On the week of the festival of the radiant heir, four out of five noble family heads who came to the kingdom of Valtheris were pulled into a scheme to start a rebellion by fox spirits hiding in the Forbidden Palace.
Rumors began spreading that the dark lord wiped out the noble heads and fox spirits. The raging green flame was a phenomenon practically everybody in Valtheris witnessed.
To hide his involvement and cover his tracks, Damon had Valysara torture him before escaping from an emergency exit she installed centuries ago.
The escape route led outside Valtheris, so Damon instructed her to camp in the forest and wait for him. Even though Valysara was now a one-tailed fox queen, she was still dangerous.
It would be hard to find a beast so close to civilization, strong enough to subdue her.
