'To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself…' I repeated another phrase from the great Sun Tzu and it helped calm me down as the quote reinforced in my mind the idea that an opportunity had just fallen on my lap.
"Liara tells me you've been helping her with further expressing her magic which she's been struggling with until recently, mister…" A frown appeared on his perfect face. "Forgive me, I didn't catch your name?"
This was it. Moment of truth. If he recognized my name, I had better be prepared to fight to the death.
"Will, sir," I replied evenly. "Will Wisdom."
In hindsight, Wisdom hadn't been my original last name so he probably wouldn't have recognized it. Do cultists even know the names of the people they murdered?
"And you are also a novice of the tower, Will?" Lorias confirmed.
I nodded.
