The Fall Foreseen
Agent Smith reports to Ryuusei Cartwright following the death of Epheel...
Go!
«Agent Smith and Ryuusei are standing in front of the Necromancer Fortress. Diviara is in the shadows»
Agent Smith: Your control is dwindling, General. First your predecessor defected, and now so has Nightbane.
Ryuusei: Dwindling? Is it really?
Agent Smith: It certainly looks that way. Nightbane has killed the spider and has proclaimed he will see The`Galin dead.
Ryuusei: It is a bit late for noble ends for Balius. You know as well as I that seeing The`Galin dead is not possible. Things are as they should be.
Agent Smith: Nightbane killed Epheel and attacked me! You call that as is should be?
Ryuusei: Epheel outlived his usefulness a hundred years ago or more. You seem no worse for his "assault."
Ryuusei: As for Balius, his fate is not tied up in just his feelings for his daughter, but also in his feelings for his son.
Agent Smith: How do you propose you can use Edward against him? It is not as if he will cooperate in that effort.
Ryuusei: Smith, "baby," you of all people should be able to piece it together.
Agent Smith: We let nature take its course by directing the activity of Battleonia?
Ryuusei: Very good. Perhaps you are not as stupid as a Terran after all.
Agent Smith: Do you think that will work?
Ryuusei: I am certain of it. Balius links his nobility with his power. He links his "redemption" with killing The`Galin.
Agent Smith: So he will seek to regain what he has lost to the son. Is that even relevant compared to his other power?
Ryuusei: What matters is that he thinks it is. We will not have to turn the father against the son. Their enmity is ageless.
Agent Smith: Neither Zephyr nor the master will likely approve of such tactics. They consider reform desirable.
Ryuusei: The Terrans have some worth. Their sayings carry wisdom.
Agent Smith: What has that to do with anything?
Ryuusei: What they do not know cannot hurt us.
Agent Smith: You walk a thin line.
Ryuusei: Razor thin, but I know how to play the game.
Agent Smith: So what is my objective at this point?
Ryuusei: Celegra's son. Bring him to me.
Diviara: Amiliara... he has returned to Lore? I directly instructed him to remain on Caelestia.
«Falerin teleports in»
Falerin: Cutting it close, are we Diviara?
«Falerin teleports Diviara and himself to K'eld Ner»
Diviara: They are targeting my son!
Falerin: Regrettable. What do you plan to do?
Diviara: I can do nothing. Certainly not attack. That is what they want me to do.
Falerin: Indeed.
Diviara: They may have even known I was there and hoped that my actions would alert them to where Amiliara is.
Falerin: That potential cannot be ignored. Lord Darin?
Lord Darin: Yes, Loremaster?
Falerin: My recollection is that you are both an expert tactician and a communicant of the Water Lord. Is that correct?
Lord Darin: I do not know that I would say expert... I have some skill.
Falerin: We have no time for false modesty.
Lord Darin: Very well, then. Yes, what you said is true.
Falerin: You will take a group and secure Amiliara Celegra before Cartwright and Smith get a chance.
Lord Darin: What of my duties here? King Tralin...
Falerin: ...Will agree with my course. I know the king as well as I knew his father. He will not allow Amiliara to fall into enemy hands.
Lord Darin: You knew Draynor directly? I was of the impression--
Falerin: Yes, I knew Draynor, but that's not what I meant. Draynor was human. I meant his biological father.
Lord Darin: I see... Well, either Kithia or Shirian will need to come here to run things in my stead.
Falerin: I will see to it. Diviara, with me.
Lord Darin: Very well.
