A Role Model

Fein sat alone in his room, his two shadow emperors summoned in front of him. The chimera ant and archangel bowed to Fein as he inquired about the situation in the South during his absence.

"Well, how was it during my time away?" Fein asked, leaning forward in his chair.

The chimera ant, with his sharp eyes, began to speak. "My Lord, the shadow soldiers have been gathering for the past few weeks, ranging from the smallest events to the biggest."

Fein nodded, his expression serious. "And what events were those?"

The archangel spoke up this time, his voice calm and serene. "There have been some minor skirmishes between the shadow soldiers and other factions, but nothing we couldn't handle. We have also been keeping a close eye on the new businesses and establishments that have cropped up in the South."

Fein leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. "I see. And how has the morale been among our soldiers?"
