"You are a villain," the Elder said. "By the eyes of all in the Yarmdon. And I consider you such myself. But that does not abdicate you from responsibility. The fact remains, you survived… That's a weighty fact, against all those circumstances that were forced upon you. As bad as you are, and as little of warfare I know, I can't deny your talent."
"There's a threat that looms of the Yarmdon as a whole," the Elder said. "Something I think the majority of us dare not mention. That General Varn didn't want to stand up against it, nor did the King. It seems to me, upon meeting them, that they've all given up… Against Oliver Patrick, they no longer hold the slightest shred of hope."
"What is it that you're getting at?" Vol said, giving the man a harsh look.
