== Teaser == {{Turbine 2008 | Link = http://ac.turbine.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=685-present-dilemma&catid=85-2011&Itemid=68 | Title = Present Dilemma | Text = Emperor Geraine sat in the quiet dark of his throne room. An eerie silver light radiated from the bowl set next to his throne, whose waters were filled with rippling images and shifting scenes. The Emperor watched the images with a mild interest, a look of contentment on his otherwise stoic visage. As Geraine watched the images play out in the magical bowl, his Seneschal stiffly and slowly approached the dais. The Seneschal looked loathe to interrupt his Emperor's musings, especially with bad news, and did his best to keep his eyes to the floor until his master acknowledged him. "Have you found out that which I asked of thee?" asked the Emperor, without looking up or otherwise acknowledging the Seneschal. The Seneschal almost jumped out of his shriveled skin when the Emperor spoke. He never got used to how the Emperor always knew exactly where he was. "Y-yes, my Lord. As you requested, I made some quiet inquiries into General Thurask's... new hobby. He has indeed been violating your edicts involving the recording of information about your many works." The Seneschal was sure this would anger his Emperor. The General had served the noble Empire from the beginning, and had been a loyal servant of the Emperor in all things. This betrayal would surely be a grievous blow. He just hoped that the Emperor would not vent his anger upon his poor, loyal Seneschal. To his surprise, the Emperor merely smiled. "Thank you, Seneschal, that will be all." "Yes, my Lord." said the Seneschal, backing quietly out of the room. He was now terribly confused. He had been privy to most of the Emperor's manipulations of Dereth, and this amusement at what was a gross betrayal of the secrecy necessary in the proper manipulation of events was dumbfounding. Back in the quiet of the throne room, Geraine watched the old general in his scrying bowl. The old skeleton general was sitting in a sandstone chamber, quietly writing by the light of a single candle. "Ahh, my old friend, had your timing been different; I would have had to kill you for your transgression. Now, I can only thank you. It is far too late for them to stop what they will learn from your journals, and it is so much more entertaining when someone gloats for you..." Elsewhere in Dereth... Borelean sat alone in the ancient Falatacot ruins where he had hidden his present workings. "There has to be a way to make this work... I will get her back... I will find a way to restore her to me..." }}
