Chapter 22

Chapter 022: The Holder of Elgard's Eye :

Mikael was silent as he entered into Shadowkeep, stronghold of Iced Earth. He had been summoned as the others had. It appeared that after two weeks from their last meeting that Lord Schaller was ready to name his new general. Mikael showed nothing of the interest he had in whom the red headed half demon would pick.

However they were not greeted by Lord Schaller at all, a man dressed in thick black dragon mail and wearing a helmet that was stalking and wolf like in it's make, with a black wolf skin mantle over his shoulders stood ready to greet them. At his waist he wore a sword similiar to the one that Mikael now bore. But it was the necklace around his neck that caught the Stormblade warrior's eyes most of all. He knew the green jewel that sat upon the silver chain. It was Elgard's Eye.
Mikael wondered if Schaller had killed or nearly killed the Rosenbrim wizard to gain it. The Stormblade family had long known that the Rosenbrim House kept the amulet in secret. After all it was Stormblade himself that had charged House Rosenbrim with the care of the amulet. He wondered if this armor was only a facade for only a wizard could wear the Eye of Elgard with such ease.

The silver haired warrior did not buy down to this newcomer. He spoke before all others, "So you are the one that Lord Schaller has choosen to replace Kotipelli? I only hope you can manage the affairs of the Iced Earth better then your predessor."

He felt those hot eyes of Kotipelli upon as he was forced to kneel before his superiors; whom had once been his equals before he had lost his rank and eye.

Mikael strode towards the new general of the Iced Earth with arrogance clear in his steps and audacity as he grabbed hold of the helmet's sides. "Do you wear that mask because you are ugly under there. I am curious to see the face of the man whom could so easily were the Eye of Elgard, and without fear of it's powers corrupting him."

Delicate yet strong hands yanked the hands away from his face, "You are not to touch me, Stormblade. I am your equal and so I shall be treated. I am Lord Aes'danan de Morrigan."

Morrigan turned away from Mikael and the others, "I have more important business to tend elsewhere. You shall excuse me. My Lord Schaller has left no instructs for you; except to remain at Shadow Keep. You are not leave here against his will. Do not think yourself exempt from this, Lord Stormblade."

Mikael smiled darkly. He found that he actually liked this Aes'danan de Morrigan. In his eyes he had at last found something that might be worthy of his attention.
