In the present day, The Triumvirate conspires with their Grand Inquisitor. For the events that led to Valinorth's Destruction had yet to be set in motion. Sovy notes before his master's, more eager to serve than he had ever been before. ". Rise, Sovy. But please assure us of your certainty. we'd hate to act without knowing everything." The Triumvirate spoke their voices echoing throughout the halls.
" The Prisoner mentions "Valinorth" over and over. The Rebels Are hiding something of importance there. along with the recent events, we can only survive one thing. " Sovy says as he rises. " The Blade of Exodus" the white-clad tyrants speak with curiosity.
Sovy Nods, " I am almost certain. but if that's where they have chosen to hide it? It means our other Target is also there. "
"Your compliance pleases us, Sovy. Your plan was risky, but it worked out in the end. a final interrogation would influence our decision further."The Triumvirate says with a pleased tone.
Sovy raises an eyebrow, " you'd have me integrate the prisoner once more? if I may be so bold– to what end do you request this? "
"Not you, Sovy. We want your Apprentice to do this. It is time for him to prove his worth. "The tyrants said with a smile in their voice as it echoed loudly through the darkened chambers. it mattered not which Triumvir spoke, For they were all of One mind. with clear irritation in his voice, Sovy did his best to stay calm, "My Apprentice..? I've told you many times, I want to work alone. it would be more efficient for me to do this by myself!"
Clearly loving the man's irritation, the white-cladded ones said, " Insubordination... This is Unbecoming of you Sovy. We demand that you obey the role of Grand InquisitorCan be dangerous. if we were to lose you a replacement would be necessary. you must train this replacement while you still breathe. "
" As you command. " Sovy reluctantly agreed.
Sovy Turned his back to The Triumvirate and spotted his Apprentice. he was standing by the door listening to their conversation. if he heard Sovy's this taste for him he showed no concern. "Interrogation, hmm? And what would you have me extract? I thought the prisoner was at his wit's end. "
Sovy Scuffed and scowled at the boy, " Anything to confirm our suspicions about Valinorth. If you fail, I will not hesitate to punish you. Remember what we're on the verge of. "
At the words of "punish" a low medicine growl emerged from the Shadows that made the leopard man stiff. once it died down the man relaxed, " I understand, Master I'll do my best to get what you need. What are the limits when it comes to my Approach? "
" Keep him alive, Halin. I find that psychological pain is the most valid approach. He cares more for his Rebel Allies than he does for himself." Sovy said matter of factly.
Halin Smiled evilly, his voice dripping Venom, " Then I will threaten the Rebellion's very core. I am grateful to have this opportunity, Master. things are starting to look up for me. "
Sovy nodded, "They tend to do that when you have the Triumvirate's blessing. We should take care of this immediately and catch them unprepared. every moment we waste– is a moment they gain, Halin" Sovy Instructs his Apprentice.
they start to leave the room when Halin stops and glances at the Triumvirate. Sovy seems to understand Halin's likely motives so he nods and waits at the end of the hallway outside the room. Halin looks behind the Triumvirate And his eyes soften as he says gently, " I'll be back shortly to talk with you... I love you... Father."
to glowing lime green eyes appear behind the Triumvirate As does a mouth of shining Ivory teeth. the teeth form a gentle smile and the mouth opens, speaking in a kind low gravelly voice, " I look forward to that Halin. and I love you too, Son."
Halin bows, walks out the door to catch up with Sovy, And they talk amongst themselves. The Triumvirate Wait until they're completely gone before speaking. a faint smile on their faces, as age-old plans come to fruition. " So it's finally going to happen, isn't it? What we've been waiting for all these years? Do you think we should tell Sovy our true plan? " What are the white cloud tyrants asks
The growling emerges once more as the body with the Ivory teeth and lime green eyes gracefully strides out of the shadows. a large Snow Leopard with pristine white as snow wings Bares his fangs at the three-robed tyrants, "You think you're so clever. taking my fur and turning into a boy, such insult. "
One of the three Chuckles half-heartedly, "We are clever. We know that the boy will do anything for us. "
This angered the mighty beast and with the mighty Roar he tried to leap to attack the three, but the silver chains on his ankles restrained him. The Triumvir who taunted him walked forward to the leopard's pained form as the Beast growled, "Don't underestimate the bond between father and son! "
The Triumvir clicked his tongue, "Tut, tut, tut. That's what we're hoping for... Mandareous."
