"But why Nogard?""Why indeed?" I growled. As annoying as Nogard was, she was a dragon and my sister. Grabbing one of the bodies on the floor, I heaved it onto a scanner. Slamming the lid down, I pounded in a series of codes and started the scanning.
"There's no need to abuse me with your anger," Nerissa said, her hologram form appearing next to me.
"Just tell me what you find," I snapped. From the corner of my eye, I saw Taran reacting rather unusual. He barely knew Nogard, yet he was obviously as angry as I was.
"What are they?" Wynn asked, picking up the head of one of the creatures that AUNTIE-D had discarded.
"I'd say Reavers," Shalimar said, picking another up by a rather pointy ear. "But Reavers don't talk...and you'd be hard pressed to find one who still has their ears intact."
Reverting her armor to regular clothes, n** said, "They're Renstok."
[+1]"Renstoks?" Shalimar asked.
"Renstok," n** said. "Even for a group it's singular."
"But what are they?" Wynn asked.
"A race long thought dead," Holly said. "They're mutated elves...think along the lines of orcs, goblins, or Uruk-Hai--only far worse than those races because they use to be good. They only mutated due to the twisted deeds of the gods they believed in."
"You should be laying down," Nissa said, pointing at her. "You're in no condition to be sitting up."
"Never mind that," Holly replied. "We have to find the other that they spoke of."
"We need to save Nogard first!" I said.
"No," Holly replied. "They won't hurt Nogard as long as they don't have this other one they speak of."
"But how would we know who the other is they want?" Nissa asked.
"They have evil turned to innocence," n** replied. "And now they're looking for an innocent that they can corrupt. One who has not killed yet."
"How do you know so much?" I asked.
"You summoned your Dragoon," n** replied. Bowing, n** added, "And here I am."
Narrowing my eyes, I said, "I don't remembering summoning you, but that's later. You still haven't answered my question."
"About the Renstok? I have an interest in ancient cultures."
"Where's Xink and Xangord?" Lord Avondale asked, sitting up.
