The Supreme Ruler did not know what to expect when he brought Cemel back from the Swords dimension. But it would be interesting, and challenging to see how far the Alchemist would go, and what he had up his sleeve.
However, if there was one thing Kalvich abhorred was being unprepared and therefore at a disadvantage. He recalled an Earth expression Leah had mentioned a long time agodont get caught with your pants down.
He managed a trace of a smile and then it was gone.
Even worse, he hated performing reverse ritual. Though the act was extremely rare, each time the Swords possessor called back an immortal, the collective powers within the Swords domain were diluted, and never totally recovered even if the Sword re-claimed the same immortal back. In this situation, he had no choice.
Hell be expecting me to do this.
