Owen and Hamish took a sharp intake of breath as soon as they recognized the silhouette beside Kyran.
A human-shaped puppet.
They had seen Kyran use them during the Lumley Family's assault in the Blacksmith Order. At that time, all of them were awed at the sight of the three puppets moving about, performing first aid, maintaining an array, and even talking like real humans. It was truly a divine experience for an Array Specialist to see such an almost flawless creation.
But after the incident in the order, Kyran had not used them again. Because of it, they sort of forgot all about them. Well, that was not exactly correct. They did not really forget the puppets but after being asked by the Chairman to represent the Conclave in the Joint Military Exercise, they could barely hold themselves together from the pressure.
