章 2535: Rites of Passage (Part 1)

"That's no Balor!" The Fomor representative said. "It has just five eyes so it's still inferior to us. Did you eliminate it as well?"

"We tried, but we failed." The orc shaman shook his head. "We were surrounded by the Council forces and we prioritized securing the food rather than wasting time fighting. I had no idea-"

"You did the right thing." The Hati King cut him short. "If Elder Urma hasn't left Zelex yet, bring him back here immediately. He has much explaining to do. He never mentioned demons during our treaties and I doubt that such creatures keep a low profile.

"If those things are not demons, he's bound to know what they are. If demons really are out there, instead, he better have a perfectly good explanation for keeping it a secret from us."

The undead re-entered the room less than five minutes after leaving. The guards pushed and shoved him around, showing how little they trusted him yet he did his best to keep calm despite the rude treatment.
