[Ramses]

---

The moonlit walls of the Warrior Temple shone brightly against the darkened hushed Forrest that surrounded it.
All was quiet in the Temple and many of the lights were out except for one. This one room seemed to be lit well past the others had gone out.
Ramses paced his office as he had come to do as of late, many things had come to pass. Many things to consider.
Isk's fearful rant was a step up from his usual rhetoric. Fear. What else would drive someone to extremes. And his meeting with Umbra right after had implication that disturbed him, implication he must inform the Lady Molly about.
Umbra was in itself a matter of concern. Lady Ishtar is missing and was last seen there. Lady Temptation's investigations had yielded more questions than leads...but all roads led to Umbra. The reappearance of Keldril, Ishtar's former interest, had been a bit of a surprise, but more of a coincidence. Too many factors we're too convenient to be a happy accident.
What the Pharaoh needed was more information and soon. His dealings with the Umbrans was limited since he really had no need to go there.
So he paced some more.
Then stopped.
"What if....?"
His mind raced
It would be a gamble, but the well being of a member of his house was at stake not to mention the greater picture.
He went back to his desk and quickly pulled out a clean sheet of papyrus and started to pen a letter.

Lord Spawn,

I pray this letter finds you and yours in Good health and prosperity,
I am sure you are wondering why you are receiving this letter from me but I assure you it is of a matter that would benefit from your great experience and investigative prowess.
I would be more than willing to meet you at your earliest convenience at a place of your choosing.
I await your response.

May the Hand of Ra guide you.
Ramses
Pharaoh
Hand of Ra


He rolled up the letter and decided to place it in a royal parchment case and sealed it with a royal cartouche signet. He then called an attendant to have the message delivered to the House of Spawn with haste.

Spawn sat in the throne room of his castle looking over a map of Sanctus with a pen with some ink slowly drawing circles at key structures on the city map.

"Hmm A full attack on Blackgard shall suffice" Spawn said to himself drawing a big "circle" over the building with represented Castle Blackgard on the map. A few moments later, his new servant Oscar entered the throne room standing just a few feet behind him. Spawn looked over his shoulder at the servant who kneeled to the ground paying respect to his new master.

"Sorry to interupt you Lord Spawn but a letter has arrived for you" said the servant holding a piece of paper in his hand. Spawn walked up the servant and took the letter from his hand.

"Thank you Oscar..." said Spawn as he walked towards his throne. The servant bowed respectfully then walked out of the throne room.

"Hmm let us what the letter says" Spawn said to himself as he sat down on his throne opening the letter slowly reading it over. "Ah a long time I have heard from the Pharaoh of Ra" he said as he stood from his throne walking over a table which has a piece blank scrolls and a pen with an inkwell. He took one of the scrolls and with the pen began to write.

*************************************************************
Pharaoh Ramses,

I write to you that I received your letter and am honored to hear from you again. I shall be available later tonight at Castle Spawn which is located next to Sanctus' Blackgard. I look forward to meeting and assisting you in any way possible.

*signed*
Spawn
Lord of the House of Spawn


*************************************************************

After writing the letter, Spawn sealed the scrolls with some wax.

"Oscar!" Spawn called out for his servant. The servant quickly entered the throne room bowing to his lord. "See that this letter gets to the Pharaoh of Ra immediately" commanded Spawn holding the letter out to Oscar. The servant nodded, taking the letter and quickly walking out of the throne room. Spawn then went back to his map looking it over and making some last minute plans.
