Marina decided to use the magical flying carpet she had acquired for her travels because it was the second fastest means of travel. Faster still was the portal but it would create magical echoes which Dreze might use to locate the portal, and that would have devastating consequences, so she had chosen the magical carpet instead.
The land seemed to blur beneath her as she traveled over the land and it wasn’t long before she crossed the disputed territory into the land claimed by Dreze. She had grown up in these now ravaged lands back when Count Senmark had ruled them and Dreze had served as loyal vizier until he discovered the Gems of Clu and he used them to betray the Count and conquer the kingdom. Marina made a silent prayer to any god that would listen that she would have the strength to defeat Dreze.
As the sum faded from the sky she noticed the camp fires of the invading armies on the ground below. Marina wasn’t sure the armies of Dar could stand against Dreze because they were so divided with the troubles in the north and south. It was tempting to attack the army and cause them to be distracted and divided. She had the Orb of Change and if she used it's full charge she could take a sizable force, but she would lose the use of it and she had been counting on it for an emergency situation. Her second option was to sneak down there and use her magic to take command of the traveling and pack animals and have them scatter, but it was dangerous because she would have to land to be close enough to use the magic. Finally, Marina could ignore the forces below her and keep focused on the task of taking out Dreze, The option would be the easiest and the hardest one to make.
