Erik felt a pang of gratitude for what the man had done for him in the past, but this was mixed with sadness at the thought of what he had become for him recently. Nothing but a stranger, probably an enemy.

The thoughts of the Blackguards lingered, too, their enigmatic and shadowy existence a constant puzzle.
