The Sorceress of Belmair
“Cinnia began. “They were banished several thousand years ago from Belmair, but whether they went or not is the question.”
“Why were they exiled?” Kaliq wanted to know.
“No reason was given, but as I have explained to Dillon the reason would not have been important for our historians. The king declared it so, and therefore that would be all the explanation needed, for the king’s word is law in Belmair,” Cinnia explained.
“So all we know is that the Yafir existed, were here in Belmair... and were banished because the king wanted it.” The Shadow Prince was intrigued. “And there is no proof that they either remained or departed?”
“None that we can find,” Cinnia said.
“Exactly when did young women begin to disappear?” Kaliq asked her.
“About a thousand years ago, but it was not particularly noticeable until about three hundred years ago when they began disappearing in greater numbers, and now in the last hundred years it has escalated to the point where there aren’t enough females born to serve as mothers to the next generation, which means our population is shrinking.MoreLess
