"She was Jund. Very angry. She felt that I had betrayed her and felt that I had chosen my quad-mate over her. Indeed she even possessed me and made me break the box myself."

I shake my head. "Wait. What's the box got to do with anything? The ghost hated you so... she broke a box, and now we've got a doppelganger problem? Connect the dots for me, Shepherd!"

I take another sip of my wine, curious as well to hear the tale in full.

"I do not know how to connect them. You are the one who told me the box seems connected to the dopplegangers. I can only assume that Lovisa talked with the wraith in the box perhaps and decided to free it?" I think for a moment. "I could call her to me and compel her to answer questions but I am reluctant to do so. Although with the seriousness of the situation perhaps my reluctance is inadvisable."

"If she spoke to the wraith in the box and then thought it was a good idea to set it free, then you are well rid of such a troublemaker!"

"She could have done much worse to me directly. I wonder what her motives were for setting something loose to punish all of Nirrion?"

"You say you chose your female mate over her, correct? Perhaps that was reason enough for her. Her pride was wounded!"

"For wounded pride I could see her punishing me, but the whole city? Perhaps she blamed our society at large? But still, to unleash such a thing . . ."

"I don't know enough about this ghost to make any determination about why she would unleash something on the whole city. Perhaps she simply didn't know. Maybe the other wraith lied to her. Because, to be honest, the threat wasn't unleashed on the city. It was unleashed on the whole world."

"Indeed. I do not see her as someone who would do so willingly. She must have either been deceived or done it out of ignorance." I take a long drink. "So, what do we do now? We know there is a crisis. How do we avert it?"

"I have spent my life fighting enemies I can see. How do I fight an enemy that hides in plain sight?" I pound the table with my fist. "But one thing is for sure: the public cannot be made aware of this threat. Chaos would ensue."

"Perhaps if we can understand their aims we can determine how they will proceed. It would be helpful to capture one alive."

"Indeed! And you know nothing about this ghost leader who awoke all the doppelgangers?"

"I do not. Apparently that knowledge is solely for the High Haruspex. We have just had a change in leadership so only one within our order knows this at a time."

"Every order, religious or not, has its secrets! So be it: your high priest must be made aware of the situation!"
