Glax and his colleagues watched in awe as the imposing flotilla docked in Marbium harbor. Several warriors got off before they caught sight of Archigeos Demophon, impossible to miss. As expected from a head of state, considerable staff accompanied him, but Glax soon realized that the other ships were carrying soldiers in large numbers.
The valosian ended up opening a smile when he saw that this was an official reinforcement for Marbium! Glax hurried to meet the clan leader, alongside Lord Tarsos. Alexandre followed close behind, crestfallen, and wanting to remain unnoticed.
"Ah, there's this kid!" The Archigeos's thunderous voice echoed from the pier, his eyes finding his youngest son in an instant. Glax placed a hand on his ward's shoulder, assuring him he would be there to help.
"Archigeos! We were getting ready to board in response to your letter!" the valosian greeted.
