*Busily going about the work of preparing for the upcoming meeting, among other things, Ael notes the graffiti with a sad smile and a shrug. He leaves it alone and continues his work, pondering for a few moments about whether the only ones capable of saving the realm from Blood will ever be able to come together before it’s too late. Nodding to himself with a determined look, he reaffirms the commitment he made to his god, Rofirein, that he will do his utmost regardless of what happens.*
