A slaughtered calf upon which they may gorge themselves as the true contenders waged a meaningless war.
Seen the advantage in such tactics, evident the lack of defense as elsewhere were combatants engaged, yet foul and lowly still. His protest had been held, teeth grinding against the tip of his tongue as the sweetly spun promise fell from ruined visage, a game grown the destruction of flesh once painted across exposed calcium. Choice to shun the proposed course had not arisen, and thus among them had he found himself, an old fool running the errand of a child for a monster donning the skin of another.
Hushed the voices that stirred humid air, idle the talk filling those seconds that trickled past without cause. Broken those simple threads, of no importance and thus easy their replacement with affirmation of preparation, ringing forth through the densely packed trees the harsh cry. A dark shade caught in brief glimpse through the canopy their guide, vis continued calls correcting trajectory as it shifted from course, a raucous din continued even as dive commenced. Averted vision that peered along thinned undergrowth, cleared in part to permit ease of access, cover enough their force may be ambushed even as their own assault began.
Internal the first defense, as lacking as such proved. Slow his ascension towards open doors, observation of the temple lazy as threshold was crossed. Well in hand the singular resident, the poor condition he was within apparent enough he would be incapable of handling either of them. Disregarded the bobcat after momentary inspection, rather observed the remains that paraded about with stolen time, hard the edge to rasping murmur. "We have no time for this, put him out of his misery and be done with it." No place of authority did Dylluan hold, above Vale nor within their distant home, yet still it seeped through each word slipping through clenched teeth.
