"We have endured tide and storm for centuries. To lean too heavily on another would shame us. Yet we will never forget that it was you who carved open the night and broke the Murder. Our strength now is because you gave us the chance to find it again."
Damon nodded. "Okay. Just don't hesitate to let me know if you need any help. We will probably be here for some more time until the portal stabilizes."
"Your presence alone steadies the tide, my Lord. With you here, even the dark currents hesitate to stir."
Damon could only chuckle helplessly at the guy's stubborn attitude. "Flattery aside, it's good that you're not letting victory make you complacent. Enemies have a way of sniffing out weakness the moment you relax. Keep your warriors sharp. There is also something else I need to talk to you about. I hope you are not offended by my words."
