So, that man of doubtful trust that went by the nickname of 'The Patriarch' was, in reality, a deceiver, and a master manipulator. Rowie didn't feel surprised a little bit about it; Vanilla seemed to never tire to say the exact same thing as her mother just did. 'He is damn cultist, Rowie' Her words sounded inside the puppy's mind. 'And the leader of a cult of other lunatics. He will act and say anything just to make people follow and believe him. He is no different from the deceiving demon trash that promises richness and unlimited power to mortals, like the one who brought me back.'
What did surprise Rowie, however, was the fact that this temporarily revived woman that had given birth to his best friend —and resembled her in so many ways— happened to know about the Patriarch —or Maximilian Reynolds, calling him by his supposed real name. Marie Land didn't just know him, she was actually related to him. That would make him Vanilla's uncle.
