King Vallance looked up as Kaisen and Sir Amik Varze entered his room.
He leapt in delight. "There it is!" he pointed at Kaisen. "I wanted it to, and it has come to me!" A silver film was over his eyes.
"Vallance, we have a problem," said Varze tiredly. "The egg won't hatch."
"Oh, of course not. It won't until the Mighty One commands it to."
"Who is that?" asked Kaisen.
Vallance made a movement across his lips as to signify silence. "No more," he murmured, and he lay down on his bed.
"Please tell us!" Varze urged him.
"No, that is for the mage to discover, and the mage to seek. Only when the mage finds the Mighty One can the dragon be commanded to leave its egg."
"But why? If the egg doesn't hatch soon, then we will all die!"
"Saradomin works in odd ways, but his end result is for the good of us all."
