“It pains me to say so,” Albert began, “but the Autocrat won’t be reasoned with as I first had hoped. Any chance of that died with the Trinity’s foul assassination. After you have voiced your plan, Lucius, I have some information to share that affects us all.”

“Thank you Albert,” Lucius continued. “My plan may seem radical at first but please bear with me. We have acquired more power than you may realise. As you know we have now become the dominant faction on Rura, and we plan to continue reaching outwards but I have no illusions of doing so alone. I came here to bestow upon Kaine the same advantage that was bestowed upon me in the hopes that he would join forces with me.” He set his focus onto Kaine. “I was hoping the rumours about your deal with the Autocrat were true, my old friend.”

“I never wanted to overthrow the Trinity,” Kaine grumbled. “I was just bored and wanted a bit of action. But those miserable old fucks couldn’t just let me go my own way, and when they saw that I was working for the Autocrat they got paranoid. When they killed his wife over nothing but a theory in their senile old heads, that’s when I knew that one day I’d make them pay.”

“We’re in – for a big piece of the pie, that is,” Kat cut in.

“Good to know that you’re enthusiastic, but please allow me to finish first,” Lucius said. “You may not like where this is going.”

“Fine, okay, sorry. Carry on,” Kat replied in a strop.

Lucius continued. “In short I plan to overthrow the Trinity of Old, either by exterminating them all or by trapping them permanently in their Catacombs, and establishing a new power structure that works in favour of the ‘modern day’ Supernatural. No simple act of violence or vandalism, no minor spat of rebellion, but full on total annihilation.” Lucius gestured towards Winton. “That is my advantage standing right there. Winston, my primary Book Wielder, acquired an artefact that allows him, and him alone, to open stable portals into the Gloom. Thanks to him we are able to trade sweets, candy and chocolate on mass for crate loads of alchemical ingredients. With the influx of rare and powerful potions being created, we destroyed the Triumvir with relative ease. With Winston onside, you too will be able to stock your gangs up with enough potions to take out your competition with the same ease.”

Winston had never tried letting another Book Wielder use the quill so he wasn’t sure if he was the only one capable of using it or not, but he understood Lucius’ lie. If any of the other gangs got too ambitious and tried taking Winston out to get the quill for themselves then it wouldn’t do them any good. Hopefully they would believe Lucius and not bother putting the theory to the test.

“Meat,” Lewis blurted to the group. “They like raw meat too.”

“Yes, and raw meat too.
