Jevan left Verona's office, the mask hiding his smile. He hadn't expected to get an opportunity this quickly. He knew he didn't have a clear plan to topple the gangs of the Lower District on his own. His temporary plan was extremely simple: absorb his Authority by fulfilling more wishes and desires, using the notes left to him by the original Jevan, in the hope that he might one day find a way to crush them later or that by then the war would have resolved itself. At that point, he intended to break the deal between himself and those spirits and leave the Lower District immediately, then find a way later to drive them away from him. The only reason he made such a deal with them came down to two things: first, he knew carrying out such a request would take years, which would grant him peace of mind for a long while. The other reason was a strange feeling he couldn't explain.
