"Then how do we deal with Verilux?"
The question lingered within the room.
For the first time since the discussion had begun, none of the three leaders answered immediately. The atmosphere changed subtly as Haliaka, Hida and Silverbane exchanged glances with one another.
Eventually Haliaka exhaled.
"There is a way."
My attention sharpened immediately.
Unfortunately she continued before I could ask anything further.
"But the answer doesn't exist within this settlement. The answer exists. Whether we tell you about it is another matter entirely."
That immediately made me narrow my eyes.
Commander Hida raised both hands.
"Don't look at us like that. You appeared in our territory three days ago, started a war in Region Three, awakened Verilux, brought seven Saints into the Prime Territory and now you're asking for information that entire bloodlines have died protecting."
When he put it that way it did sound somewhat unreasonable.
