After the meeting of the Night Blades elders concluded, Howard and Kent quickly departed.
Both men were eager to dedicate all their time to targeting Irving. They understood clearly that their next actions needed to succeed if they were to gain the leader of the Night Blades' forgiveness.
The two elders made their way directly to the misty space owned by Elder Howard.
In the misty space, they finally had the opportunity to discuss a specific course of action.
Elder Kent spoke directly.
"We must learn from the lessons of our previous mission. When facing Irving, we cannot act impulsively. We must wait for a lethal opportunity."
Elder Howard agreed with Kent's statement.
However, he believed that a truly lethal opportunity might not present itself.
If they continued to wait without encountering such an opportunity, would they not be allowing Irving's plans to succeed?
