Strange Allegiances

Marrin and Ray walk through her palace as they talk. Ray's eyes dart around, scanning the environment while observing the movements of all of the angels and others under Marrin's command. "Well, Samantha, what do you want to discuss?"

"Peace," Marrin replies, leading Ray out to a balcony on a higher floor, "I am not so prideful that I believe any more conflict with you would go in my favor. However, it would not be entirely pleasant for you either. I have quite a few allies, and I doubt you want to suffer more losses."

"Peace..." Ray leans against the balcony's edge, "You want to be my friend now? From what I've been told, you helped slaughter a lot of innocent people before I showed up, because you all thought they were my worshippers. I don't have any reason to believe you won't try to do that again. Except this time, you would be slaughtering people I care for."
