Demon Lord VII - Dark Domain (32 page)

Bane made the
most of the precious leisure time. In a few more days he would
create the wards, and then they would continue their journey to
Ashynaria’s domain. He wondered how many more adversities he would
have to face before they reached it, hoping for none but expecting
some. He had had more than enough of fighting dark gods and their
minions, and looked forward to spending a few relaxing days in
Drevarin’s domain. Although Sherinias’ world was bearable now, and
safe, it lacked the wild beauty of a domain like Myrthran. Its few
remaining attractions would not survive for much longer, and,
without some miraculous intervention, it was doomed to fall to the
darkness. For now, he was just glad of the chance to rest, even in
a dark domain.
