It was a masterclass in mercenary tactics!” “Hahaha! Don’t give me too much credit. Anyone could have done it.” Teron is the character…

Somewhere in a dark, underground cavern, two men clad in grimy robes sat at a round table. Tap. One of the men, whose fingers were so pale and slender they hardly seemed to belong to a man, raised his hand and began to rhythmically tap on the table. Tap. Tap. Tap-tap-tap. His tapping was filled…
