Shederin's Theory

Ves became quite shocked when Shederin Purnesse issued a depressingly poor verdict on the chances that the Larkinson Clan would succeed in its grand expedition.

He deeply wanted to reject the low odds. He bet so much on his journey to the Red Ocean and thought he was making good progress in building up his clan and network of allies.

However, Ves could not dismiss the authority of someone who possessed a greater vision on these kinds of matters. As much as he had grown into his role and tried his best to steer the Larkinson Clan in the right direction, he was well aware that he wasn't cut out for these matters.

It was why he always desired to acquire the experts who could do the thinking on his behalf.

Now that the Avatars and Vandals sacrificed a significant amount of hardware and numerous lives to save the Purnesse Family, he finally accomplished one of his major goals!
