"I believe a being of tremendous power is about to devastate the surface. If the Faros are seen aiding in its demise, I'm sure you will be allowed to at least settle on the mainland," I explained calmly.
Typhon said nothing, considering the possible outcomes.
"What being are you referring to?" he asked.
"I'm not sure," I responded casually. Lying had become a second-nature ability to me, its utility unmatched in the cruel world of Earth.
