Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

There is rustling the sounds of weapons being sheathed and replaced upon her person. Then the door clicks shut and all is so utterly silent. Raum’s gaze tips up toward where the Steppe lies before returning to the floor. The girl emerges a thin line, a slender ant, her weapons glittering wickedly in the light. She walks forward and he utters softly to his guards, “Follow her and let me know what she finds.”
