DEIMOS
the resurrected sword
Belial, sneaky and conniving at the worst of his measures, suddenly grew very still and rigid. Immediately, his presence was simply gone - just as he’d done all those seasons ago, spying for the Sword as he and the Valkyrie set flame to the very place they sat beside. Perhaps that would put the dragon off.
He gave a slight smile, enough to unclench his jaw for a moment, and an indulgent nod at the settling. It’d been a peaceful couple of months, rather than the dread and apprehension he’d been used to at the height of all the banishments, exiles, and furtive measures.
No, he hadn’t considered the Nightshade a fool, but the more he grumbled about Morgan’s choices, the better, the bitter, the fuel. The sand and surf being sworn to Safrin, being committed to the Old God cause, was enough to ease the tension in his spine, and his gaze went back to the sign he hadn’t finished. He weighed out some other factions in the back of his mind, before his stare rendered back to her. “Understandable. If we manage to take Halo back soon, would you consider alliances?” Or was that all off the table, considering the way the Greatwood was running things? Remi and Maeve certainly weren’t one and the same, but to have the notions and possibilities given air and consideration was better than nothing at all.

under the bludgeonings of chance
my head is bloody, but unbowed
