The lioness waited as the four fell in around her, unbothered by the growing group. Though she planned on telling their leader in person, the woman’s impatience prevented her from wanting to spend too much time standing around here. Sweeping a look across their faces, she nodded to them before making her little speech.

“My news concerns your ally, the Rosebloods. A while ago, I was captured by them – and I heard and saw them sacrifice sentient animals to their gods. I was tortured and killed in the name of one of their fictitious delusions,” she explained, lashing her flame-tipped tail. Ninazu hated exposing her own weakness – how pathetic, to let such things happen to her – but if she wanted to chip away at the Rosebloods’ alliances, she wouldn’t hold back any details. “I also saw, through my mental abilities, memories from one of their high positions watching and doing nothing as their leader sacrificed sentient animals during regular meetings. I don’t believe the Rosebloods are simply sacrificing known enemies – as I witnessed, through those memories, their fanatic leader calling for senseless violence and murder to appease their bloodthirsty gods.”

Clearly, Ninazu disliked religion. Given her experience, however, that was understandable. “Their other ally, the Ascendants, wasn’t aware of their barbaric practices when I told them. I’m assuming neither of you knew?” she added, with a curve of her brow. Ninazu heard that the Rosebloods dropped the leash on at least a few of their members; though the Ascendants hadn’t personally witnessed their cruelty, Ninazu assumed Tanglewood might’ve experienced some secondhand shit from the religious dirtbags.
