Valdark, the Great Barbarian Sorceror, has called Sorceror Aribor back to work. He has been sent on a mission with other Black Sorcerors to bring terror to Bricas in Shalirion. He has gone into the city in disguise to assess the best means of terror. He merges with crowds and finds himself involved in a festival of the Goddess, and learns much about the ways of Shalirion. His purpose is tested by temptation and new understanding. This is Section 2 of this Part.
