//Zeros', should I assume that Zeros' has this magical way of avoiding invisible barriers in the air?//
//The barriers are 10x10x10 metres of rock. 1000 metres cubed. Big. Hurts a lot if you crash into one by accident at high speed.//
//By the way people, please remember that almost all the Dark Continent has flight hindering barriers of the type mentioned above.//
//Whatever it is that Zeros''s character thinks, Melkoth actually did die in the (almost) conventional sense, but had methods of having himself brought back.//
Melkoth nodded to Abodahon. "I will."

A little startled, Quintus turned, and said, "Abodahon! This is a pleasant surprise. How did you come to be here?"
He then noticed that Draven was flying very fast towards them.
"It seems we will have guests soon..."
He telepathed to Melkoth,
People can detect us by our auras, we should leave this place. We might as well begin the attack.____________________________________________________________________
Melkoth replied:
Yes. Tell Abodahon that we two shall attack Abodahon, while you guard this place.____________________________________________________________________
The Prophet nodded. "Abodahon, Melkoth wishes you to acompany him now to attack Retangrad. I will stay here to guard."
____________________________________________________________________
Melkoth grinned. "Really? I prefer, 'He who hesitates is lost.' Anyway, I see you also had plans for your survival. Is this your final form, or would you like me to help come back in a more solid way?
"Please answer quickly, as Abodahon and I are about to attack Retangrad, your old city, in order to gain a port city. In fact, you might like to attend, my old friend. I have heard it is quite run down now, despite its excellent harbour. Apparantly it is not near enough hostile territory, from the point of view of the Crimson Empire, to be worth maintaining. We will have work to do."
He waited both for Alpha Retan's answer and for Abodahon to arrive.

Salazar's troops and the bodyguard of the King of Wahabia fought, until the King was alone.
Salazar flew forward, as did the King. Salazar moved around the king, and the king around him, and then they shot fireballs at eachother. After a few minute of fighting with different spells, the king was dead, and his charred body was dropping to the ground.
Salazar brushed some soot off his fatigues as his soldiers flew into the city to kill all males and children, and rape all females.

Haraldur now explained of the Energy Survey of North America that was carried out by the Technical Alliance, and how it was completed in the early '30s. He then talked of how they regrouped to form Technocracy Incorporated, and then he started explaining the plan and the ideology. His comrades were starting to nod with agreement with much more frequency.
The explanation, in detail, took many months. //For a very diluted version (without the calculations etc.) got to
www.technocracy.org and read everything there. I doubt you will though, and it is not important to the story until later, when I will explain it anyway.//
The five large buildings were nearly finished.
