"That was an awfully hasty trial for those two rapists. I don't doubt that Lady Calder's judgment is just and wise, and I hear that there's even a girl or two coming forth to reveal that they'd been victims of the monsters. But I also heard that someone close to the Calders was affected. After all, Lord Flash is here from Maelstrom and would he really be if that wasn't true? I wonder what it could be."

Karena sniffed and murmured, "I heard that Maelstrom was attacked by Humontis. Notice how they didn't come here? Even though we're clearly the higher court of finery? The Storms must have done something. Again."

"Oh, who knows why the Earths do anything. They're so busy smoking anything they can find and drinking all sorts of things I doubt they know why they attacked," replies Shannara. "I've got news that's far more interresting and closer to home. Lord Melissan-Ronoh's sister, Aqua or whatever the girl's name is, ran off and came home pregant. No ring and no father in sight either. Not a surprise really, just look at how the girl acts - running about in men's clothing and playing with weapons. I know mercenaries are a disreptuable bunch, but you would think the lord would keep some control on the girl. You have to wonder exactly where those beast children came from."

"Forces, did you HEAR? Sabine de Bourgh has some men she's keeping as slaves! She may even be trading with Ekaitz. I do hope the Calders return soon. I guess this just goes to show, you can't trust a Storm no matter where they were born or what their other sign may be."

"I personally wonder how deep the corruption goes. What are some of our other Storms up to?"
