After a quiet talk with Volkar, confiding in him most of his plans and desires, Volkar knew what he had to do.
He was about to leave to venture to the slum edge, when Fursha said.
“Wait, I want to come with you.”
“Why, it might prove to be dangerous.”
“I am not afraid. No, I am curious to learn just how you propose to infiltrate the council.” Fursha replied. However, in reality, he was being careful to ensure that nothing goes wrong. One false move or careless talk, would land all them in the reclamation centre very quickly.
A short time later, the two of them were walking up the main street of the slum edge. Volkar had an air of confidence about him. This was his back yard in his scamming days. He even knew several stall keepers along

Anyone standing above will hear the code.”
“That’s brilliant.” Fursha replied. “But where does the cavity go?”
“As far as I know it runs in a strtaight line from that methane pool directly out to the edge of the Hive across the street” Volkar said, pointing in its general direction.
By this time, a small member had entered the foyer. After some discussion, and some payment of some procured gems, he handed Volkar a sack. Fursha thought it best not to ask about it here.
Back at the work place, Fursha could not wait to find out what Volkar had purchased. He removed the contents of the sack and held up a brand new robes. A blue robe! The robe of an Elder!
Now Fursha could understand Volkar’s plan. He would go into the council chambers disguised as an Elder.
“Won’t they discover you are a fraud?” Werten said when he viewed Volkar as an Elder.
“Firstly, there are several Elders. Most don’t talk to one another, so I should fit in. Besides, if I am questioned, I am an Elder from the other Hive on secondment or something.” Volkar replied confidently.
Fursha now had all the elements for his grand plan. He instructed Volkar to teach all of his team, the secret code. He got Volgon, to venture out as far as he dared from the specific methane pool, tapping the ground as he went. He marked with cairns, the precise position of the cavity as it was underground out from the Hive.
His final act was to carve his face onto the famous God statue. The events after that, played out
“My first commander has more questions,” the fair-haired Kingsman begins to speak as the other heads to the door.
Why do we speak of ‘basic” rather than “primitive” religions? We speak of basic religion because basic religion came from prehistory or are practiced in remote places. And elements of the basic religions are found to some degree in all religions. Basic religions represent the majority of the total religious experience of humankind. While primitive religion carries with it connotations of being backward, simple, even childlike. Christian or Muslim or Jew may tend to look down on these religions as being superstitious, uncivilized, or even savage. The term is misleading in suggesting that the religions of those peoples are somehow less complex than the religions of "advanced" societies.
“We should go into this alley to discuss this.” Epsilon said. “Talking about this out loud isn’t the greatest idea.”
Alistar waved his hand dismissively. "You're a veteran, the new bloods don't get to double cross their point man on the first mission they run. Treachery is earned."
“We should send you up to question them,” he continues. “Relations with them are tentative at best when it comes to us pale faces.”
"Nice to meet you Akki. Right now you better listen, because I'm not going to repeat myself. Do you know anything about the Titans or walls?"
“I couldn’t just let you wander off from the group. I am the leader so it is my responsibility to make sure that you are safe from beginning to end.” responds Meriwether
"Everyone warned Bracha that the truth would emerge, and whoever starts with the rabbi is liable to pay a painful price," they suggest gently. "Too bad Ephraim didn't catch
“Because you have not hidden your intention, we will spare you” the dreke said as he motioned out of the lair
“know maym that is a risk for the people that are jumping out at you.”
Realizing this supplied the perfect distraction, he continued his progress, easily jumping from rooftop to rooftop through the city, unobserved by the people below, to the palace district. Nearing the palace, he began encountering soldiers stationed upon the roofs and decided to return to the streets where he could blend in with the frantic crowds more than a lone individual traveling by rooftop. When he reached the palace gates, he slipped away from the crowd and hid behind a rain barrel of the building directly across from the gates. He observed two armor-clad guards armed with spears standing just inside and miraculously, had not discovered him since they were all too busy assisting the patrol that had just come through the gate, its wagons filled with hot steaming cauldrons on their way to help with the assault on the city’s main gate, to notice him. He made his move when the street had finally cleared and openly approached the two guards. When the guard saw him, he barked out, “Halt. No civilians allowed beyond this point, only soldiers of Parsis.”
Exiting the kitchen, she walked beside Cole along the rocky path. He knew not to speak, lest Levi hear through the raised window.
After a while he heard the sound of a bag being unzipped I looked up but saw no zipper moving that meant that it must be Roslyn's bag. All kinds of thoughts started to scramble my mind. Then I calmed down and remembered the plan.
Its been about fifteen when gale walks in. he places his bow on the ground and heads towards the kitchen. Reaching towards the small cabinet he pulls out a small titley packed package.
“Why would you fear an old man like me? I know what you, the Host of the Nekrums, can do,” Montague said.
