anarch

No matter how it works out, whether they get the Anarch or not.

And they all knew it, except of course the Anarch himself.

At the time of his death the Anarch had been fifty years old.

That's what they should have done; it's not your job to get the Anarch out.

Well, it had to come to light eventually, if they expected to sell the Anarch.

"But of course we'll need to see the Anarch before we pay over the money.

"Did the Anarch really appear to you in a vision?"

"He probably knows more about the Anarch than does anyone else alive.

"You'll have to get the Anarch right out and somewhere else.

What did the Anarch want to say to me?

You getting out alive with your wife but without the Anarch?"

She would understand; he couldn't risk not digging the Anarch up.

"The Anarch was a great religious force and person."

And like you say, maybe their commandos can rescue the Anarch.

With three furlongs left to run she was just behind the leader Anarch.

"They wouldn't have done that unless you stood a good chance of getting the Anarch out."

To assure him that you are not in fact holding the Anarch?"

"As a matter of fact I personally know more than a little about the late Anarch."

The Anarch watched him, listening for him to go on.

"Are you certain you dug up the Anarch too soon?"

On a chair in the center sat the Anarch Peak.

The Anarch Peak would be returning to life any day, now.

"I saw him plainer than you see me now," the Anarch whispered.

"They will release your wife unharmed once we have the Anarch back.

But he knew, inside, that he had never at any point really tried to release the Anarch.
