John stood tall before Adams, his posture relaxed yet commanding as he reported back. His serpentine eyes gleamed with satisfaction, a hint of pride in his voice as he spoke. "I've dealt with Lothar and sent Gael back to his father. Though, to be honest," John added with a slight smirk, "it's of no use. The boy won't be able to get through to him. His father's too stubborn."

"And I brought her," he continued, his tone carrying a note of intrigue. "I know you'll find a use for her. She's a fierce warrior. She'll make a good Horseman."
