75 "After him!" roared The First Speaker. "This time we have him!"
76 "What was all that?" asked The Prince of Fr.
77 "Nothing of any importance," answered The First Speaker, "just an old fool. A religious fanatic that does not know what is good for his people. Come, let us go to The Palace."
78 So for many days The Prince of Fr was wined and dined in The Capitol.
79 He agreed to The First Speaker's proposals, gave him many expensive gifts, and even promised him Frn princesses as brides for his sons, to seal the bargain between them.
80 The last night of The Prince's stay, The First Speaker again dreamed The Dream.
81 But this time his attackers were clearly visible. They were Frn soldiers.
82 This time, he got to see The Warlock's face.
83 And a Voice from Spirit spoke to him, saying, "Here is your successor, The One Who Is Worthy, not those of your blood, who are not.
84 The die is cast. The hour is at hand.
85 You have chosen your fate. It will come to be.
86 As Our Shadow has said, so will it happen.
87 It is on your hands not Ours."
88 The Speaker again woke, screaming.
89 As soon as his guards were in the room, he gave them strange orders.
90 "As soon as The Prince of Fr leaves," he ordered, "I want to revue every Warlock in the land, and every man that is due for promotion within a year.
91 Have them come to The Palace, beginning tomorrow.
92 I don't care how far away they live, or what their circumstances. I want to see them here within a month."
93 The Warlocks could not understand The First Speaker's strange request, but without hesitation they carried it out.
94 Day after day The First Speaker inspected his Warlocks, but he could not find the one he was looking for.

The Evil First Speaker is confronted by the mysterious old man.
