Leaving the caravan behind, the pair reaches the southern border of Alacastor, only to find their current location a battleground. Though safely beyond the quarantine line, they learn of a necromancer hiding out in a fort that was renamed Specter's Hand before the southern military forces pushed the Miasmics back. Recognized as a mage by Colonel Ameste, Annette and Corvus are dragged into the conflict with mixed feelings. Ameste is wary of the pair and curious about their background, but requires their aid in breaching the fort and apprehending the necromancer. The military assaults the Miasmic hold. In the midst of the battle, Annette and Ameste come face to face with the necromancer hiding inside.
Beautifully thought-provoking, serene and mysterious!
With Clark's music I somehow always get a feeling of safety and coziness I don't often get from music. SilverFolfy
