Solaris was in the middle of another session of prayer when he heard footsteps upstairs, breaking the tranquil silence that usually seemed to possess the house. Solaris recognized the long, light stride on the wooden floor above him, and he knew who was to come down to the catacombs in moments.

Sure enough, a tall Breton with long, wispy brown hair and a pointed face appeared at the door to the dark prayer room. Solaris immediately stood up from the middle of his prayer, having been distracted already, to confront him.

“Well, Davioc, glad you could muster up the insolence to return here.”

The Breton named Davioc was about to bow, as custom, but didn’t mind the loss.

“And why, Solaris, is that?”

“I believe you’re very well aware.”

Solaris could have easily killed him right there, and the thought strongly influenced him.

“So, you’re saying that you’re truly not aware of what the High Rock division… Your division of the Rising Sun has done?”

Davioc merely glared at Solaris, waiting for him to continue.

He nodded boldly, and began to regret the decision when Solaris gave a vicious smile, almost as though he’d been waiting for this…
