A flash of enlightenment crossed Cain's eyes as he heard the Night Prince's offer, and the puzzle pieces clicked into place. The Night Prince wanted him to act as a spy, someone embedded deep within Core Elder Azure's faction.
'If my guess is correct, he might already have someone placed in Elder Lucius' faction. I might not even be the only spy he intends to plant in Elder Azure's faction.' Those thoughts crossed Cain's mind as he gauged at the man before him.
The depth of the Night Prince's planning became clear to Cain. This was no simple maneuver. The man before him was a schemer, someone who thought several steps ahead. Even the method of contacting Cain through this dream dimension was a calculated move. By using a dream, there would be no evidence of their meeting, making it easier for Cain to infiltrate Core Elder Azure's faction without suspicion.
