(LXXXI) Departure

"Seraphin... Krige, you sly dog..." Zayin muttered, stroking his beard, lost in thought as his aura slowly receded and everyone present sighed in relief. After a long pause, he announced, "Fortune has smiled upon us... It seems we've missed one... We cannot let him slip through our fingers as we did Shayla!"

"Perfect! I won't have to drop my vendetta against the boy now!" Imperia huffed, crossing her arms underneath her massive chest and leaning back into her chair. 

"Now, Imperia... We can't kill the boy!" Viscardi sighed, shaking his head. 

"No one said anything about killing him, just maiming him a little!" She smirked, covering her mouth as Xoltu burst into laughter. 

"I love this side of you, Imperia!" He chuckled. 

"No, Imperia, you shall leave the boy alone..." Zayin declared, "Xoltu, investigate the boy and his current dealings, I want to know everything!"
