When Ethan and Rattlesnake arrived at the temple, Flor was kneeling devoutly before a brazier, turned away from them. Black flames burned in the brazier, and a strange incense scent spread throughout the hall. The statues here looked somewhat peculiar, with two long black streaks beneath each statue's eye sockets.
Compared to their last meeting in Ophira, Flor had changed a lot.
From a passionate orator, he had turned into a mystic, reminiscent of a CEO of a publicly listed company who, having been impeached by the board and cast out, found a place to retreat from worldly affairs.
"You've arrived."
Flor opened his eyes and spoke without turning his head, "Welcome, Mr. Ethan."
