Mad Moon of Dreams (2012)
“Up at dawn’s first light, they were aboard Gnorri II and gone from Ilek-Vad before the city’s less exotic citizens were even out of their beds. Westward they headed, out through the invisible force-screen and across the desert and scrublands.
They left behind the three ships sent by Kuranes of Serannian, which had arrived during the night and were now provisioning, and three others of King Carter’s fleet which were ready to sail but not required immediately. Limnar had spoken to the commanders ...of the latter trio, asking that they remain in Ilek-Vad until the newcomers were fully provisioned and rested; then that they lead them out over the desert to an aerial rendezvous in the west. By then Gnorri II should have had time to locate and deal with the Lengite party, and from then on the course and actions of the sky-flotilla would be governed by whatever the leaders of the expedition had learned from those treacherous horned ones.
Back in a palace tower, Arra Coppos and several others of Ilek-Vad’s dignitaries watched the ship until it was gone from sight, then turned to those tasks which must now commence to ensure the safety of the rest of dreamland’s peoples.MoreLess
