Knight Commander Lavin stood atop her tower as the Autarch and his ten ships sailed off. The sun was still high in the sky, shining almost blindingly off the waves as the ships sped after the wake of its monstrous allies. Her second sidled up to her, and Lavin could almost feel the tension across Covain's shoulders. "Do you trust what he said?"

Lavin sighed. Her gauntleted hands flexed against the parapet, as if to assure herself it was still there, still strong. "I do. He had no reason to lie to us, just as he had no reason to defend us from that monster wave. Or to spend so much of his own power on fixing our town. No. He has earned too much for me to waste time on disbelieving him now."

"Perhaps that was his intent."

"Perhaps. But how long do we hold onto distrust?"

"He is allied with monsters!" Covain pointed out. "He deceived us, infiltrated the Redoubt, and somehow wormed his pet into our Command chamber. If it weren't for his frightful amount of power, I would have charged him with espionage and strung him up."

"Enough. You are right: we cannot oppose them. I may not agree with the actions the Autarch took, but I cannot exert my will against...whatever he is. I suspect a hidden Grandmaster, from the power he clearly contains, and that is in addition to the two other Master Tiers among his company. But he made a deal with the Menders—quite the favorable one for him, according to the Prioress—yet in return, he has left her with a substantial amount of potions, tinctures, and salves." Those were worth as much as their warriors, for without the Menders' talents, they would have been eradicated already.

"What are we to do, ma'am?"

Lavin slapped the parapet and turned away. "The Fathom are not yet here. We will make use of the time given us and prepare. Send the Knights into the boats in force and clear the forest. Have the Gallants prepare the landscape. It may be flooded, we may be surrounded, but we can make the town a nightmare to accost."

"Aye, ma'am. I'll see it done."
