Annatar's Gift

He stood and gazed upon the shifting sands. The tents, crimson, blue and gold, gleamed in the naked sun, the palms fanning them gently in the breeze.

Then his eyes moved from the Easterling war camp to the band of mithril upon his finger; metal jaws clasping a blood red stone. So precious a gift! Its power flowed through his skin already. And with this Annatar’s gift, thought Khamûl, there would no longer be a question as to loyalty. All in the East would serve him.

Such a precious gift.

Yet strange how the sun no longer seemed as bright…
