As Oskar kept reminiscing about his meeting with the cartel at the restaurant, his hands began sweating as his built-up stress ate away at him.
While Oskar's wife and child were still conducting their daily lives as normal, they weren't aware they had been marked by a necromancer's curse, which could horribly kill them at any moment.

At the end of their meeting in the restaurant, Netherius made a deal with them, stating that the rebels would share their weaponry in exchange for keeping their lives intact.
It was a shameful deal for the Azure Rebels, but declining would mean the utter end of the entire organization, leaving them with no choice but to accept.
