They had all noticed a sudden concentration of monastic police, walking the streets and securing certain important streets and buildings.
Mingo and bix were worried that those at Halls knew something but Lloyd had explained to them the prophesy that the Seer from Mount Benitar had given to the ArchBishop and they were becoming lunatics because of it.
"Just relax, men. They will wait until they see more signs in the sky, like there were last night. They will interpret those as bad omens. They expect a takeover that is more supernatural than a take-over made by the discontented people of this city."
Lloyd somehow made sense to them and they became calm again and they were sent to round up all those who offered their support to Boyce and they took them to the underground passage running beneath the Blue Mansion.
Lloyd and Boyce had gone to the other side of Bimini Hill, at its base, where Tellis was keeping the two eagles calm and happy.
"Beautiful, are they not?" asked Tellis and the two men nodded with admiration and helped to feed the majestic birds.
"I am amazed that men could domestic them!" Lloyd said in a soft exclamation.
"They are fit for kings to fly!" Tellis looked at Boyce when he said that and Boyce was pleased by it.
They made their war up the hill when they were finished with Tellis and they didn't go into the mansion right away.
They were silent for the most part, while climbing, but when they came to the back of the mansion, where the beautiful garden was, they sat down on a warm marble bench and reflected on the past for a while.
