Plotting

Brian smiles as he looks at Deron, "You flatter me! But yes, you are correct. In terms of our strength, I am the second strongest warrior."

"I thought the right hand to the prince was the second strongest!" Kairon says as his hand trembles slightly.

"That is a very common misconception, but no. While Herald was strong, he was the right hand to the prince because of his loyalty and that he had plateaued long ago. The prince never wanted me to be a servant as he saw my potential." Brian says as he places his hand on the hilt of his sword.

"I apologize for cutting this conversation short, but I must complete my mission." Brian sighs with genuine remorse in his voice.

"Maya, step to the left!" Deron shouts just in time as a massive gash appears on the ground when Brian appears right next to Maya who just barely stepped away in time.

"I should have realized... The Omniven eyes, quite the powerful gift my friend." Brian comments.
