Halo of Greatness

On the second floor of The Cage where all the administrative operations were carried out, Liriel—still in Silver Vess' disguise—and Kael were in the former's office, going over their plan of action.

Liriel pointed at several points on the map sprawled out on the wide mahogany table and solemnly stated, "These are the places we can expect a scuffle to emerge in the following days. All we need to do is spark the fire."

She gazed at Kael, who was standing with his arms crossed and with a solemn look on his face, and asked softly, "Kael… are you alright?"
