What Was Lost

What Was Lost is the twenty-second chapter of Tales of Sheol'gotha:  Shadow of the Abaddon.

Synopsis
Sharess, struggling with the recent upheavals and the recent attacks on Attir, Nyrir and Ghion, is reluctant to do much of anything as she continues to mourn Valon's passing. Corrion arrives with a vial for her to try in order to combat the poison. He speaks with Settir briefly, but does not divulge his suspicions. As he and Settir leaves, Terylon approaches and suggests they work at getting revenge on the De-jin family, but Sharess tries to talk her down.

A shout from the next room drives everyone to their feet, and Settir pulls Sharess into the crystal chamber where a figure is waiting. At first shocked, Sharess soon collapses in happiness as she realizes it's Valon. He explains that they're at Shant Opet, and tells her what happened in the Ebonmire, even showing her the marrowblade from Aranicus. She promises to return to finding him support, and as they sever the connection he turns to explain this to her children.

They explain that they saw something strange, and that instead of a black shape they saw the marrowblade in an array of colours, causing Sharess to look at the crystal with concern. She doesn't know the answer, but explains to them that it was a gift from the gods, causing surprise among them but jealous in Skeyrin. As she dismisses them all to go rest before returning to their attempts at finding support, she pulls Skeyrin aside and details to him the need for him to be on their side, and to get his priorities straight for the sake of the family.
