Before Conor had left for his secret meeting, Linda had gone home to her husband, Zera who was Conor's best friend or so he thought. After Linda had cleaned up and prepared dinner, they both sat down to eat. Linda then decided to tell Zera what conor had been up to.
" Zera, you do know that your best friend is in serious need of mental treatment. He's not doing well."
" Linda I've told you many times that Conor is my best friend and I won't tolerate such insults towards him. What happened this time?"
" Forgive me but I think it's best you know. I'm your wife Zera, I won't lie to you. Conor presented war structures for the council to see. He claims they will help change the word. Zera you needed to have seen this drawings. They're war machines, meant to kill and destroy. If those things are ever made they will be destruction in the world."
" Conor has always been a creative person. But war drawings. That's completely out of line."
" My love, he has this crazed look in his eyes. I'm afraid he'll go to any lengths to do what he wants."
" I don't think he can do anything about it. He doesn't have the funds or the man power to do anything. He's completely powerless."
" I don't know Zera. He's completely different. The Conor you think you knew isn't the same Conor. He's changed."
" The gods won't let such a mad thing happen Linda. What did the council say about this?"
"They refused him of course. I was able to convince them to send some soliders over to his house to search and make sure they destroy those drawings. If it gets into the wrong hands only the gods know what will happen."
" That is good Linda. Let's hope they're able to do so. For now let's eat and then later we'll go to pray for Conor at the temple. He needs all the prayers he can get."
Later that evening soliders appeared at Conor's home to search for the drawings. They were unable to find anything but they discovered Conor's secret passage. Following the tunnel they found themselves in the forest and started to search for Conor. The members of Conor's group quickly heard the commotion and saw the torches. They then dispersed their meeting and went into hiding. Unfortunately with all the hastiness, they weren't able to take all the drawings with them.
The soliders then found them and took them back to the council. Conor was declared a terrorist and a danger to all. He was also wanted by the council and was to be brought in alive. Some members of Conor's group who went back home heard about the declaration and went back to tell Conor about the new developments. Conor was safely hidden inside an emergency house in one of the villages not too far from his home.
"What do we do Conor? Everything has failed."
"Nothing has failed yet my friend. They only know about me. They don't know about the rest of us. They don't know of our plans to get the treasury and they don't know about the witch. As a matter of fact, they don't know anything."
"You're right. You might be in hiding but not for long. The treasury comes in tomorrow. The young men are still waiting for my orders. I will go to them now and tell them to attack tomorrow."
"That is good. Get someone to bring my wife here. I don't want her hurt in any of this commotion. Before Dawn tomorrow, the world will be in our hands my friend and nothing will be able to stop us. Not even the gods."
