"I have no choice but to speed up my departure to the capital. Have you managed to convince Guren to come with you?" General Adelman asked Destin.
Assistant General Destin shook his head. "Sir Guren let me into his chambers, but he didn't listen to a word I said! He seemed to think I was air, General!" Destin sounded annoyed as he reported.
If Destin was allowed to enter, General Adelman was not allowed to approach at all. Guren had used his magical abilities to create a barrier that prevented General Adelman from approaching the door to the witch's room.
"This is his revenge!" General Adelman said to Destin.
Destin was a hard man and a soft man. He was hard on those who were hard and soft on those who were soft with him. Destin must have come to Guren's room quite often these days. Ever since the news had been delivered to him by magic, Destin had been terrorizing Guren's room.
