The sudden appearance of the Kux faction Magus seemed too conveniently timed to be a mere coincidence. Emery was sure that they harbored ill intentions, especially considering their intrusion at such a critical stage of the tribulation. With his Senior's safety hanging in the balance, Emery braced himself for the possibility of a confrontation.
The planet they stood upon was a treacherous realm where danger lurked around every corner. Unexplained incidents were not uncommon in such an environment, and Emery knew all too well that some Magus would stop at nothing to achieve their goals. The presence of multiple teleportation gates, controlled by factions with their own agendas, only added to the intrigue. For the right price, even a rogue Magus could gain access to this planet, slipping unnoticed to seek their gain.
