From Angus' point of view

I sat at the steering of the ship and bit my lip. What have I done? I attacked my home. Why? Because it was they who sent me on the road then? Well, technically, they weren't. Those who were were from a different reality, but in appearance and behaviour, they were the same as my parents. So disgustingly the same...
Because they let me die? Because it was Ralathor who threw me into the lava, at that time? Well, it was at my request, but... I kind of didn't know he was going to do it.
How lucky I was that there was a rocky promontory and I flew right on it, so I only took it away with a few fractures...
I put my hand on my left eye as incredible pain swept through my body. A message appeared on one of the monitors. I opened it. It was from Hootsman. He wanted to talk. I sighed.
I recognized that invading Dundee in this way was not the best idea, but as he confirmed to me at our last meeting, it was the best way to infiltrate Crail and gain their trust. Zargothrax and his army believed I was on their side. Now Dundee and the whole country of Fife probably believed in it as well.
My mind flew to Ralathor. Poor guy. What have I exposed him to again? He must have thought of me as a traitor.
The undead unicorn, which was standing behind me, snorted. I let the ship levitate in the air and walked over to it.
"Keep calm, Galaxy. Everything will be good," I said, stroking the mare's head.
At that moment, another message appeared on the monitor. It was from Proletius. I opened it. It was in it, that he, along with the knights of the fortress on Triton, returned to Zargothrax, who was in Crail.
I told him, that I wanted to look at Dundee's weaknesses and that I would come back later, after which he asked if I needed a backup. I wrote to him that I didn't need anyone. That I can do this myself.
We will meet in Crail. Appeared on the monitor.
I turned it off and headed with my ship to the cave complex outside the city, through which you could get to the castle if you knew the way. This is where Hootsman wanted to meet me.
I landed a piece from him, so as not to attract unwanted attention, turned off the engines, attached the hammer of Glory with the straps to my back, put a narrow sword to the waist, opened the door and led the Galaxy out. She may have been an undead unicorn, but she was amazing. She was strong, beautiful and intelligent.
"Exactly, like Illona..." I said quietly.
I smiled. That relationship could no longer be saved.
I climbed onto the back of Galaxy and gently squeezed her groin. She rushed forward violently. I enjoyed the gentle breeze leaning into my scarred face.
However, an evil hunch forced me to pull the tape off the eye I was hiding. At that moment, I was sure I wasn't in the woods alone...
