Now that I 512567a49a think about it, 3e1cb7edf6 I had never f3cade8208 heard anyone say 11b195389b that the royal 4ef9c323b9 family of Nisha d61091201d could only use 0878a5cc91 powers of darkness.c90deced0522891a

Khalid glanced back at the e09e5ac077 throne, as if recalling the ab5e76b802 past. He was probably f260ffbf06 thinking of Einar, c3791a7e20 who had sat 2fa3829fd2 there until recently.540e2164369fe4d4

Rather than placing them elsewhere, 89442182c2 it would be safer and f6a8dec0de more practical to entrust them 218a4cd452 to the King of Nisha—especially aa3c335462 since I would need to 01f7d97397 retrieve them once I’m back c53f74d5ad in the real world.b74e3a2e9a1952f9
