaal's fury to give him strength, but there was nothing there.The knowledge that all the bloodshed and violence he was inflicting was meaningless against this foe had cooled the Lord of Murder's savage heat.Abdel Adrian, drained and weapon-weary, knew he was going to die.His feet betrayed him first, now far too heavy to perform the rapid backpedaling Abdel demanded in his latest effort to avoid the giant's latest brutally simple assault.The axe whistled through the air, its keen edge slicing a long, superficial wound across Abdel's chest as the big man fell backward, tripping over his own heel.The sword fell from Abdel's grasp as he threw his hands back to cushion his fall.Even so, he struck the ground hard enough to momentarily see stars.When his vision cleared he saw Yaga Shura straddling him, his rune covered axe already arcing down to end Abdel's life.Abdel wanted to surrender.His exhausted body begged to lie back and welcome the grisly end, but his warrior's instincts took over, and Abdel kicked out with his heavy boot.His heel struck the axe's handle half way down its ten-foot length, cracking the thick wood completely through.The lower half of the rune-inscribed shaft burst apart, disintegrating into several chunks of splintered wood, each over a foot long.Yaga Shura toppled forward, his balance thrown off by the force of the unexpected kick and the suddenly unbalanced weapon he wielded.The bits and pieces of the lower end of his axe's shaft had fallen to the ground, but his right hand still clutched the top half of his broken weapon.The giant drew the blade back to strike at Abdel even as he fell on top of him.With his free hand, Yaga Shura reached out to brace his fall.Abdel seized the wrist of Yaga Shura's empty, extending hand and pulled, bringing his other foot up and bracing it against the muscular chest of his foe.Abdel might have been the only man alive who had the strength to redirect the momentum of a falling giant's weight, but then, Abdel was truly more than a man.To the amazement of the onlookers and Yaga Shura alike, the giant suddenly found himself hurtling through the air, his entire body flipping heels over head as he crashed on his back.Before his foe even hit the ground Abdel had scrambled to his own feet, scooping up the largest chunk of the axe's broken shaft as he did so.

Before his fallen opponent could recover from the throw, Abdel was on him.Along with his swordsmanship, Abdel had spent many years training himself in grappling and other unarmed forms of combat, and he knew how to gain an advantage on a prone opponent.The big man leaped onto Yaga Shura's enormous chest, pinning the giant's arms with his knees.He felt like a child wrestling with a grownup—the same way an ordinary man must have felt when wrestling with Abdel.Yaga Shura would be able to free himself quite easily simply by rolling to the side, twisting his shoulder and using his bulk to overbalance Abdel.The sellsword just hoped the giant wouldn't know how.Yaga Shura's torso heaved and bucked as he tried to fling Abdel off through sheer strength and brute force, but Abdel could not be dislodged so easily.He simply shifted his weight in rhythm with the larger man's thrashing, maintaining his mounted position straddling the giant's chest.The giant's free hand clutched at Abdel, the other flailed with the axe in a desperate attempt to bring the weapon to bear.With Abdel's knees still firmly pinning the mighty arms of the giant to the ground, all of Yaga Shura's efforts were ineffective.Abdel raised the broken, rune covered piece of wood with both hands above his head, and plunged the jagged, splintered point into the giant's exposed throat—impaling Yaga Shura with a piece from the shaft of his own enchanted weapon.The writhing death throes of the doomed Bhaalspawn finally hurled Abdel from his perch, sending him rolling across the ground.The big sellsword tried to leap to his feet, but his muscles refused to respond.He had spent every last ounce of energy burying the shaft in Yaga Shura's neck.Somehow, Abdel managed to raise his head in time to see Yaga Shura struggle to his feet, clutching at the length of wood protruding from his neck.The giant's chest was coated in a bubbling magma, the fiery lifeblood pumping from the puncture wound in his neck.He tried to yank the massive splinter from his throat, but the shaft was slick with flowing fluid and the giant's hands slipped off.The monstrous Bhaalspawn fell to his knees and grasped the shaft again.This time he managed to pull it free but only succeeded in unleashing a veritable flood as the steaming blood burst forth like a geyser from the wound with every fading beat of his massive heart.From behind him Abdel heard the sound of a trumpet and a great crash as the gates of Saradush flew open and the army attacked.Still too weary to stand, he turned his head to see Gromnir, Melissan, and Sarevok leading the charge as the defenders suddenly took the offensive.The gurgling gasps of his dying foe were swallowed by the deafening din as Abdel's allies surged past him to engage the panic-stricken forces of Yaga Shura.Then the world began to dissolve, melting away as it had done in the clearing when Abdel had slain Illasera.The last thing he saw before the world vanished entirely was an enormous winged beast descending on the city of Saradush, ruby scales blinding and bright in the reflected glow of the fire belching forth from its reptilian jaws.He was back in the void.Although, as he looked around, Abdel realized the name no longer fit.There was clearly ground beneath his feet now.An empty gray sky arched overhead.The mists were gone, revealing a barren, lifeless plain extending to the limits of his vision in every direction.The void had become a sterile, dead world with nothing to break the monotony of the landscape except the free-floating doors that stood before him.Abdel noted there were only four now.

"They represent your possible destinies, Abdel Adrian," an unseen speaker answered in response to his unasked question."And as you continue down your path, your possible futures become fewer."Abdel instantly recognized the infinite yet singular voice of the being from his dream in the clearing."Show yourself!"he demanded.Suddenly the figure stood before him, as physically magnificent as before, the blinding light of perfection still radiating out from its being.But for some reason, Abdel now found the creature less impressive, less imposing, less wondrous, less .. . well, just less."I am not less, Abdel Adrian.You have simply become more.Much more.Your progress has been amazing, even to one such as myself."Abdel spat out his next question quickly, unnerved by the being's habit of answering the thoughts in his head."Why have you brought me here?""As before, I am not responsible for your presence here, Abdel.You are."He remembered his last glimpse of the material world, the terrifying vision of the dragon descending on Saradush."I have to get back!You have to send me back!""You know the way back, Abdel.You control your leaving just as you controlled your arrival.

"Abdel laughed, uncertain if he meant the sound to be wistful or bitter."You sound like Gorion.""Your adopted father was a wise man."The big sellsword glanced briefly at the doors, then turned his attention back to his strange companion.As desperate as he was to get back to the real world, he could not simply throw away a chance to learn something about what was going on.He opened his mouth to speak, and a million questions tried to come out at once.The result was only choking silence.He took a deep breath and tried again."The Five ... do they really exist as Melissan claims?Are they truly attempting to resurrect Bhaal?""What Melissan has told you is the truth," the being admitted, then hastily added, "but there is much about the Five she has not revealed."Abdel was momentarily caught off guard by the answer.The rushed qualification seemed vitally important, yet at the same time the being seemed almost ashamed, as if it had violated some extraplanar law or an obscure immortal code of honor by sharing too much."You aren't in charge here, are you?"Abdel asked, slowly beginning to understand.The being shook its head slowly."I am but a servant of divine will, Abdel.I cannot take an active part in your destiny.Events must unfold as they will.""And I suppose you won't tell me my destiny," Abdel said wearily."Even the powers I serve cannot say.

"Abdel spat in disgust.The parched ground devoured the moisture."You are of no more help to me than my mortal advisors," he sneered.He turned toward the doors and marched through the nearest one without looking back.Chapter ElevenThe vast expanse of the lifeless Abyss vanished, replaced by the unmistakable sights and sounds of battle.Armored men hacked and chopped at each other.Arrows and sling stones flew through the air indiscriminately striking their targets.Foot soldiers used pikes and pole-arms to unseat their mounted rivals or were trampled beneath the churning hooves of enemy steeds.The horses reared and neighed, froth spraying from their snapping teeth, their flanks covered in sweat and blood.The dead and dying lay underfoot, crushed, cut, stabbed, and gored.The clash of steel on steel, the panicked screams of horses and men, and the groans of the mangled, mutilated soldiers writhing on the turf mingled in a single dull roar—the song of battle.Abdel was surrounded by the carnage on all sides.He had materialized in the exact spot he had stood when Yaga Shura had breathed his last.The giant's corpse lay only a few feet away, now pounded into a barely recognizable pulpy mountain of flesh by the boots and hooves of the battling armies.The big sellsword had no idea how long he had been gone, but from the condition of Yaga Shura's corpse he knew it was long enough for the tide of battle to have swept over this one spot several times.From his vantage point amidst the chaos Abdel couldn't gauge the ebb and flow of war.He had no idea which side was winning, and he didn't care.It was all moot anyway.The dragon that he had glimpsed before being snatched away into the Abyss would destroy Saradush—it would destroy both armies, and it would destroy Jaheira and Imoen if Abdel couldn't save them.First he had to find them.He glanced down at what remained of Yaga Shura's axe, then turned his attention elsewhere.He had no need of the enchanted weapon to hack his way through the wall of mortal soldiers between him and the women he loved, and Abdel was a swordsman, not a woodcutter.Fortunately, swords were in great supply at this point in the battle.He snatched a heavy, broad blade from the hand of one of the fallen, ignoring the feeble protests from the clutching corpse too stupid to know it was already dead.Abdel struck without thought, savagely hacking down anyone in range in his mad attempt to simply thin the throng surrounding him.He ignored the counterattacks directed at his own unarmored body.His mind blocked out the pain, and his immortal spirit absorbed the countless blows and healed his wounds.The small corner of Abdel's mind not obsessed with mowing down the hapless men between himself and his missing companions noted that his healing powers were stronger than ever—many of the wounds closed so fast Abdel didn't even to start to bleed.Nevertheless, he was soon covered in sticky crimson fluid and warm gore from head to toe.

The blood of his opponents matted his hair and soaked into his clothes.The cloying scent clung to his nostrils, and he could taste the coppery tang on his tongue.Rubbing the back of his blood-soaked hand across his eyes couldn't clear the crimson veil from his vision.And through it all, the essence of Bhaal within Abdel stayed calm.He did not revel in the massacre of friend and foe alike, this was not death to be savored.This was slaughter with a single cold purpose: Find Jaheira and Imoen before the dragon turned its attention to the battlefield.The impossibility of Abdel's task never entered his mind.He ignored the facts—thousands of combatants milling about over an area expansive in size—and allowed himself to believe he would somehow stumble across his lover and his sister.Through the confusion of bodies Abdel occasionally saw distant visions of death and destruction raining down on the city of Saradush.A single flick of a great scaled tail toppled the spires of a noble's mansion.A blast of deadly fire from the sky incinerated entire city blocks.A gigantic reptilian beast descended on leatherlike wings to rend and devour a dozen unfortunate victims fleeing through the streets.The glimpses of the great wyrm ravaging Saradush merely spurred Abdel ever onward in his hopeless search.Then he heard his name, screamed with primal, animal rage over the cacophony of the conflict."Abdel!"He turned toward the desperate, crazed cry and saw a single disheveled figure on horseback bearing down on him.The man looked more beast than human, hunched over the saddle of his wild-eyed mount, his tangled, greasy mane streaming out behind him as he rode, a single hairy arm brandishing a heavy spear high above his head.Abdel, despite his best efforts, had been unable to locate either Jaheira or Imoen.But somehow Gromnir, the mad general of the Calimshan forces, had managed to find him."Abdel!"Gromnir bellowed, "We meet again!Good fun.Hah!"The horse bore down on him, but Abdel held his ground.At the last second he stepped forward, ducking under Gromnir's thrusting spear and wrapping his muscular arm around the steed's thick neck.Abdel braced himself, but was still thrown backward by the impact of the charging beast and sent hurtling through the air.The pop of Abdel's shoulder dislocating was lost beneath the thunderous crack of a dozen bones in the horse's neck snapping like dry kindling.By the time Abdel was back on his feet, his shoulder had already slipped back into place, with no ill effects.

Gromnir was not so fortunate.He might have been a Child of Bhaal, but like Imoen and most of the others he lacked the superhuman regenerative powers of Abdel or Yaga Shura.The general was crawling weakly out from beneath the convulsing body of his horse, pulling himself forward with only his hands.Abdel could see Gromnir's pelvis had been smashed in the fall.Already a dark stain was seeping up over the belt and from beneath the chainmail leggings that covered Gromnir's body below the waist."Abdel," the crippled, twisted man croaked."Abdel betrayed Gromnir.Ha-ha!Gromnir fell for Abdel's trap."He could have turned his back on the helpless man and simply resumed his search to find Jaheira and Imoen.But something within Abdel couldn't endure the unfounded allegations the Calimshite general had leveled at him."I am no traitor, Gromnir," he said in an even voice."Hah!Good fun, Abdel.Joking while Gromnir dies!Ha-ha!"Abdel shook his head."You're crazy.""Crazy?Gromnir and his men rode into an ambush!Hah!A thousand cavalry troops hidden behind the hills, reinforcements to smash Gromnir's army!"The dying man's words frothed up on his lips as he spit them out.

He had reached the still-open gates of Saradush and was rushing down the rubble-filled streets, ignoring the flame engulfed buildings on either side of him.The city was choked with a thick veil of smoke, forcing Abdel to hunch his seven-foot frame nearly in half to stay beneath the acrid clouds.He knew Jaheira and Imoen would be where the destruction was the greatest—all he had to do was find the dragon, and he would find his friends.Finding the dragon was easy.He just ran toward the screams.He was still several blocks away when he saw the enormous beast rampaging through the street, reducing buildings to dust and slaughtering every living thing that came within reach of its claws, jaws, or tail.As with all dragons, this specimen was both awe-inspiring and terrifying.As he approached, Abdel realized this dragon was but a youth, barely even full grown.Its scales were smooth and unmarked by the scars of great battles yet to come.Its hide was still a bright, shiny red.As it aged, its coloration would darken and deepen.If the creature was as inexperienced in tactics and combat as its immaturity would suggest, Abdel might have a hope of defeating it.At the far end of the block Abdel caught a glimpse of half a dozen figures huddling in the ground level of a burned-out hull of a building whose upper reaches had already been destroyed by dragon fire.Even at this distance, Abdel recognized the silhouetted outline of Jaheira through the haze and the smaller form of Imoen beside her.Imoen's arms moved in the intricate patterns Abdel had seen mages and wizards use when performing an enchantment, and through the darkness Abdel could clearly see a parchment scroll with glowing symbols at her feet.A second later the entire group vanished from sight.Momentarily stunned, it took Abdel a second to realize they were still there, their presence cloaked by a spell of invisibility.However, he didn't have time to wonder at Imoen's previously unrevealed magical talents as the dragon's attention was now even more focused on the small structure in which the group had sought shelter.Slowly, as if savoring the coming slaughter, the dragon began to march along the street toward the invisible Imoen and those she would protect.A deep mocking laugh rolled out from the monster's throat, rising above the deafening crackle of flames and the screams of the other townsfolk fleeing in terror at its approach.Abdel never hesitated in his charge, never even slowed his stride—though part of his mind was screaming at him to turn and run.The beast could rip him apart with one swipe of its massive talons or reduce him to a pile of ash and charcoal with a blast of fire so hot it would cause great chunks of the stone walls fortifying the city to melt.Abdel knew his own instantaneous healing couldn't save him from death in the face of such traumatic, grievous injury, though it might have appeared that way to the soldiers ineffectually hacking at him back on the field of battle.Abdel knew he wasn't immortal.It was more than just the knowledge of his own mortality that made a section of Abdel's mind cower in terror.Despite its obvious youth, the great red wyrm dwarfed the humans and halflings scurrying before it.It spread its enormous wings to span the breadth of the entire street, casually batting the tiny figures who stumbled too close to the leathery appendages, leaving the victims in crumpled, unconscious heaps.Though large enough to carry off a pair of owlbears in its claws, the awesome spectacle of the dragon's presence was the result of more than just sheer size.Its young scales gleamed with an inner brilliance, each as beautiful and bright as a priceless ruby.

Yet they were woven together so tightly they seemed to form an impenetrable coat of armor over the beast's back.From the tips of its razor-sharp teeth to the ends of its serpentine tail thirty feet away, the creature exuded glorious power.There was a majesty about dragons, even young ones, that transcended even their own incomprehensible physical presence: a physical aura of grandeur, magnificence, and pure malevolence that made Abdel want to throw himself to the ground and tremble in fear.Dragonfear, the sages called it.Ignoring the corner of his consciousness that begged him to hurl his puny sword to the street and flee in terror, Abdel moved within striking distance.Too lucky or too insignificant to have even been noticed by his gargantuan foe, Abdel rushed in unseen and slashed at the dragon's hind leg just above the heel.Most weapons would merely bounce harmlessly off the beast's scales, but Abdel's sword was propelled by a strength unequalled by any other mortal.A geyser of steaming blood erupted from the wound, though Abdel's weapon was shattered by the impact.The dragon howled in pain, kicking out with its wounded leg and twisting its head around on its long, sinuous neck to snap at the unseen enemy.Abdel leaped back, avoiding both the kicking leg and the lethal jaws even as he ducked beneath the wing that swept over his head.He didn't avoid the heavy tail whipping around to slam into him from behind.It hurled Abdel through the air into one of the few stone walls still standing on the street.The wall disintegrated when Abdel smashed face first into it, breaking his ribs, cracking the vertebrae in his neck, shattering every bone in his face, and rupturing several internal organs.It took Abdel nearly ten seconds to recover enough from the horrendous injuries to stand on his feet again.Luckily, the inexperienced dragon hadn't bothered to finish him off.Assuming the hero had been pulverized by its lashing tail, the creature returned its attention to the building where Imoen, Jaheira, and the others had sought shelter before being cloaked with the spell of invisibility.Raising up onto its hind legs the beast let loose with a roar that shook the ground.The reverberating echo of the battle cry drowned out all other sound.Abdel couldn't even hear his own scream as the beast slammed its entire body down on the building's roof, collapsing the entire structure in a roiling cloud of dust that quickly mingled with the heavy smoke hanging like a curtain in the air.Nothing inside the mashed building larger than a roach could have survived the destruction.Abdel howled to the blackened sky in grief over his lover's certain death."Jaheira!"Abdel's eyes welled up as he ran his hand across the mix of blood and dirt on bis face.He took in a great deep breath to give voice to his rage and sorrow once again when he abruptly stopped.Abdel noticed footsteps in the dirt and soot that covered the city streets.Footsteps leading away from the building, churning up tiny puffs of dust as they scampered away.From the number of footprints left behind and the amount of broiling dust in their wake, Abdel guessed there were maybe half a dozen people on the run.He couldn't see them.

Whatever spell had caused Imoen, Jaheira and the others to vanish from sight when Abdel had first noticed them huddled inside the threshold of the now-destroyed doorway was still keeping them hidden from view.Imoen and Jaheira were alive.Abdel released his breath, and his anguished cries became relieved laughter.As the dragon turned back toward the big sellsword, Abdel's laughing stopped.The wyrm tilted its head back slightly and took a deep breath.As the beast inhaled, its enormous chest expanded ever farther, and Abdel realized it was gathering itself to unleash a blast of fire that would incinerate him where he stood.The big man spun on his heel and ran.Behind him, Abdel heard a deep rumble and a sizzling hiss.He dived for the cover of an open doorway, hurtling himself through the air even as the wall of flames swept down the street, engulfing everything in its path.Had the full brunt of the dragon's attack struck Abdel, he would have died instantly, his blood evaporating, his skin melting, and his bones turning to charred ash.But the youthful beast's own impatience saved Abdel.The dragon had tipped its hand too soon, allowing his foe's hasty retreat to bring him to the farthest edge of the wyrm's fiery breath.Abdel made a desperate leap for cover, and instead of instant, merciful annihilation he felt an unbearable burning pain reserved solely for the living.His clothes and hair ignited, the skin on his back, neck and shoulders blistered instantly in the intense heat.He clenched his eyes against the sizzling cocoon of fire momentarily enveloping him.His nasal passages, throat and lungs were scorched as he breathed in sulfurous air and stinging smoke.The agony of being burned alive momentarily sent his body into shock causing Abdel to black out.The blaze swept over his unconscious form.Recovering consciousness, he found himself in the now-blackened doorway, the last flickers of the dragon's breath still burning around him.He tried to leap to his feet, only to find his limbs would not obey.He lay still for several seconds, waiting for his otherworldly regenerative abilities to kick in, but when he tried to stand he found his injuries hadn't healed.Fire.Many times Abdel had felt the internal blaze of Bhaal's fury and bloodlust, but those were flames of the spirit and the soul.In the real world, Abdel had never been seriously burned in his life—not before he had become an avatar of a dead god, and not after.He had just assumed he could recover from horrible burns as easily as he recovered from slashes, cuts, and other physical injuries.Now, as he lay helpless beneath a sticky blanket of his own melted clothes and the oozing wounds from his cracked, blistered back Abdel understood this was not the case.Mustering all his strength, the crippled warrior managed to crawl around to peek out from the doorway that had saved his life.

He had to see why the dragon hadn't finished him yet.He had to see if Jaheira and Imoen had escaped.With great effort he lifted up his head, and the answers to both his questions were revealed.The dragon was under attack.Two gigantic tigers threw themselves on the creature's back, ripping and tearing at its scaled hide.Leaping clear as the dragon lashed out at them with its wings and tail, the two great cats roared and pounced again as soon as another opening presented itself.From the blue nimbus surrounding their powerful feline forms, Abdel knew the beasts had been summoned by Jaheira.The druid must have called on Mielikki for aid, and in answer the forest god had sent the striped cats to protect her servant.Their coordinated assault confused the young dragon, harrying it incessantly and preventing the wyrm from concentrating its attacks effectively on either foe.Jaheira herself stood just beyond the edge of the melee.The incantation she had used to call the striped defenders to her side had destroyed the invisibility that had previously kept her hidden from view.She was ministering to a third tiger that lay broken and bleeding in the middle of the street.Though pain clouded his vision, Abdel could see the half-elf was weeping at the dying tiger's suffering.The dragon flailed around recklessly with its claws and snapping jaws, desperately trying to unseat its two surviving foes from their perch atop its back.But the tigers were quick and cunning, and they continued to savage the monster's hide—though their razor claws were unable to pierce the dragon's scales.Abdel tried again to stand and failed.He tried to drag himself forward, willing his crippled form to crawl to Jaheira's aid.The exertion forced him to draw ragged, rasping breaths with his seared and damaged lungs.The acrid smoke still lingering in the air crawled down his throat, wracking his charred body with choking coughs.In the end his muscles betrayed him.The avatar of Bhaal was as weak and helpless as a newborn child.Barely able to even raise his head, it took all his strength just to watch the battle and pray Jaheira survived.From far away, Abdel heard a fierce war cry he recognized from the battle atop the Saradush battlements.Melissan was coming to join them.The dragon heard her too and turned to unleash another fiery blast against this new enemy.

Melissan seemed oblivious to the horrible fate that was about to engulf her and rushed headlong through the ruined city street to challenge the wyrm, the head of her mace whistling through the air in deadly circles.The flames swallowed her, and Abdel's own wounds cried out in sympathetic protest.When the wall of fire had passed, Melissan stood unharmed, though the force of the dragon's breath had stopped her charge.Puzzled by Melissan's unexpected survival, the young dragon allowed its attention to be distracted long enough for Jaheira to leap into the fray.The staff she normally carried in her hands was gone, replaced by a magically conjured scimitar of cold blue fire.She brought the enchanted blade down on the unsuspecting dragon's tail, slicing deep into the wyrm's flesh.Cold steam burst from the wound, and the dragon bellowed in shock and anger.Still ignoring the tigers futilely clinging to its great back, the beast spun toward Jaheira.In her haste to duck clear of the dragon's snapping jaws, the druid's foot snagged on a jagged piece of debris from one of the street's many demolished buildings and the half-elf fell to the ground.She tried to roll clear, but the dragon was too quick, pinning her to the ground with a taloned foot.In response to Jaheira's tormented shrieks, Abdel tried again to stand.Through sheer force of will he managed to get to his feet, but when he took a step toward his screaming lover he collapsed back to the ground, too weak to even cry out in grief or frustration.Somehow, he managed to lift his head again.His vision had become a narrow tunnel of light, and darkness was closing in from all sides.Abdel knew he was on the verge of blacking out again.The world was fading.He could see Jaheira's body writhing beneath the dragon's claw, but he could no longer hear her cries.Melissan stepped into his rapidly shrinking field of vision, her mace now jammed inside her belt.Her empty hands were engulfed in a white ball of energy that she hurled at the dragon.The spell struck between the monster's winged shoulders, and it screamed.Few beings had ever heard a dragon's scream, but any who survived the siege of Saradush would remember the awful sound in their nightmares forever.The few buildings on the street still standing were toppled by the concussive force of the wyrm's keening cry.The tigers still atop the creature's back fell to the ground twitching, stunned by the wave of sound.Paralyzed by his injuries, Abdel could not bring his hands up to shield his ears against the horrific noise.His eardrums burst, exploding in a burst of blood that trickled from his ears down the sides of his cheeks.Yet Melissan seemed unaffected.Already, she had gathered another ball of the glowing energy and hurled it at the dragon.The beast screamed again.

Deafened by the first cry, Abdel could not hear this one.Even so he felt the vibrations rippling through the ground.Abdel struggled to hold back the curtain of darkness, refusing to succumb to the blackness while the battle still raged less than thirty feet away.Unwilling to endure another assault from Melissan, the beast flapped its wings and rose from the ruined streets of Saradush, still clutching the feebly struggling body of Jaheira in its claws.The last image Abdel saw before unconsciousness took him was his lover being carried off by the young dragon.Chapter TwelveAbdel drew a slow, shuddering breath as consciousness returned.Too weak to open his eyes, he was still able to sense he was indoors now.Someone had moved him from where he collapsed in the street.By the faint sting of smoke and ash he could taste on his tongue he guessed he was still somewhere in the burning city of Saradush.He took another deep breath.A cool mist spread down into his chest, the moist cloud soothing his scarred throat and lungs.His hearing, destroyed by the dragon's battle cry, had returned enough for him to detect the monotonous droning of a religious chant echoing from far above.Struggling against his own weariness, he opened his eyes and found himself lying naked on a cold stone floor, staring up at a high arched ceiling.The walls and roof were adorned with elaborately painted images of men and women suffering from disease, injury, and torture— though their expressions showed not torment, but relief.Common to each scene was the figure of a cowled man, his sympathetic face stained with tears.Abdel recognized the portrait of Ilmater, the crying god.It was then that he realized he felt no pain, even though he was lying on his horribly burned back.Unsure if his natural healing abilities had finally kicked in or if there was another explanation, he forced himself to sit up.The effort blinded him, as stars momentarily filled his vision."Thank Ilmater you're alive!"Melissan's voice exclaimed through the glittering tapestry.Abdel heard the sound of scampering feet and a second later felt the familiar embrace of Imoen as she wrapped her thin arms around Abdel's massive neck."Abdel," she cried, pressing herself against his obviously completely healed back, "I thought I'd lost you."As he wrapped his massive arms around his half sister and hugged her back, the stars in his vision began to vanish.Abdel found himself surrounded by not only Imoen and Melissan but by several robed figures anxiously studying his every movement.No doubt it had been these priests of Ilmater who had saved him from his injuries.There was little time to waste on thanks.

If she wanted to kill us why did she save us?"No longer so certain of Melissan's treachery, Abdel's grip loosened.He lowered the tall woman until her feet were on the floor and let go of her neck, giving her a disdainful shove that sent her reeling back into the surrounding priests of Ilmater, who caught her as she stumbled.Imoen dropped from Abdel's back and rushed over to see if Melissan was all right.Assured her new friend would survive, the young woman shot a harshly disapproving glance back at Abdel."What were you thinking, Abdel?Have you gone mad?"Abdel didn't answer but merely swore and spat on the hallowed floor of the church as he turned away from them.With Imoen's help, Melissan managed to stand.Her long, delicate fingers massaged her neck beneath the high, dark collar that reached up to just beneath her chin.Her throat was bruised beneath the fabric of her collar by Abdel's savage and unwarranted assault, but when she spoke, there was no hint of Imoen's anger in Melissan's voice."Your brother has lost someone he loved," she said softly, her abused throat making her voice rough and rasping."He has a right to be upset.""Not like this," Imoen protested, a protective arm around the taller woman's shoulders as her eyes shot daggers at Abdel's back."After everything you've done for us, he has no right to treat you this way."The big man spun on his heel to face the two women.The ring of cowled priests slipped silently away, leaving the trio of interlopers alone to solve their disputes."She set us up, Imoen," Abdel declared."She led us right into a trap."Imoen started to protest, but Melissan raised her hand to hush the young girl."I will not deny Gromnir's army was ambushed," the tall woman said softly, her voice now closer to its normal tone."But I assure you, I had nothing at all to do with the betrayal.

""Who then?"Abdel demanded.Melissan shook her head."Regrettably I cannot say.There were many Bhaalspawn gathered in Saradush seeking shelter from Yaga Shura's army.Perhaps one of them sought to trade his own life for the lives of all his kin."Despite his best efforts, Abdel felt his anger fading.He had accused Melissan based on his own assumptions.They were assumptions based on the dying accusations of the mad General Gromnir.Forced to look at the facts, he couldn't find any evidence Melissan was the one responsible for the ambush.In fact, Melissan had saved Abdel's life—at least according to Imoen.Looking into his half sister's eyes, Abdel realized she was infatuated with the powerful, beautiful woman.Abdel had seen that look in her eyes before, but in the past it had always been when she looked at him.Melissan was Imoen's savior, and apparently she had supplanted Abdel in his role as the young woman's hero.Abdel himself wasn't so awestruck."You haven't been completely honest with me," he said, remembering the parting words of the mysterious being in the Abyssal plane."You know more about the Five than you have told me."Before Imoen could leap to her new idol's defense, Melissan spoke."It is true, Abdel.I have not been completely honest with you.But you must understand I could not trust you until you had proved yourself by defeating Yaga Shura.""Yet you expect me to trust you."Melissan sighed.

"Abdel, my work is difficult.I seek to save the offspring of an evil, treacherous deity from their own kin.I must constantly be on guard against betrayal from my own allies.You know many of your kin are not to be trusted."Reluctantly, Abdel nodded.He could not deny the truth of her words, just as he could not deny his own tainted heritage."Many years ago I approached Sarevok and told him everything I knew about the Five and their purpose," Melissan continued."He used that information for himself and nearly started a war in his mad efforts to supplant the Five as the one who would resurrect your dark father.I have learned from such mistakes to guard my secrets well, Abdel Adrian.""And look at what happened with Gromnir," Imoen chimed in."The people here in Saradush offered him sanctuary, and he took over their town.No wonder Melissan was reluctant to tell us everything.You can't blame her.""Where is Sarevok now?"Abdel asked, suddenly aware of his half brother's absence.With a shrug, Melissan replied, "He rode by my side when we charged from the gate, but we were separated during the chaos of battle.He has not returned.Perhaps he is one of the thousands who lie dead on the battlefield.Perhaps he was slain by the army that ravaged Saradush and only fled when they saw the dragon take to the sky""I doubt these soldiers would have been capable of ending my half brother's existence," Abdel muttered."Maybe he was the traitor," Imoen offered."It wouldn't be the first time he's tried to destroy a city.

""Perhaps," Melissan admitted, though she did not seem convinced."Sarevok was aware of our battle plan.He could have somehow arranged the ambush.When I first met Sarevok, he was easily capable of such treachery."But I sensed something different about him now," the tall woman continued."Sarevok has changed since I first met him.Do you believe he is still capable of such evil?""I ...I don't know," Imoen admitted, "I guess not.But I didn't really know him before."She turned to her brother."What do you think, Abdel?Did Sarevok betray us?"Abdel considered his answer for a long time.Sarevok had murdered Gorion and Khalid.He had nearly killed Jaheira, and he had done it all without conscience.But that was long ago.Like Melissan, Abdel sensed something fundamentally altered in the Sarevok who had accompanied them to Saradush."It hardly matters now," Abdel finally answered, his voice weary."If Sarevok is the traitor, I suspect he retreated with the rest of the army.

"And so am I."* * * * *Driven by urgency and fueled by his immortal blood, Abdel didn't even stop to rest the first day.Even so, he could not traverse the ground as quickly as a dragon in flight.The lost time galled him, but Abdel couldn't move any faster.In fact, as weariness set in he was forced to slow his pace.Though his stops were few and far between, even the son of a god needed to rest.Tracking the dragon was easy.Everywhere the creature passed, it left an indelible impression on both the landscape and the minds of the people fortunate enough to witness the spectacle and survive.The creature was flying almost due south.At first, Abdel suspected it was headed for the dense woods of the Forest of Mir.There the trees grew so thick, it was said, that the light of the sun never touched the forest floor.In many places the trunks grew so close together it was impossible for either man or beast to pass—or so Abdel had heard.In fact, everything he knew about the Forest of Mir was hearsay and legend.Eyewitness accounts were exceedingly rare, as few who ever entered the dark wood ever emerged again.Abdel hoped the creature wasn't heading into the deepest recesses of those accursed woods.The sellsword wasn't afraid of whatever monsters might lurk within the trees, but he was worried that the tales of vast stretches of thick, virtually impassable growth were true.If he had to constantly hack his way through branches, roots, and thickets in his pursuit of the dragon the already slim hope of arriving in time to save Jaheira would become even fainter.By the middle of the third day Abdel realized the dragon wasn't heading for the Mir Forest.The near edge of the wood was now a half day's march to the west, but the creature's path had not veered from its southerly course.Calling upon the long-buried memories of the maps he had been forced to study in his lessons at Candlekeep, Abdel made an educated guess as to where the beast was heading.It was probably heading toward the Alimir Mountains on the coast of the Shining Sea, a small range located a tenday's journey south of Saradush.It was there, Abdel guessed, that the beast had made its lair.It was there he would confront the Bhaalspawn Abazigal, and it was there, Abdel hoped, he would find Jaheira.Part of his mind knew his half-elf lover had left this world, but Abdel refused to consciously acknowledge that part of himself.Against all logic and reason, he still harbored the faint hope that somehow, someway he would find Jaheira alive.

If he didn't, the small corner of his mind he refused to acknowledge vowed that he would extract a gruesome vengeance.Abdel pressed onward, his thoughts a churning maelstrom of improbable hope and despair and violent images of retribution.His being was focused on the goal before him, and he was oblivious to the man pursuing him.* * * * *A half day's march behind the determined sellsword, an immense figure in dark plate mail followed Abdel's path.Sarevok had picked up Abdel's trail on the plains outside the ruins of Saradush, and he had been tracking him ever since.The relentless pace of his half brother kept Sarevok from closing the distance between them, but the armored warrior shared enough of Abdel's blood and physical prowess to keep himself from falling farther behind.Sarevok knew his brother sought revenge for the female druid's death.Sarevok also knew Abdel was heading to a confrontation with another of the Five that might very well end Abdel's existence, and Sarevok was determined to be there when the confrontation took place.Chapter ThirteenEven now, long after the ritual had ended, the flames in the pit at the center of the abandoned temple burned high and hot, fuelled by the essence of the countless Bhaalspawn slaughtered in the sacking of Saradush.The orange light of the fire reflected off the walls, giving the painting of Bhaal's grinning gray skull on the wall a hideous glow and bathing the entire room in its ghastly illumination.The three cowled figures huddled in the farthest corner of the temple.Conditioned by years of operating in hiding and secrecy, they were still loathe to let the revealing light of Bhaal's ceremonial fire touch their hooded forms."The blaze has never been so strong," the smallest of the figures whispered, brushing a strand of silver-white hair from her dark skin.Of the three, the light bothered the drow most of all.Extremely young by elf standards, most of her thirty years of life had been spent among the blackness of the Underdark where the only illumination was the diseased glow of pale lichens.Recruited by the Anointed One several years ago to join the Five, the drow still found bright light painfully uncomfortable."The blaze is strong because our triumph is near," the second figure replied.The tattoos on his face and hands seemed to pulse and shimmer in response to the ghoulish radiance of Bhaal's burning essence.The third and largest figure flicked his long forked tongue to taste the scent of Bhaal's sacrificial glory that hung like smoke in the air.In the harsh light his pupils were mere slits of black in the yellow of his reptilian eyes."Yet Gorion'sss ward ssstill thwartsss usss."The drow scoffed at the fear in the voice of her larger companion."Abazigal, surely you are not afraid of this stupid oaf?"The half dragon hissed at the revelation of his name."You dare betray my identity?"

The half-dragon turned his back on his two companions and walked slowly toward the exit."I can ssstay no longer.I have more pressssing mattersss to attend to."Embarrassed by the drow's display, Abazigal's voice was sullen and petulant."Yes, hurry, half-breed," the drow taunted."You must not keep your betters waiting!"Beneath his cloak, Abazigal's body stiffened."We shall leave Abdel to you," the tattooed man promised, causing Abazigal's body to relax."Do not underestimate him," he warned his companion."Illasera and Yaga Shura paid for their arrogance with their lives."Without turning to face them, Abazigal replied, "They were weak and foolish.I am not."Without another word, the humiliated half-dragon stepped through the nearby door and into the cool night.He crouched low to the ground then launched himself high into the air.His biped form morphed, and his body grew into an enormous mountain of scaled flesh.Great wings erupted from his back, his arms became small vestigial claws, his legs changed into massive, taloned haunches.With the sound of cracking bone, his face transformed into the tooth-lined visage of a dragon, perched atop his suddenly elongated neck.The entire transformation took less than a second.With a flap of his enormous wings and a swish of the tail that had sprouted from his hindquarters, Abazigal rose up into the blackened sky.Not at all surprised, the other two members of the Five watched the silhouette of his massive new body as it grew smaller and smaller against the full moon that hung low in the sky.Only when it had diminished to a faint speck did they speak again."Abazigal is more focused on winning favor with the council of dragons than on fulfilling his duties as one of the Five," the drow noted.

"Melissan is bringing her to Amkethran."The drow laughed, a sound of malevolent evil."Melissan, the great protector of the Bhaalspawn, is bringing Imoen to the fabled protection of Balthazar and his monastery?How deliriously ironic!""I do not wish to reveal myself by moving against her," her companion replied."The time is not yet right for me to take such open action.""Then give me the pleasure of killing this girl!"the drow insisted."You know the protective walls of the monastery are nothing to me—I am but a shadow.Melissan herself will not even know I am there until she finds the Bhaalspawn's corpse!"The man hesitated briefly before nodding his assent.The drow laughed again and slipped out the doors into the cover of night, shedding the heavy hooded cloak once she was beyond the glow of the temple's fire.Her dark skin and clothes were instantly invisible in the evening's gloom.A lifetime of emotional discipline and training could not prevent the tattooed man from feeling a faint glimmer of hope as he watched the drow assassin disappear into the night.He had no doubt Sendai would succeed in her mission.The monks of Amkethran's monastery, though powerful, were incapable of keeping the drow from slaying the young woman from Candlekeep.Perhaps, if fortune smiled on him, Sendai would slay Melissan as well.Alone in the house of his father, the tattooed man turned his attention back to the conflagration in the center of the temple.Beneath the crackle of Bhaal's flaming fury he could hear the anguished screams of the slain Bhaalspawn.He felt their torment pulling at his tainted soul, drawing out the unholy lust of his father.He resisted the urge to submerge himself in the glorious suffering.This night had not gone as he had expected.He had hoped to feed the sacrificial fire with the souls of the drow and the half-dragon tonight.

But with Abdel Adrian still alive he could not afford to betray his allies just yet.As the tattooed man had explained to the drow, the continued existence of their common enemy forced the members of the Five to forestall their natural inclinations to turn on each other.But if his study and training had taught him anything, it was patience.He would bide his time.Eventually he would see them all dead: Abdel, Imoen, Abazigal, Sendai, Melissan—all of the Bhaalspawn, all of the Five, even Bhaal's Anointed would fall.If they killed each other off, so much the better, and in the end he would be the only one left.Chapter FourteenAbazigal flew the entire night spurred on by his shame, his hatred of Sendai, and the knowledge that the arrival of Gorion's ward could ruin all his carefully laid plans.Still many miles from his destination, his keen serpent's eyes could already see the assemblage of dragons who had gathered on the top of the mountain plateau where Abazigal had built his mountain fortress.Blue and green dragons from deep within the Mir Forest, brown wyrms from the sands of the Calimir desert, black dragons from the spider swamp—a glittering kaleidoscope of hues and colors all impatiently awaiting the half-dragon's arrival.Abazigal had sent his request for audience to every mountaintop, hidden cave, and underground cavern within a thousand miles.Over a dozen of the magnificent creatures had responded, drawn by Abazigal's promises of treasure, glory, and a return to a time when dragons ruled the lands of Faerun.Though he was disappointed to notice the absence of the ancient reds Balagos and Charvekannathor, he was exceedingly pleased to mark the gleaming hide of Iryklagathra, the great blue dragon known to most mortals as Sharpfangs, among the assembled throng.Arriving just as the first rays of sun knifed through the morning clouds to ignite the snow-covered peaks, Abazigal alighted in the center of the circle formed by the great wyrms.As his feet touched the hard rock he resumed his humanoid form.The others would not be fooled by his appearance.Even in dragon form they could smell he was a half-breed.Proud as he was, Abazigal knew enough to humble himself before the pure bloods.It had cost Abazigal a small fortune in gold and gems just to gain this audience, and he was not about to offend his guests by speaking to them in the form of a true dragon."You are nearly late," Saladrex, an ancient green wyrm, said by way of greeting, his great voice echoing throughout the surrounding hills.Smaller and less powerful than the red and blue dragons that struggled for dominance in the region, Saladrex was crafty and ambitious.Sensing an opportunity to gain a powerful ally, he had been open to Abazigal's initial queries.Saladrex was the first wyrm to agree to come and listen to Abazigal's offer.For a price, of course.Now, apparently, Saladrex was also serving as the voice of the collected council.Abazigal suspected the green dragon had been chosen because many of the other wyrms, like the glorious Sharpfangs, felt it beneath them to bargain with a creature as insignificant as Abazigal knew he was in their eyes.

""Yet the Lord of Murder understands the glory of dragons," Abazigal assured them."He assumed the form of a great wyrm to sire me—the heir to his immortal legacy.Surely this is proof that he understands dragons are the pinnacle of creation and humans are fit only for servitude."If your human slaves are forced to pay homage to Bhaal, what is that to you, Saladrex?Nothing.And Bhaal will not care if his followers are forced to serve dragonkind, so long as they are also forced to worship him."From the sneer curling up Saladrex's great green lip, Abazigal knew the wyrm was not yet convinced."I assure you, mighty Saladrex, this alliance will be beneficial to both Bhaal and the dragons.As the offspring of both parties I will look after the interests of each side fairly."Saladrex snorted."Perhaps you speak the truth, but we few gathered here are not enough.We will need to recruit other dragons to the cause.The ancient reds will need to join us before others will agree, and they will be loath to follow you.None of my ilk will trust a mongrel half-breed."Abazigal bowed his head respectfully, accepting the insult as the truth it was."I shall not always be a mongrel," he said softly."When my father is reborn, he will grant me any boon I request.And I shall ask of him to make me into a true dragon of pure blood."There was laughter from the assembled dragons, and Abazigal kept his head bowed, unable to face the humiliation of their mockery.Saladrex was not laughing.

"If Bhaal truly understands the majesty of dragons," the green wyrm whispered beneath the roaring mirth of the others, speaking so that only Abazigal could hear, "he may indeed grant your wish.Seek me out when you have the pure blood of a true dragon, and I will join your cause.Together, we will unite the others."His heart bursting with gratitude and relief, Abazigal raised his head—but Saladrex was already gone, his powerful wings flapping as he rose up into the morning sky.The other dragons, still laughing at the half-breed who would become one of them, also took flight.Their beating wings stirred up great clouds of dust and dirt and created powerful whirlwinds and eddies that battered Abazigal's body.The half-dragon held his ground, determined not to show any weakness in the face of those he would call his peers.He stood in the same spot long after the dragons had vanished, the promise of Saladrex repeated over and over in his jubilant mind.* * * * *It was late afternoon on the fourth day when Abdel finally reached the northern tip of the Alimir Mountains.Here the trail of the young dragon that had fled with Jaheira grew cold.There were no witnesses to the beast's passing in this remote, inhospitable region, no trees or grasses flattened by the great winds that traveled in the wake of its flight to indicate the wyrm's direction.Here in the foothills there was only hard stone, baked by the sun and carved by the winds of the centuries.The full range of the Alimir Mountains stretched far to the south, extending well beyond the limits of Abdel's vision.If the beast made its lair deep within the range, Abdel might never find it, or his lover.Melissan had told him the creature worked for Abazigal, and Abazigal was one of the Five.He had to maintain frequent contact with the others in his covert group to help orchestrate their war to eradicate the Bhaalspawn.It would be necessary for the wizard to keep himself appraised of events in the lands beyond the edges of his mountain kingdom, and this task would be made simplest if Abazigal located his enclave in the northernmost reaches of the range.It was only logical to assume Abazigal's pet, as Abdel believed the young red dragon that had taken Jaheira to be, would also have made its lair in the northern tip of the range.Still, Abdel knew scaling the dozens of peaks and spires within even a single day's march would take weeks, if not months.A pointless endeavor.Fortunately, Abdel had devised a plan.He had no doubt Abazigal would employ his young flying lizard in a number of capacities—messenger, transportation, reconnaissance, martial reinforcement.All Abdel had to do was wait for the beast to appear again on one of its many missions and spy on it as it returned to its lair.Once he knew which peak the beast made its home on, Abdel could ascend to his vengeance.He scouted until he found a small cave—somewhere he could bed down for the night and be out of sight but still be able to emerge quickly when he heard the unmistakable flapping of a dragon's wings.

He also needed somewhere with clear sight lines of the numerous peaks dotting the horizon, so that he could track the flight of his quarry.Satisfied his location met all of his requirements, Abdel retreated inside and waited.Night fell, but Abdel didn't sleep.While marching, even Abdel had needed to stop and rest for an hour or so each day, but now that he was merely keeping vigil, the physical specimen that was Bhaal's avatar had no need to sleep or rest.Alert and anxious, Abdel watched and waited, and with every passing second he knew the already minuscule chances of finding Jaheira alive were growing smaller.Close to midnight he heard a sound, something searching the area outside his cave.It wasn't a dragon—this intruder was much smaller.Abdel crept to the entrance of his makeshift lair, his movements silent.The big sellsword had no intention of revealing himself.He didn't want to risk an encounter that could alert Abazigal or the wyrm to his presence.Abdel only wanted to see who was scuffling across the nearby rocks.In the light of the full moon, Abdel could make out a single dark silhouette—a giant of a man in heavy armor adorned with savage spikes and lethal blades forged onto the metal plates.At the sight of the half brother who had betrayed him at Saradush, all thoughts of concealment and discretion vanished, replaced by a hatred so primal Abdel could only scream a single name to express his fury."Sarevok!"The armored man turned to meet the sellsword's reckless charge, batting away the thrusting sword seeking to plunge itself into a vulnerable spot between the impenetrable iron plates.Abdel's body crashed into Sarevok's, driving them both down.They rolled on the ground, Sarevok wrapping his arms in a bear hug around Abdel's own, pinning the sellsword's limbs to his side and preventing Abdel from using his sword to hack through his half brother's protective iron shell.Abdel twisted his body, trying to break free of Sarevok's grip and bring his weapon to bear.As they grappled, he felt the blades on his opponent's shins and forearms slicing through his flesh again and again.Each time the wounds healed instantly, but the incessant pain enraged Abdel further.Sarevok still possessed inhuman strength, but Abdel knew that the power he had gained with Yaga Shura's death had made him physically superior to any foe—even this brother who shared Bhaal's blood.But he couldn't break Sarevok's grip.The armored man had better leverage, and he had locked his left fist around his right wrist, making his hands virtually impossible to separate.Still, Abdel refused to give up.He bucked and thrashed, throwing his entire weight from side to side.A smaller man would have been flung around like a rag doll, but Sarevok's own great size allowed him to counter Abdel's throes.Eventually though, Abdel knew, his enemy would tire.Or his grip would slip, and Abdel would be free to hack his half brother into trembling, quivering bits.Sarevok was holding on for dear life, trying to speak, but Abdel wasn't about to listen to any more of his half brother's lies.

Heedless of the pain and injury he was about to inflict on his own body, Abdel smashed his forehead against Sarevok's visor.It was a desperate move, a ploy he had used to great effect in many a bar brawl when his hands had been restricted.Abdel soon learned that head butting a foe with a full iron visor did not produce the same results.Again and again Abdel slammed his own head against the metal faceplate, his nose breaking in a burst of blood then healing just in time to be broken once more as Abdel banged his head against Sarevok's armor over and over.The taste of his own blood did little to cool Abdel's wrath, but Sarevok would not be shaken free.For nearly an hour the two combatants struggled against each other, locked in the unbreakable embrace.Pushing their bodies to the point of exhaustion, each warrior strained against one of the only other beings on Faerun able to match their own immense strength.Finally, Abdel's remarkable regenerative powers came into play.Sarevok's cramping fingers lost their hold, the locking grip of his bear hug slipped.Bringing his arms up, Abdel was able to push himself away from Sarevok and spring to his feet.His armored foe, muscles heavy and weary from the prolonged struggle, lay motionless on the rocky ground.Had Sarevok been human and not some specter given corporal form, Abdel imagined, he would have been panting and gasping for breath.Sarevok might as well have been a dead thing.He looked no more than an inanimate suit of plate mail on the ground.Abdel slowly raised his sword, intending to take back the existence he had granted his hated half brother.The savage rage was gone, it had slipped away during the protracted, exhausting battle to free himself from Sarevok's grip.Now Abdel moved with the measured actions of a man bent on finishing a long, hard task."I cannot defeat you, Abdel," Sarevok admitted in a cold monotone."We have both seen that the injuries my armor accidentally inflicted upon you during our struggle were inconsequential.I am at your mercy, brother."Almost against his own will, Abdel's hand had stayed at the sound of Sarevok's voice.Realizing he was hesitating, he tensed his muscles to deliver the killing blow."At least grant me the satisfaction of knowing why you slay me now," Sarevok asked, his voice completely devoid of emotion.Despite himself, Abdel answered."You dare ask such a question?

After betraying us at Saradush?"The armored helm, splattered and stained with the blood from Abdel's repeatedly broken nose, moved slightly from side to side."I am no traitor, Abdel.If you do not believe me, strike now and end my return to this physical plane.But if you want to learn the truth, set aside your sword."Abdel raised the blade up above his head but did not thrust it home.His mind churned and spun, too tired to deal with another dilemma of who to trust.Unable to decide if his suspicions about Sarevok were justified, Abdel could not bring himself to strike.In disgust he let the sword slip from his grasp to clatter on the stones at his feet.The sheen of sweat on his muscles caused him to shiver as a chill gust of wind blew across his body.Abdel collapsed in frustration beside his brother.Slowly, Sarevok lifted himself to a sitting position."So you believe I am innocent of treachery?"he asked."I no longer know what to believe," Abdel replied, forcing himself to his feet.He retrieved his sword, turned his back on Sarevok, and returned to the shelter of his cave.A second later, he heard the grinding of metal on metal as Sarevok stood up and followed him."I am here to offer my aid," Sarevok assured Abdel as he took a seat beside his half brother inside the small cavern."When you restored my life I vowed to stay by your side, brother.I shall not break that vow.That is why I followed your trail from the battlefield outside Saradush.""Is that the reason?"

Abdel asked sarcastically, "Or are you here to finish the job Abazigal's dragon could not?"Sarevok shook his head."Abazigal?I am not familiar with that name."Abdel sighed, still uncertain if Sarevok was telling him the truth."He is one of the Five.A half-dragon, if Melissan's reports are accurate.His pet sacked Saradush—right after the ambush that decimated Gromnir's army."The armored man tilted his helm to one side."And you naturally blamed me for the ambush?""Who else?"Abdel asked with a shrug."You knew the battle plan, you could have sent a message to the army beyond the walls.And you disappeared during the battle.Why not assume you were the traitor?""Your evidence could implicate others as well," Sarevok countered."Gromnir knew our tactics.In fact, it was the mad general who devised the strategy.And he, too, vanished during the battle.""No.Gromnir did not arrange this.

We will go to any lengths to achieve our devious ends.""Including spinning a fantastic tale of deceptions and deceits to cover your own involvement?"His half brother made no reply to Abdel's thinly veiled accusation.After several minutes of uncomfortable silence, Sarevok spoke again."Do you wish me to go, brother?"Abdel nodded."I can't trust you Sarevok.I can't trust anyone but myself.If you are innocent of these crimes, I have no wish to spill your blood.Therefore, I will grant you the benefit of the doubt.But understand this, brother ... if we ever meet again I will know you are responsible for this bloodshed.And I will kill you."With a series of harsh, grinding noises Sarevok rose to his feet."I understand."The armored man turned and left the cave.Abdel could hear the clink of his half brother's armor growing ever fainter until it was lost beneath the soft whistling of the wind.He whispered a brief prayer, though he knew no living god who would hear his pleas.He prayed he had made the right decision by letting Sarevok live, and he prayed that Jaheira still survived, wherever she might be.Chapter FifteenImoen had been traveling for nearly seven days, accompanied by Melissan and the small group of soldiers and refugees from Saradush.As far as Imoen could tell, she was the only Bhaalspawn among them.It was hard to imagine that of the dozens and dozens of men and women who shared Bhaal's tainted blood, only she and Abdel had survived the slaughter unleashed upon the city.The young girl shifted in her saddle.Melissan had managed to find horses for them all, making the trip bearable, but even riding could not make the journey pleasant.

They set out each morning before the sun rose, and they rode long past the coming of dusk.After a week, their arduous trek was finally nearing its end.They had set out for Amkethran the same morning Abdel had left to pursue the dragon that had taken Jaheira.However, while Abdel had gone south, Melissan and her company had ventured west, heading down the well-maintained trade route known as the Ithal Road.The countless hours she had spent poring over the maps tucked away in the Candlekeep archives while dreaming of a life beyond the stodgy library walls had given Imoen a strong sense of geography even in these unfamiliar lands.She knew the village of Amkethran lay several hundred miles southwest of Saradush.But there was nothing unusual about the much longer route Melissan was leading them on by sticking to the western-running Ithal Road.A more direct path between Saradush and Amkethran would have led them right through the heart of the Forest of Mir, or, as many of the locals called it, Khalamjiri—the place of deadly teeth.Even if it had been possible to somehow survive a journey through the lethal woods the more direct route would have emerged right at the base of the all-but-impassable Marching Mountains.In truth, the route Melissan had chosen was the only route they could have taken.Melissan had kept to the Ithal Road for the first four days.Only then, a full day's ride past the merchant city of Ithmong and just beyond the western tip of the Forest of Mir, did they turn to the south.Two more day's ride had brought them to the edge of the Calim desert, where the stress and strain of the long forced flight had been made even more torturous by a full day's ride through the burning heat of the endless sea of sand.Now Imoen's legs were stiff and aching, her muscles unused to clinging to the back of a horse for so many days without a break.Her rump was sore and blistered from rubbing against the saddle.Her fair skin was red and raw, burnt by the wind and the sun that was even now setting beyond the horizon.The meager rations of water they were allotted since entering the desert did nothing to stave off thirst.Mercifully, the ordeal would end soon.Since early afternoon she had been able to make out a gleaming marble edifice in the distance.That must be the monastery at Amkethran, Imoen thought.Melissan had explained that the monastery was run by a man named Balthazar and his monks.Balthazar, Melissan had promised, would provide the last refuge for Imoen—and Abdel, once he joined up with them.As the last light of day disappeared and the soothing cool of night settled in, the group at last reached their destination.Amkethran was, to Imoen's eyes, little more than a shantytown, nothing but a number of tents and baked mud homes built around the monastery.A crude two-story building that might have been a temple stood in one corner of the village.Riding through the dusty streets of the village Imoen couldn't help but notice the browned and leathered faces of those who toiled in the hard-scrabble environment of the desert.The paucity and insignificance of Amkethran was made even more noticeable by the towering white marble walls of the monastery on the eastern edge of the town.Thirty feet high, the perimeter defenses of Balthazar's fortified residence dwarfed the other structures.Though it threatened to make her legs cramp up, Imoen spurred her horse forward until she rode even with Melissan at the head of the company.

"This Balthazar sure likes to rub his fortune in the noses of these villagers," she whispered, appalled at the ostentatious display so blatantly shoved into the face of the abject poverty of Amkethran itself."Hush, child," Melissan cautioned."Beyond these walls Balthazar and his monks live a sparse, barren existence.These walls are for protection, not for show."Imoen blushed and turned her eyes to the ground.She admired Melissan.The tall woman was beautiful, strong, and wise.Men and women alike looked up to her.Imoen felt herself drawn to this mysterious woman who had become her protector.She felt herself constantly staring at the imposing figure in black, unable to take her eyes from Melissan's powerful, athletic form.Imoen loved the way Melissan dressed.Her dark clothing covering her entire body not only made her more mysterious, it also seemed to reject the stereotypical flashes of flesh most women used to attract the attentions of men.Imoen had wanted nothing more than to impress Melissan.That was the sole intent of her comments about Amkethran.Instead, she had stupidly embarrassed herself.Thankfully, Melissan had not noticed Imoen's shame—or at least, she had the decency to pretend not to notice.Imoen tried to save face by explaining her earlier comment."I just meant, well, did they have to build the monastery right on the eastern edge of the town?It casts a shadow over all of Amkethran.It must take hours before the first light of the morning sun even touches the villagers."Melissan tossed her head back and laughed, her raven tresses cascading down her back as she did so."You have the history of Amkethran somewhat backward, dear girl.

The monastery has stood here for many generations.It is the town that is new.And it is no accident that those few who choose to live here have built their homes beneath the shadow of the monastery."You have spent but one full day beneath the blazing sun of the Empires of the Sands," Melissan continued."Surely you can appreciate the relief even a few extra hours of shade each day would provide.You should watch what you say in the streets of Amkethran.Balthazar and his monks are held in high esteem by the people of this town."Chastened by Melissan's words, Imoen could only stammer out a feeble apology."I . . .I'm sorry, Melissan.I meant no disrespect."Melissan reached over to place her elegant hand reassuringly on Imoen's shoulder.The young girl felt a thrill at the noblewoman's touch."Your concern for the less fortunate is touching, Imoen.In this case it is misplaced, but you must never apologize for your instincts to help others.In my youth, I, too, shared your passions."Looking up into Melissan's eyes, Imoen saw a genuine and sincere compassion.Imoen wanted to say something else, but she was afraid of ruining the moment, and the moment was gone.The electric touch of Melissan's hand slipped from her shoulder, and the tall woman spurred her horse forward."I must go and see that the monks are prepared for our arrival," she called back over her shoulder."We can speak again inside the safety of the tower.

"Imoen watched Melissan gallop off, her eyes drawn to the glorious mane of jet-black hair streaming out behind the woman.* * * * *In the comfort of his dragon's den, among the company of his faithful pets, Abazigal fantasized about his future as a pure-blood wyrm.The respect commanded by true dragons, the mere glory of their very existence, would be his once Bhaal had been resurrected.Abazigal, once spurned as a half-breed, would be hailed as a hero by all of dragonkind as he led them to their true destiny as rulers of Faerun.He had come far since his humble beginnings.Abazigal remembered nothing of his dragon mother.Did she reject him as the abomination he was, or did she protect him and nurture him?It didn't matter.Her existence was nothing but an idealized concept, his link to the glory of dragonkind, and a way to deny the history of his youth.Abazigal's earliest memories were of his cruel master, the nameless wizard who had sought to unlock the secrets of dragons through torture and experiments.Abazigal had served as a slave to the sadistic mage, cleaning the laboratory, caring for the dragon's eggs the wizard had managed to steal, feeding the young hatchlings as they were born, and disposing of their mangled, broken bodies when the wizard's experiments went awry.He was often experimented on by the master, though the mage was careful never to bring about Abazigal's death.Dragon eggs he had by the dozens, but a half-breed, the link between man and wyrm, was a rare beast indeed.That was exactly how the master had treated Abazigal and the dragons he kept imprisoned in his lab, as beasts.The experiments of the wizard destroyed most of his subjects' minds, the dragons lucky enough to survive his torturous research were left little more than brutes—incapable of speech or spells, stripped of their magnificent intelligence by a sniveling human wizard who dared to use the wyrms for his own twisted purposes.Abazigal was no mindless brute, though he pretended to be an imbecile in the master's presence.His act resulted in many beatings and painful punishments for failing to follow even the simplest of instructions, but they were a small price to pay for maintaining the ruse.Believing him to be stupid and harmless, the wizard allowed Abazigal free run of the laboratory.While the mage studied the secrets of Abazigal and the dragons, Abazigal studied the wizard's own secrets.With his dragon mother's innate intelligence, Abazigal mastered the intricacies of sorcery, teaching himself over many, many years—all the while slaving beneath the master's heavy hand.Once he had learned all he could from the wizard, Abazigal turned on his captor.The mage's death was slow and painful.Abazigal extracted retribution for not only his own sufferings but the sufferings of the pure-blood dragons whose torture he had witnessed over the years.Every shattered egg, every dead hatchling, every wyrm that had been transformed into a dumb beast no longer worthy of the title "dragon" by the master was avenged in the wizard's agonizing end.Winning his freedom did not end Abazigal's responsibilities to the young dragons the wizard had imprisoned.A dozen wyrms still lived, all too mentally damaged to fend for themselves.Abazigal had adopted them as his own.He tried to restore their minds, to elevate them to their rightful status, but the damage done by the master was irreparable.Perhaps killing them all, aborting their pathetic existence, would have been the right thing to do, but Abazigal could not bring himself to destroy them, flawed as they were.

Instead, they became his pets, his army of quasi-dragons.Fiercely loyal, they served him without question to the best of their limited abilities.He was careful to hide the existence of his pets.If the true dragons learned of their existence, they might destroy them as an affront to the species.Yet Abazigal had allowed the greatest of his pets, a young but nearly full grown red, to participate in the siege of Saradush.His pet had done well, slaughtering dozens of the cowering Bhaalspawn during the battle.Part of Abazigal had hoped the battle would help the creature understand its own power.Part of him hoped it would not come back, choosing to try and survive on its own in the world, but instead, the young red had returned bearing a gift: a female half-elf.Abazigal knew the identity of the half-elf.She was the lover of Gorion's ward, and Abdel Adrian was coming for vengeance.No doubt he was currently trudging across the plains beneath the newly risen sun, following the path of Abazigal's pet toward the Alimir Mountains.Even if his enemy rode a horse, Abazigal knew, he would still be several days away.The wise course of action was to simply wait, bide his time until Abdel arrived, then unleash his pets on the Bhaalspawn.No single man, not even Bhaalspawn, could withstand the assault of a dozen dragons.Since his meeting with the council of dragons the previous morning, Abazigal was nearly out of patience.He had spent years suffering beneath the master's tyranny, futilely hoping he would learn some way to rid himself of his half-breed status.He had spent years plotting and conspiring with the foul drow Sendai and the rest of the Five to bring back their father.Now his greatest desire was nearly within his grasp.The sooner Abdel Adrian was dead, the sooner Bhaal would return and grant Abazigal true dragon status.Then Saladrex would support his plan to restore dragons to their rightful place.With a sharp, hissing whistle Abazigal grabbed the attention of his pets."Find Abdel," he said slowly so their damaged minds could process his instructions."Seek him out on the plains to the north.When you find him, kill him."One by one the dozen young wyrms who served Abazigal leaped from the mouth of his great cavern, eager as ever to do his bidding.Gathering speed, their great bodies rumbled across the plateau where Abazigal had built his lair, charging toward the sheer cliffs that fell away from the mountain peak on all sides.

Screaming their hunting cries, their bodies plunged over the precipice, hurtling toward the ground below.At the last second they pulled out of the steep dive and arced high into the early morning sky, their calls still echoing throughout the mountains.Abazigal watched them go, as magnificent as any true dragons he had ever witnessed.Soon Abazigal himself would be one of them.* * * * *Abdel had passed the entire night without sleeping.His body, weary and battered from his battle with Sarevok, felt fresh and energized once again as the first rays of dawn peeked through the mountaintops to illuminate the entrance of his cave.Then he heard them—the unmistakable cries of a dragon in flight.He burst from the cave, scanning the skies for the beast.To his amazement he saw not one dragon, but nearly a dozen.Their enormous bodies dropped like stones from the top of a nearby peak, then swooped up and away.Abdel, fascinated by the spectacle, could only stand and watch.The dragons flew off to the north, oblivious to the human standing a short distance to the south watching their progress.When the final wyrm disappeared on the horizon, Abdel set off toward the peak they had launched themselves from, certain he would find Abazigal there, and hopefully Jaheira as well.If he had any hope of saving his lover, he would have to find her and escape before the army of dragons returned.It took less than an hour for Abdel to reach the base of Abazigal's mountain enclave, but the most difficult part of his journey was still ahead—a thousand feet straight up the sheer rock face.Studying the obstacle before him, Abdel could make out a number of small ledges and jutting rock formations large enough for a man to stand on.These were few and far between.Scaling the mountain would mean free climbing with no chance to stop and rest.Even Abdel's own godlike endurance had limits, and he was about to test them fully.Hoping his healing abilities could save him should he fall, Abdel began the ascent.Any ordinary man foolish enough to even attempt the climb would have surely plunged to his death long before reaching the first ledge, unable to push his body through the tremendous physical strain of literally crawling up the side of an unassailable mountain.Abdel had the strength necessary to drag himself ever higher.His powerful hands found holds in the countless tiny cracks and fissures that covered the cliff wall.His boots scrabbled and scratched at the hard surface, seeking and finding footholds in the rough stone.Often he was forced to support his entire weight with a single arm, hauling his massive body up until the sweat-slicked, groping fingers of his free hand were able to fasten onto a tiny outcropping of stone higher up the mountain.Again and again his limbs fought against fatigue as he dangled hundreds of feet above the rocks below, but each time the essence of his immortal father gave him the endurance to press on and up to the next ledge where he could stop and allow his body a few minutes to recuperate.The higher he climbed, the more difficult the trial became.

The atmosphere grew thin, and Abdel found himself gasping for breath.The cold air of the mountain's upper reaches chilled his limbs, making them stiff and heavy.A sheen of icy frost coated everything, seeping into the crevices he used to pull himself along and making his grip slip and slide.When he finally slung his leg up over the ledge of the plateau at the summit, the sun was at its zenith.The climb had taken him well over three hours, time Abdel was afraid he couldn't spare.Determined as he was to rescue Jaheira, he had no illusions about what would happen if all the dragons returned at once to find him atop their mountain lair.He had barely survived an encounter with a single of the winged monsters—a dozen would shred him to bits.In the center of the plateau was a great, gaping hole—an entrance to the miles of passages, caves, and caverns descending deep into the mountain's heart.Somewhere in the rock labyrinth, Abdel prayed, he would find Jaheira.He drew his heavy broadsword from the sheath on his back and marched toward the cavern's entrance.Before he reached his destination, a single figure emerged from the pit and stood to face him.The thing was shaped like a man, but its skin was patched with multicolored scales.Its head was smooth and hairless, its eyes reptilian in appearance."I did not expect you ssso sssoon," it hissed, a serpentine tongue flicking from its mouth as it spoke."Even now my petsss are out hunting for you in the plainsss to the north.""I have come for Jaheira," Abdel said, brandishing his sword as he bargained for his lover."Return her to me and I will leave.""Your lover isss no more," the monster hissed at him."I sssaw her lassst breath myssself."The lizard thing laughed, and Abdel could no longer deny the awful truth.Jaheira was dead.Numb with grief, he could only shake his head in helpless denial.Images of her grisly end came unbidden to his mind, spurred on by the memory of his last image of Jaheira writhing in the dragon's grasp.In his mind's eye he could see her beautiful features twisted in relentless agony as she was crushed within the dragon's ruthless grip, her bones snapping like kindling.He imagined her head thrown back in a soundless scream as one of the beast's savage talons pierced her armor and chest, impaling her frail body even as she was frozen by the icy winds of the dragon's flight."No!"

"Ssshe died in pain.And then I gave her to my petsss.They ripped her apart and devoured her mangled corpssse pieccce by pieccce!""No!"Abdel's scream ripped the sky, the very mountain trembled beneath the fury of his outrage.Had he the words, he would have vowed a million excruciating deaths upon Abazigal to avenge his fallen lover.But words rarely came to Abdel.He was a man of actions."Your half-elf isss dead, Abdel Adrian," Abazigal replied mockingly."Asss are you."The creature's taloned hands began to weave the arcane patterns of sorcery in the air, and he began to recite the words of a spell.Abdel leaped toward the monster, determined to hack the reptilian sorcerer down before he could complete his incantation.Three bounding strides brought Abdel in range.Spinning to build momentum he slashed his sword at the creature's neck, intending to avenge Jaheira's death by beheading his foe with a single blow.His sword deflected mere inches from the beast's throat, ricocheting harmlessly as it struck some unseen, impregnable sorcerer's shield.Lightning flared from the creature's clawed fingers and struck the big sellsword square in the chest, blowing Abdel backward through the air and nearly sending him over the plateau's ledge.Abdel landed less than a yard from the cliff's edge, then leaped to his feet and dived out of the path of a second blast of lightning that would have sent him plummeting over the precipice.He ducked and dodged the onslaught of electrical bolts, slowly working his way ever closer to his enemy The wizard didn't seem to care that Abdel was steadily closing the distance between them.Just before Abdel got himself within range to try another swipe of his sword, the creature vanished.Abdel spun around, certain his foe would reappear directly behind him, but the lizardlike mage was now standing on the far side of the plateau, already invoking another spell.Abdel heard a terrible roaring from above and just barely managed to dive clear of the column of flame plunging down on him from the sky.Abdel screamed in pain as the terrible heat blistered and seared his skin.As with the dragon's breath, the injuries inflicted by the fire did not heal.Badly wounded, Abdel slowly struggled to his feet, only to be knocked to the ground by another lightning blast."You have no chance, Abdel Adrian," his enemy hissed."Your crude warrior's skills are no match for my sssorcery.

"As he lay on the ground, singed and no longer even able to stand, Abdel knew Abazigal spoke the truth.Chapter SixteenImoen shifted from side to side on the thin straw mattress that served as her bed.Melissan had not been exaggerating when she claimed the monks within the monastery lived a sparse, barren existence.Apart from the none-too-comfortable sleeping mat, there were no furnishings in Imoen's room.The walls were smooth, bare, white stone—just like every other wall she had seen since entering the sanctuary.Imoen had been surprised to find the interior of the monastery was nothing more than a collection of single-story stone barracks lining either side of a large, open courtyard.In the center of the courtyard was a single stone tower, just slightly shorter than the thirty foot walls surrounding Balthazar's simple keep.Melissan had introduced her to two of the order's members, Brother Regund and Brother Lysus.Imoen found herself fascinated by the intricate tattoos covering the shaved heads and faces of the two men.She was dying to ask the significance of the glorious designs, certain they carried some deep religious significance.Remembering how she had embarrassed herself in front of Melissan with her earlier erroneous observations and comments about Balthazar and the monastery, she was willing to let her curiosity go unsatisfied.Balthazar, the monks had explained after the brief introduction, was temporarily unavailable.They had assured Melissan that they would see to Imoen's comfort and safety to the best of their abilities.It seemed to Imoen as if Melissan had found Balthazar's absence particularly troubling, but the tall woman had merely nodded her head in acceptance of the news."Go with these men," she had reassured Imoen."They will take you somewhere safe.I have business to attend to, but I will come see to your comfort once I am free."Though she was reluctant to leave Melissan's side, Imoen had followed the two men without protest into the solitary tower jutting up from the center of the courtyard.They led her through the tower's only door and up a long staircase to the windowless second floor.The floor consisted of nothing but a long, dark hallway and open doors that led into half a dozen rooms—all empty except for a single torch and the straw mats Imoen now struggled to find a comfortable position on."Here in the meditation rooms you can rest without fear," Brother Regund had assured her."The members of our order will patrol the entrance to the lower floor to ensure your safety" Brother Lysus had added."We will see that no one disturbs you until Balthazar has returned.Our leader will be most eager to speak with you.".And on that rather ominous note, they had left her alone.Time passed slowly for Imoen when she was by herself.

If the austere surroundings were supposed to inspire peace and contemplation, they weren't working for her.In fact they seemed to have the opposite effect.She was restless and bored, her quick and curious mind anxious to find anything to draw its attention.Without the benefit of windows to see the passing of the moon outside, Imoen couldn't even estimate how long she had been cooped up here.An hour?Four?She wished again that Melissan would come up to visit her.The taller woman had mentioned something about speaking to Imoen once they were safe inside, but she hadn't come to check on Imoen yet.Perhaps she was busy with more important matters.Or maybe, Imoen suddenly thought, the monks below would not allow Melissan inside the tower until Balthazar had returned.The idea seemed preposterous at first glance, but the more she considered it the more plausible it seemed.Imoen had assumed that Melissan and she were guests, but the more she thought about the words and actions of the monks who had greeted them upon their arrival the more Imoen began to suspect she might be a prisoner.Something about the guards had made Imoen nervous.Their strange tattoos had unnerved her, but it was more than that.Their words were spoken without emotion or feeling.Their faces were lined with intense focus and concentration, but Imoen couldn't even began to guess what the object of their attentions might be.Their eyes didn't roam across her body like those of other men.They didn't even sneak quick peeks at her when they thought she wouldn't notice.When they looked at Imoen, they stared directly into her eyes, as if they were peering into her very soul.In many ways, Imoen realized, the monks reminded her of Sarevok.Determined, intense, inscrutable, and cold.Not really alive, but merely going through the motions of life.As if the passions and fires of the world could not touch them.Imoen shivered.The monks were religious fanatics, she decided.That was what bothered her.They served some higher purpose, some unknown code of belief she would never understand, and now she was in their power, trapped inside this inescapable tower until the mysterious Balthazar arrived to . . .No.

Imoen shook her head and laughed.It was preposterous.Bored with the dull surroundings, her mind was working overtime.Fashioning bizarre conspiracies out of the thinnest of threads.Melissan wouldn't have brought them here if she felt there was any danger.No, Imoen decided, she was not a prisoner.Still, she had to admit, the monks were odd.Her guards' fanatical obedience to some unknown higher authority that had so troubled Imoen only moments before now reassured her.There was no chance one of them would creep up later while she slept to paw at her with filthy hands.More importantly, she knew she didn't have to worry about these men betraying her for gold or out of a mad hunger for power.In her situation—hunted, hated, alone except for Melissan, a woman she didn't even really know—Imoen realized the religious devotion of Regund, Lysus, and their comrades might be the best protection she could hope for.She shifted once more on her sleeping mat.Her body ached from the long ride across the desert.She felt fatigue in her muscles and joints.Even her bones were tired.Her mind, exhausted by the convoluted track of suspicions and reassurances it had just traversed, finally grew quiet.Lying still, Imoen felt the silence of the tower seeping into her body and spirit.She welcomed the peace it offered, and within seconds Imoen was snoring softly.* * * * *With the climbing claws strapped to her hands, Sendai scaled the smooth marble walls of Amkethran's monastery as easily as most women would ascend a gently sloping set of steps.At the top she crouched low and scampered along the edge of wall, oblivious to the thirty-foot drop on either side.She moved without a sound, silent as a shadow.The courtyard below was bathed in darkness, but the drow's eyes were able to study the layout of the buildings and the placement of the guards.Several of Balthazar's monks were standing at full attention near the base of a tall tower in the center of the compound.Had her target been a drow matriarch, Sendai would instantly have dismissed the tower as too obvious.

That was how the drow mind worked.The guards would be mere bait to lure her into the structure that would then collapse and kill them all.She knew surface dwellers were simple folk, that they were not devious enough to set such a trap.Or perhaps they merely lacked the will to sacrifice dozens of their own followers' lives to catch an assassin.Whatever the explanation, Sendai could not help but feel her talents were wasted and unappreciated by these pale-skinned amateurs.Back in Ched Nassad, the Underdark city of her birth, the professional assassin had been respected and feared for her talents—not vilified and scorned.As she studied the movements and positions of the guards, plotting how she would slip past them and into the tower, Sendai couldn't quell the anger stirred up by the recollections of her homeland.Anger for all she had lost.A daughter in the minor noble house of Kenafin, she had been born with the character traits of most drow females: She was ambitious, ruthless, sadistic.Sendai was also wise enough to see that her chances of political advancement were slim.She lacked the devotion to Lolth required of a priestess.So she had chosen a different path to make her name, though one perfectly acceptable in drow culture.It hadn't taken long before Sendai's considerable skills in discreetly eliminating her foes and rivals drew the attention of Ched Nassad's more powerful matriarchs.Just barely past her twentieth year, she had already become the darling of the ruling mothers.Each sought to use her for their own purposes.They tried to entice her loyalty with offers of power, slaves, and wealth.In typical drow fashion, Sendai had managed to play the dangerous game of serving no one house in particular, maximizing her opportunities—and her enemies.Sendai, young as she was by drow standards, had already become a master of the political game.She managed to avoid the pitfalls, forming alliances when necessary and breaking them when it proved advantageous.In Ched Nassad the name of the assassin Sendai was often whispered as a rising star, worthy of both fear and respect.The priestesses had ruined it all.The Spider Queen was a jealous god, she would brook no rivals in her domination of drow society.Knowing this, Sendai had kept her father's identity secret.Any of her close family who could have exposed her had already tasted the edge of her poisoned blade, including her mother.In the Underdark secrets are many, and none can stay buried for long.Somehow the Temple learned of her tainted Bhaalspawn blood, and the priestesses came to take her to their interrogation chambers to test her loyalty.Sendai had experienced torture in her young life—it was almost inevitable given the nature of drow society.

But she was not about to submit herself to the unimaginable sufferings of the Matron Mothers.Not when their interrogations would likely end with the decision that the offspring of Bhaal was too dangerous to live among them.So Sendai had fled.She spent a year as a fugitive, moving from Ched Nassad to Menzoberranzan to Ust Natha, seeking some corner of the Underdark where she might find refuge from the priestesses' pursuit.The web of the Spider Queen wove its reach through every city and noble house of drow society, and finally Sendai had been forced to flee the Underdark, exchanging the glorious world of caverns and tunnels for painfully bright and open skies.There Bhaal's Anointed had found her and offered her the chance to join the Five.The opportunity seemed like a task worthy of Sendai's considerable skill—slay the Bhaalspawn, assassinate the offspring of a god, but the idea was far more grand than the actual act.Most of Sendai's targets were not even aware of their immortal heritage.They lived petty, pointless lives.Ending their existence was almost a favor.Even the nobles and powerful merchants in the surface dwellers' society were easy prey and did little to sate her lust for a challenge.Sendai fought a never-ending battle against complacency, fearing her skills would atrophy or her technique would become sloppy.She needed to stay in top form, for once the Five had eliminated the last of the Bhaalspawn, she intended to turn her poisoned blade on her co-conspirators.There was a challenge worthy of her, a true test of her abilities.Every assassination until then was nothing but a pale imitation of the artistry she knew she was capable of.The drow, her dark skin and clothes virtually invisible atop the monastery wall, shook her head in disgust.In the past she would have never let her mind wander while in the middle of a job.More proof she was losing her edge.She refocused on the task at hand and leaped from the wall.She landed softly on the ground, absorbing the impact by tucking into a ball and rolling through the momentum of the thirty-foot fall.She sprang to her feet to see if any of the guards had heard the faint noise of her unorthodox entrance.For several seconds she stood still, her keen drow ears straining to pick up the sound of an alarm or feet rushing over to investigate.Hearing nothing, she approached the tower.Sticking to the shadows and dark corners, she crossed the courtyard right beneath the noses of the monks standing guard, invisible as a ghost.She couldn't help but laugh silently at their earnest, ineffective vigilance.The two monks by the tower's only door were more problematic.Their deaths had to be quick and silent, lest they alert the others.

The hooded lanterns the sentries held in each hand complicated her task.Twin beams of light shot out from the burning lanterns, cutting across the courtyard and clearly visible to all the other guards patrolling the area.If anything happened to those beams of light—if one of the lanterns was dropped, even for an instant—someone was sure to notice and come over to investigate.Standing motionless in a dark shadow not ten feet from the tower entrance, Sendai briefly considered the best way to eliminate the monks without alerting the entire order to her presence.Moving slowly so as not to reveal herself, she drew two tiny feathered needles from her belt.From another hidden pouch she produced a small crystal vial.She removed the stopper and cautiously dipped the tip of each needle into the clear liquid.Taking great care to not accidentally prick herself with the poisoned darts, she placed the first needle in her open palm.She brought her hand up to her lips and gave a single soft puff of air, sending the dart silently on its way toward the closest monk.Another gentle breath sent the next dart on its way toward the second target.Sendai waited for a few seconds to give the poison time to work, then slipped from the concealment of the cloaking shadows and made a quick dash to the cover of the tower door.Safely hidden from sight once again, she paused and listened.There were no cries of surprise, no shouts of "intruder," nothing to indicate anyone had noticed the slim figure that had infiltrated the monastery.Confident she had not been seen, Sendai turned her attention to the guards standing motionless next to her.This close, she could see her darts had both found their marks.She deftly plucked the tiny weapons from the necks of the paralyzed guards and replaced them in her belt.The eyes of the monks followed her motions, but every other muscle in their bodies was rigidly locked in position.Their partly extended arms still held the lanterns, their unresponsive fingers still wrapped tightly around the handle.Soon the poison—a derivative of the drow sleeping poison that Sendai had devised herself—would work its way to their heart and lungs.The muscles pumping blood and oxygen through the monks' bodies would seize up, become as rigid as the other muscles in their motionless forms.The guards would slowly suffocate where they stood, unable to call for help, unable to even collapse in a heap once they died.Sendai knew from previous experience that the frozen fingers of their corpses would have to be broken off to make them release their grip on the lanterns.Either that, or the lanterns could be buried with them.The macabre thought brought a slight smile to Sendai's face, and she slipped silently up the stairs to complete her mission.As she had suspected, Sendai found no guards inside the tower.The lower level was deserted.Without a sound, dagger drawn, the drow assassin crept to the chamber at the top of the stairs.

The doors were all closed, the hallway dark and empty, except for one of the heavy portals.The soft light of a burning torch seeped out from underneath.Sendai approached the door and listened, her keen ears picking up the distinctive sound of a young woman's soft breath.With a touch so delicate as to be almost imagined, Sendai gently opened the door.The orange glow of the flickering torch forced the dark elf to avert her eyes, but not before she noticed the young woman resting on the sleeping mat in the center of the room.Shielding her eyes against the firelight, Sendai slipped across the room and extinguished the torch.The darkness was absolute.* * * * *Imoen woke with a start, her breath escaping in a terrified gasp.She was surrounded by darkness, and beneath her she felt only a cold, unyielding surface.She had half scrambled to her feet before she remembered where she was, safe in the meditation rooms of the Amkethran monastery.The faintly burning torch must have gone out when she had drifted off to sleep.The young woman tried to laugh off her momentary panic, but she could only muster a half-hearted, nervous giggle.She had been having a nightmare.That much she remembered.The exact nature of the dream, however, she couldn't recall."Fire," she whispered to herself.Most of her nightmares were of fire, the devouring flames of her unholy, immortal father.She wondered if Abdel ever dreamed of such a blaze.She shook her head to dispel such gloomy musings and tried to get her bearings in the absolute darkness of the room.She took her best guess at the direction of the torch, then took a single hesitant step.Imoen froze.Someone was in the room with her.Imoen didn't hear anything, there was nothing to hear.She felt someone watching her with great interest.She could feel the heat of her gaze, she could sense the lusting in her eyes.

For a brief second her mind conjured up an image of Brothers Regund and Lysus, standing motionless in the dark and leering at her as she stumbled unawares around the room."Who's there?"she whispered, as if she could dispel the intruder with her soft words."Do not be afraid," a husky female voice whispered."You will feel no pain.""Melissan?"Imoen asked, knowing full well the tall woman was not the speaker.The invisible intruder laughed gently."No, my pretty Bhaalspawn.She is conveniently absent."Imoen understood."You are one of the Five."There was no fear in her voice, no anger.Only weary acceptance.She had not expected it to end like this, but she was ready to face whatever destiny fate held in store."I am Sendai," the voice purred, drawing closer.Imoen hesitated a heartbeat, her fingers stealthily wrapping themselves around the hilt of the dagger tucked into her belt.She could try to scream, but what would that accomplish?Even if anyone heard her through the thick stone walls of the room, could they get here in time to save her?No, Imoen decided as she slowly drew her knife.She was on her own.Melissan would not come charging through the door at the last second to save her.Abdel would not suddenly arrive at the monastery and rush to her rescue.

"Imoen felt the blade plunge into her back, skewering vital organs as the assassin struck with uncanny, lethal accuracy.Her screams of agony were nothing but a silent rush of air and a faint gurgle of blood as Sendai mercifully slit her throat.Chapter SeventeenAbdel's entire existence had become a world of pain.Fire rained down on him from the sky.It erupted from the ground to consume him.It arced in jets from the fingers of his tormentor to sear and melt his flesh.Above the roaring blaze he could hear Abazigal's laughter as the scaly skinned mage fed the conflagration devouring Abdel's body and soul.Then suddenly the fire stopped, winking out of existence.Abdel, his eyes shut tight against the heat, peeked from beneath his blistered lids.Abazigal's body lay beside him on the hard rock of the plateau.The wizard's reptilian head lay several feet away.Standing over them both was Sarevok, the blades on his forearms dripping with the green blood of the mage.Abdel tried to speak, though he didn't know what he would say.His scorched throat could only manage a feeble cracking cough.Hampered by his heavy plate armor, Sarevok crouched down with difficulty beside Abdel."The dragons are returning," he said simply."Already I see their mighty forms on the horizon.They will rend us limb from limb if we do not escape."Unable to reply, Abdel could only shake his head.He could hear the shrieking screams of the enraged dragons reverberating across the mountain plateau, growing steadily louder as the wyrms drew ever closer.But he was too badly injured to even stand, let alone attempt the treacherous descent.Sarevok seemed to understand."You can escape into Bhaal's realm," the armored warrior explained."You have done it before, when you killed Illasera and Yaga Shura.You are weaker now, and it will be more difficult.

You must allow yourself to be drawn there by the essence of Bhaal as it flees Abazigal's dead body.It will lead you to the plane of our father.There your body will be restored, and the dragons cannot follow you."Too weak to argue, Abdel closed his eyes and tried to do as Sarevok had instructed.He could feel it, a faint tug on his innermost being like a zephyr of wind on a still summer day.Abdel focused on the sensation, and the zephyr became a breeze.The breeze became a gale, the gale a hurricane.Abdel felt his soul snatched up by the roaring spirit wind and opened his eyes in surprise.For a brief second he was still lying on the ground, the decapitated remains of Abazigal beside him.Sarevok stood several yards away, his body braced to meet the onslaught of the dragons alighting all around them.A pair of taloned feet struck the ground next to Abdel's head.He could smell the terrible scent of the wyrm's fury as it investigated the corpse of its master.As one, the assembled dragons screamed, but Abdel never heard the sound.The material world had already begun to dissolve.Abdel found himself prostrate on cool, brown dirt.His body was still covered in burns, but he could feel it healing.Within seconds he felt strong enough to stand.He was back in the Abyssal realm of Bhaal.The great empty plains still stretched before him, but somehow they looked less barren.The earth was a dark, fertile brown, and in the sky were wisps of what might have been rain clouds beginning to form.Before him stood the familiar free-standing doors, but now they numbered only three.The big sellsword cared little for the magical or mystical, but even he could plainly see what was happening to this world.With the death of the Bhaalspawn, the Lord of Murder's essence was returning to the Abyssal plane from which it had first been born.The dead world was slowly being resurrected—though what hideous forms of life might sprout up in the accursed realm was anyone's guess.He heard the sound of someone walking behind him and spun to face his unknown companion.Abdel didn't know who or what to expect.

Had Sarevok followed him?Perhaps it was the spirit of the recently slain Abazigal, whose spirit had led Abdel here.Maybe it was the other star-covered being, waiting to taunt him with more maddening prophecies or eager to offer more shrouded, secretive, useless advice.Whatever awaited him, Abdel was ready for anything.Except what he saw."Jaheira!"The half-elf smile at him."I prayed to Mielikki you would come before it was too late," she whispered.Abdel pulled her close, clutching her to his chest, relentlessly pressing himself into her body as if he hoped they would become one and he might never lose her again."I thought you were dead," he said, tears of relief streaming down his face.The druid clung to him as fiercely as he clung to her, but when she spoke her voice was filled with grief."I am dead, Abdel.That is why I am here."Reluctantly Abdel loosened his grip so that he could look into his lover's eyes and see if she was joking.What he saw was a longing so deep it made his heart want to rend itself in two."You ... are you a ghost?"She brushed her long, delicate fingers across his brow, smoothing out the wrinkles of confusion on Abdel's forehead.Her touch was warm and soothing."This is but my spirit, my love.My body is no more, though in this world my spirit is as real as my physical self was on the material plane.""No!"Abdel declared, his voice rising in angry denial as he pulled Jaheira's taut, muscular form tight against his own."No, this cannot be!"The half-elf nestled her head against Abdel's powerful chest.

The soft pleas of Jaheira caused the big sellsword to freeze in midstride.Part of Abdel knew what she was about to say."Even if you can perform the ritual to restore me, what will that accomplish?You have seen Sarevok.He is not truly alive anymore.He is a thing, cold and passionless, without emotion.Is that what you would wish for me?"Abdel dropped his head and turned back to face his lover, desperate tears burning his eyes."Maybe Sarevok was like that to begin with.Maybe you will be as you always were."With a wan smile, Jaheira walked slowly over to him."No, my love.This is not nature's way.My time on that world has passed, and my time on this one grows short.Share this time with me, Abdel.Do not waste it with frantic plans and foolish wishes that cannot be fulfilled.Let us just enjoy the little time we have left."She reached out, and her touch caused Abdel's skin to tingle.His blood boiled with desire, and he reached out with trembling hands to peel away the simple tunic Jaheira wore, exposing his lover's breasts before pulling her close.Jaheira's fingers slid beneath the scraps of his charred shirt still hanging from his shoulders and traced a sensuous path down Abdel's powerful back, caressing his muscles before tearing away the tattered remains of his breeches.Abdel took her there, in the soft brown earth of Bhaal's realm.

Their love making was savage and primal, fuelled by urgent desire and the fierce longing brought on by the knowledge of their imminent separation.Above them lightning crackled, and thunder rolled as the skies burst, dousing them with the shock of chill rains that couldn't quell their desperate passion.When they were finished, they lay side by side in the cool mud, letting the downpour wash their bodies clean.Jaheira snuggled up against Abdel, pressing herself into the crook of his arm and drawing on her lover's heat to ease the shivering of her naked form.Physically spent, exhausted by their furious copulation, Abdel held his half-elf lover and pretended they would be together forever.The rains ceased, and their soaking bodies slowly dried beneath the empty night sky of the Abyssal plane.How many hours they spent together taking comfort in the simple closeness of each other, Abdel could not say.An eternity would have seemed but an instant to him, no length of time would ever be enough to justify the unfairness of having to ever let his lover go.It was Jaheira who finally broke their embrace."I can stay no longer," she apologized as she tried to get up."I must leave."Clutching her firmly but gently by the wrist, Abdel kept her from standing."How can this be?"he asked, staring up into her violet eyes as she crouched overtop of him."How can I go on without you?"The half-elf bent to kiss him deep on the lips, then softly pulled herself away."You will find a way, Abdel.You must.Do not let my death poison you against the world," the half-elf warned."If you let hate and regret consume your mind, the foul essence of Bhaal will swallow your soul.""I don't want to be alone," he whispered."You won't always be alone," she assured him."There will be others.Other friends.

Other lovers."The big sellsword shook his head."No.Not like you.Never like you."The half-elf smiled again, though her eyes were sad."I loved you Abdel, as I loved no other man.But I also loved my husband Khalid as I loved no other man.Someday I hope you will find another to share your love, as I have, but that will not diminish what we have shared."With a despondent sigh, Abdel rose to stand beside her."You are my strength and my wisdom, Jaheira.Without you, I am lost.I cannot face the world alone.Without you I am nothing.""You are Abdel Adrian: hero of Baldur's Gate, savior of the Tree of Life, son of Bhaal, ward of Gorion, lover of Jaheira," the half-elf replied simply."You are who you are, Abdel, and nothing will change that.The way before you will be difficult, the tunnel of your future is long and dark.But if you remember who and what you are, I am confident you will emerge in the light on the other side.""Will I ever see you again?"Abdel asked, frightened at what the answer might be.Jaheira planted a kiss on his chest.

Her lips were cold, bringing goose bumps to Abdel's exposed skin."Such questions not even the gods can answer, my love."Her voice sounded distant, as if she was speaking to him across a great chasm."No!"Abdel cried out reaching to grab hold of his lover."No, not yet!Don't go yet!"His hands passed through Jaheira as if she was nothing but mist."No!"he screamed as the half-elf began to fade away before his eyes, vanishing like a column of smoke dissipating on the breeze.Her body was dissolving, whisked away by some force Abdel could neither see nor stop nor comprehend.Just before all trace of her features vanished, Jaheira spoke the last words Abdel would ever hear from her lips."I love you, Abdel Adrian.Forever."Abdel clutched one last time at the vanishing wisp of wind, then collapsed to his knees.Jaheira was gone, and he was alone in his father's realm, sobbing uncontrollably and clawing at the damp, dark earth in grief and anger.Chapter EighteenThe sun had yet to climb high enough to crest the monastery's marble walls, but Melissan was already up.Balthazar had not yet turned up, despite the many reassurances of his followers that his arrival was imminent.Her own extensive investigation of the premises had not turned up the missing monk either.Melissan was beginning to grow suspicious.She had learned long ago not to trust anyone.Many times the Bhaalspawn she had chosen to save in the past had betrayed her.She had known Balthazar for many years, ever since the Five had first come into existence.He had been her most powerful ally throughout all her efforts.Because of this she consented to allow Imoen to be separated from her when they arrived at Amkethran's monastery.

Now, with Balthazar still absent, Melissan had her doubts.When she discovered the dead guards at the foot of the tower, still standing rigidly in position, it merely confirmed what she had most feared.The tall woman bounded up the steps two at a time, already knowing what she would find at the top of the stairs.Imoen's throat had been slit and her heart cut out.The mark of the drow assassin Sendai was carved into her forehead.Looking at the gruesome corpse, Melissan knew not even the most powerful cleric in Tethyr would be able to restore Imoen to life.Sendai had defiled her corpse, she had polluted the remains with foul poisons, and she had sucked what little immortal essence remained from Imoen's soul.Somehow she had done all this right beneath Melissan's nose.The tall woman knew Sendai was long gone.The drow would never allow herself to be caught above ground during the light of day.A shiver ran down the tall woman's long spine nonetheless.Melissan had not even been aware Sendai was on the prowl.There had been no warning of the slaughter.Melissan knew that could only mean one thing.Balthazar and Sendai were working together, plotting against her.She whispered a silent curse at not having foreseen this outcome.She had grown careless, allowing herself to believe of all her allies, Balthazar would be the last to turn on her.She had foolishly thought the monks could protect Imoen until Abdel returned from destroying Abazigal.Imoen had suffered the ultimate consequence for Melissan's naive faith in Balthazar's loyalty.With Imoen dead, Sendai would go after Abdel next.Once Gorion's ward was slain, the work of the Five would be all but complete.Their last task before attempting to raise Bhaal once again, Melissan realized, would be to kill her.She heard a commotion from down below.Some of the other monks had discovered the paralyzed corpses of their brethren.Melissan suddenly realized how much immediate danger she was in.It was unlikely Balthazar would be able to corrupt the entire order.

They would not willingly aid him if they knew he was allied with a drow assassin.But the monks would never think to question their enlightened brother's leadership without blatant proof of his foul betrayal.If Balthazar lied to them, they would simply accept his words as truth.If he told them Melissan was working with the Five, they would accept it as fact without considering Balthazar's own role in Imoen's death.If the monks found her here now, standing over the mutilated corpse of the one they had sworn to protect. . .Melissan could hear the sound of many feet cautiously ascending the steps.She was no longer the only one who had noticed the rigid corpses of Brothers Regund and Lysus.The monks moved warily, expecting to find the enemy who had slain the guards by the door still within the building.She could hear their plodding progress.They moved without urgency, knowing there were no windows in the upper floor, no way out of the tower but the stairs that were now lined with a dozen of the religious warriors.Cursing herself for not foreseeing Balthazar's treachery, Melissan muttered a quick incantation.Her form shimmered and disappeared, her body and all her clothes and items becoming ethereal.No longer anchored to the material world, Melissan's incorporeal spirit simply passed through the floor, sinking slowly to the ground below.Invisible and unsubstantial, she drifted across the courtyard and through the marble walls, then wandered unseen through the all-but-deserted streets of Amkethran.She did not allow the spell to end until she found a strong mount capable of carrying her swiftly across the desert.Sendai and Balthazar were working together now, and Melissan did not have the power to stand against them, but Abdel might, if he yet lived.Melissan was intent on preserving his life if at all possible.She had to try and warn the big sellsword that Sendai would try to kill him.Even now the drow was probably preparing an ambush somewhere between here and the Alimir Mountains where Abazigal made his lair.If Abdel was still alive he would be heading toward Amkethran and right into Sendai's trap.Knowing the drow already had half the previous night as a head start, Melissan spurred her steed into a quick gallop, leaving the shoddy tents of Amkethran and the imposing marble walls of the monastery far behind.* * * * *He felt empty and numb.Abdel's grief slipped into the ground and loam beneath his fists.It poured out of him in tears and wails of anguish, and now there was nothing left inside.His spirit was hollow, his naked body an empty shell.Abdel filled the void with the only thing he had left— thoughts of vengeance.He no longer cared about the fate of his Bhaalspawn kin.It no longer mattered to him if Bhaal returned and ravaged the land, or if the Lord of Murder stayed dead forever.

Jaheira's death had liberated him, freed him from the confusion and moral turmoil that came with being at the center of such epic events.Abdel's life had become very, very simple.He would kill the Five for what they had done to Jaheira.Beyond that nothing mattered.He couldn't avenge her death here, wallowing in the dirt of Bhaal's realm.Abdel Adrian rose to his feet and stepped through the nearest of the three remaining doors.He found himself alone on the plateau just outside the entrance to Abazigal's lair.By the position of the sun, Abdel guessed he had been gone for several hours, though an entire night had passed in the Abyssal plane.All around him were the signs of a great battle.Abdel stood in the aftermath of Sarevok's confrontation with Abazigal's hoard.Along with Abazigal's decapitated form, half a dozen great dragon carcasses were strewn about the blood-soaked battlefield.Their corpses were scarred and disfigured by deep, ragged gashes from the blades forged onto Sarevok's arms and legs, or horribly gouged and gored by the terrible spikes jutting from the dark warrior's knees and elbows.Sarevok himself was gone.Scattered around the dragons' remains were bits and pieces of his armor, rent asunder by mighty talons, or charred and blackened by the fire and acid spewed forth from the jaws of Sarevok's enemies.At Abdel's feet lay the armored warrior's visored helm, cloven nearly in two.There was no sign of Sarevok's body.Abdel wasn't surprised.The victorious dragons would have devoured the flesh of their defeated foe—if there was even anything to devour.After his encounter with Jaheira's departing soul, Abdel couldn't help but wonder if Sarevok had been anything more than a suit of armor animated by a disembodied spirit.Whatever Sarevok might have been, man or ghost, the evidence of his grisly end was indisputable.The many fallen corpses of the serpent horde attested to the legendary battle Sarevok must have fought before he succumbed to their overwhelming numbers.Had Abdel's emotions not been purged from his heart by Jaheira's death, he might have shed a tear for Sarevok's noble sacrifice.His half brother had saved his life, slaying Abazigal and then standing alone against the dragons while Abdel had retreated into the safety of Bhaal's nether world.But Abdel had no more use for legendary heroics.In the bloody aftermath smeared across the plateau, Sarevok was still dead, and the dragons, bereft of their master, were gone.Yet Abdel lived.He shivered as a cold blast of wind swept across the plateau, and he realized he was naked, his clothes reduced to ashes by Abazigal's fiery magic.He scoured the battlefield, searching for anything to cover his exposed body.

In the end, he was forced to strip the bloodstained robe from Abazigal's headless corpse.The loose-fitting garment barely came down to his knees, and his arms extended well past the cuffs of the sleeves.The hooded cowl was better than wandering around fully exposed.Armed only with the heavy broadsword he had salvaged from the carnage of Sarevok's final stand, Abdel began the long descent back to the mountain's base.He rested only briefly at the bottom before setting out toward Amkethran.He had only one goal: Find Melissan and demand she lead him to the rest of the Five so that he could extract gruesome vengeance for Jaheira's death.Based on the directions Melissan had given him, Abdel calculated that Amkethran was a tenday or more due west of the plateau where Abazigal had fallen.There, in the monastery of a man named Balthazar, Melissan and Imoen awaited his arrival.To get to them, Abdel had to pass through the southern arm of the Forest of Mir.Either that or journey several hundred miles to the north or south to circumvent the far reaching woods.Before they had parted ways at Saradush, Melissan had suggested Abdel take one of the longer, safer, routes and avoid the dangerous forest.It took Abdel less than a day to reach the eastern edge of the Forest of Mir.Beyond its western border lay Amkethran.Driven by the urgency of his need to spill the blood of the Five, Abdel never even considered taking the long way around.He plunged into the dense growth without a second thought.By the third day he was already regretting his decision.He had reached the Forest of Mir with no difficulty, but once inside the dark wood his progress had slowed to a crawl.Most of his time was spent ripping and tearing branches or smashing his way through thick, thorny underbrush.Abdel was lucky if he covered ten miles in a day.He was beginning to wonder if it would have been quicker to try and go around the almost impassable forest.At least the legendary lethal denizens of the Forest of Mir never bothered him.Abdel suspected the reports of their existence were highly exaggerated.Or perhaps Abdel's power had become so great that even the foul creatures hiding within the shadows instinctively knew to avoid a confrontation with the strange intruder to their world.Cursing his slow progress and his own stupid refusal to follow Melissan's advice, Abdel pressed onward through the dense trees.* * * * *Abazigal would fail.Sendai knew this, just as she knew the half-dragon's arrogance was nothing but a front to hide his true self, a simpering mongrel so disgusted with his own existence he sought salvation by trying to become something else entirely.The drow knew of the mage's ludicrous plan to unite the dragons of Faerun.
