"Red bro," Skullius said as the two reached the end of the line of trees. "I don't know what's going to happen at the Royale. For all I know, we may not be able to see this place again. Maybe I'll be the one in trouble and you'll still be here. If that happens, keep this place safe and anyone who comes wanting to be protected."
"I'm probably too untrusting for it and so is Silrat, but you... Protect our partners if something goes wrong and the people in this territory under the Bryne Family wing."
Red Rage once again felt a pulse through his connection with Skullius.
His master was unsettled.
Perhaps like the entirety of Pelian, he too felt a thrum in his body that warned of the possible calamity.
Red Rage was worried too.
He would have preferred to have a Control Seal and be a witness or contender in the Royale, but they were way past that point.
