A woman’s laughter, low and mocking, drifts through the shadows.
“You always did prefer the direct hand. Take this rod — it will steady your grip when the Court bends.”
The tall man accepts it, weighing the dark-wrought metal in his palm, eyes gleaming with hungry intent.
She steps back, veil of silence folding about her. “I will keep the skeins tangled where they cannot see me. You, though… I look forward to watching what comes to that proud land with its Lion Banner.”
His smile is a wolf’s smile, and he vanishes into the night.

Blodfest pouted mightily as he stared daggers into the city of Mayene. It felt dusty. He felt dusty. Unused. The monotony of existence broke only when he felt a leash unravel around him. His compulsion was gone and the ties that bind felt...
dung he thought as a portal sliced the view of the city and a handsome man walked out. He quirked his head, stretched out a rod toward Blodfest, and Blodfest felt a new leash tie into him.
"Boghag will send troops soon. When I feel that you are finished here, I will summon you."
