The Legend Of Asahiel: Book 02 - The Obsidian Key - Plot & Excerpts
Allion’s eyes lifted from the freshly delivered parchment long enough to take in the stern angle of Rogun’s brow. He would have preferred to have read the message first in private, without the weight of the other’s demanding gaze. But Rogun’s right hand, Commander Zain, had intercepted King Thelin’s emissary on the way in, and had seen to it that his general found Allion at the same time as the Souari courier. At Rogun’s urging, Alson’s regent hadn’t even exited the hallway before unstoppering the scroll tube. “It appears that Thelin has agreed to Darinor’s proposal for combating the Illysp,” Allion replied, his eyes still scanning the page. “Impossible,” Rogun said, looming closer. For a moment, Allion thought the other meant to snatch the scroll away and read it for himself. Had the regent any place to retreat, he might have done so. As it was, he was backed against the wall of the stone corridor, with a sudden understanding of how Torin must have felt all those times the general had cornered him for one of these forced meetings.
