Dworkin, in the 'Betrayals' thread,:
A few moments of light and fire.
Mere instants.
David's voice echoes through the sudden silence as the bubble of calm surrounding Berd enfolds the group around the General, "Now!", and the air is suddenly filled with the whir of crossbow quarrels.
Somewhere another voice is chanting.
And then the Underflow is all around them, dark and cold.
Aaron is there, with Ilse unsheathed and extended reaching for a target that is no longer even there...
Chance, with the strange weapon, wearing armour so similar to that worn by Cyan...
James, bleeding and injured, still clutching Fangmir...
Luke, still on the very edge of sleep...
Berd, burning like a beacon in the darkness, overflowing with rage and confusion...
And Meredith, a surprised look on her face, holding a small piece of stone with a single red spot on it...
And so they fall...
Sorry, just to clear up a little confusion: There was chanting going on, maybe the Junior Assistant Wizard trying to restart the Broken God. Only Berd grabbed it before he could complete the ritual. I blame him being too busy with watching the duel. Then there was David's attempted mutiny adding to the confusion...
Berd would have noticed it, just by the gathering of power in the area, even if others missed it.
