NERON
show me how defenceless you really are
Neron’s laughter was soft - dangerous, perhaps - and he gazed at Amalia with cold eyes. ”I do not consider myself above any god,” he said. ”Unfortunately I do not find myself standing here speaking with gods today. Instead I find myself here with you - those who say you speak on their behalf with no proof of this fact.”
Then to Jigano, ”Six rulers in less than a year is one thing. Having such little faith in your current ruler is entirely another, and you have made your position clear from your comments. I, on the other hand, mean to speak with the person who has been elected to preside over the Hollowed Grounds, and decide from there what restrictions may be necessary on travel or otherwise.”
He spread his hands, as if to indicate that they were to leave the little office. ”Halo is yours to explore, and I have taken your comments on board. Should there be any worrying developments I assure you I will be the first to tighten our security.”
And that, as they say, was that. The group would get little more out of the Warden, other than a warm mug of wine and free travel through the city.
