Though he had already dismissed the caribou hunters as little more than fleeting embers soon to be snuffed out, he would not step into battle without knowing the enemy. Who were they to think they could stand against them? Who would crumble first beneath his fangs? Who would beg for mercy before the end?
The Kaan’s summons had not been without revelation. Many had gathered, himself among them, yet some stood silent, hesitant. Unsurprising. Every stronghold bore its fractures, every empire its weak-blooded. He had given his loyalty, but never blindly. Astier was no nameless sword, no beast led by the throat. He knew what he was stepping into, and when the dust settled, he would still stand; unchallenged.
Now, his search turned to @Faust. The questions searing his mind demanded answers, and the wraith would not be left wanting.
