"Your time is running out, Manguino. Come fight me or Halls will crumble, never to rise again!"
Orren looked out of the window, too.
"I told him, an hour." said Orren. "I think that he is trying to frighten you!"
"He's his father, all over again." Manguino stated to Orren then leaned his head against the wall by the window.
"Prepare yourself to leave. When I fight him, all will watch and you will be able to get away."
It was strange that Orren was seemingly guiding the ArchBishop's life. After all the years that Manguino, as ArchBishop, was the undisputed ruler of Phoride, he had fallen to a level of mind that very closely resembled that of an idiot.
Orren has really been the one man, who had been controlling Phoride since Manguino's marriage and unending fornication with Eckma.
Orren didn't care on way or the other about his idea that the ArchBishop's unending years of debauchery and perversion had effected his mind. Whether or not that was true was beside the point, right now.
This god's survival was at stake. He couldn't let someone like Boyce show that he was nothing more than a physical and mental weakling.
Orren helped Manguino pack a survival travel bag and saw him off at his personal tunnel that exited, at an isolated cove, on the southern most part of Pomperaque.
