The thirteen repulsive sculptures rose from floor to ceiling, part
statue and part pillar. Twelve of them were identical, with their
hideous depictions of ancient evil, in the form of a terrible
mixture of wolf and elf.
The Ancients, Ainsley despaired.
Behind her was a half circle carved into the stone wall, a
portal edged with silver and engraved with runes that glowed a
sickly green. Directly opposite the portal, on the other side of
the room, the thirteenth statue hulked, larger than the rest, and
more horrific.
Ainsley gasped as she gazed upon the nightmarish face with its
fang-filled maw. The haughty expression and the supercilious stance
were familiar to her, dredging terror from the darkest recesses of
her memory. The bat-like wings and the curling horns were new, but
she remembered clearly the ugly creature from their battle at the
palace of Oben-Odi. The thirteenth statue was a near likeness to
the creature that Velinor had become, and the deep indentation that
looked like a gaping wound in the approximate place where its heart
should rest, was filled by the Lyrestone in the chest of the former
Lord of Kopeth.
