Having learned the Dark Breath and Black Moon Meditation Technique, Argon left alone.
Charles watched the lonely figure of this Elephant Man disappear beyond the horizon. He had offered to give him a ship, but Argon refused, choosing to reach Cappadocia in his own way.
Charles knew many Beastmen, like Philedrica and the Leopard Man Tumishen, as well as the assassins who wanted to kill him and the overwhelming Beastman armies, but none had ever been like Argon. He was brave and unparalleled in valor, yet inherently kindhearted. He feared no battle and wanted to save his people, yet these characteristics doomed the Elephant Man Argon to profound solitude.
Charles could understand the loneliness of this uniquely talented Beastman, but creatures like Tumishen could likely never grasp it.
Perhaps...
Only the grand chief of the Orc Assassin Alliance, who had proposed the doctrine against man-eating, Septimius, might understand this young Elephant Man.
