Grashnik had just received a message from the Silver Wizard when he stumbled into his quarters and sat on the feather stuffed mattress. He looked out of his window watching the orcs work into the long hours of the night.
The drafts of Angmar were cold and Grashnik's armor was making him sore. He had to choose one or the other. Grashnik removed his armor and traded it for his jerkin and vembraces. He decided a draft lasted until morning and sores and pains lasted days.
Grashnik layed back in his bed, listening to the constant chatter of laboring orcs. "Disgusting." The message was more of a freeing spell... one that released him from the darkness that held him. He sat up eyeing the interesting decorations of his quarters. All were twisted iron with morbid details. Then he noticed something peculiar. A bloody skull within what seemed to be some sort of sphere engraved on the floor. Obviously this symbol had some significant value otherwise the orcs wouldn't have bothered to carve it. Now he was a prisoner until the shadow overswept him again. He knew when it would take him and he knew that he could not delay it forever without bringing himself certain doom.
He dismissed the thoughts of his transformations remembering the task at hand. I need to leave Angmar but the halls are infested with orcs. The leaders are undoubtedly leaving now and soon Morsereg will retire to his chambers oblivious of my presence there earlier. I am tired from the journey... perhaps I shall do it tomorrow night.
Grashnik leaned back and thought. Everything would be completed in due time and now he needed to rest, no matter how badly he didn't want to...
