"Mm. Go figure," Tiras said of Raye's disappearance. "Best we can do is pray she's alright." He looked at Lennox. "As for us, we've made a habit of hitting prison convoys when and where we could, stirring up any un-cowed youths in the villages we've run across, until we got too large to move without suspicion. I've been making progress deciphering Persephone, and use her in my battles now, as you might've noticed. At any rate, we reached a tipping point, and decided to take the plunge. And so we took Traitor's End. Except the End is not the End, apparently, and they want to keep what is the end a secret." He peered from a crenelation, first left, then right. "But until they come to us, we won't know where they go."
'I will make you aware, Tiras Hades, when your enemies arrive,' he heard Persephone tell him. He nodded. He didn't get down time lately; being allowed a free minute was something of a luxury. "Renata has improved her sword form, as well as her mastery of the faithful arcana. It was quite illuminating to watch." He smiled, more of a rarity these days, as he looked to the woman. "And her kindness has saved and recruited more to our cause than my victories. A rare comrade, and a rarer lady."
