Towers of Reckoning

Rarely did stupor serve any purpose. On that night, as Chandra failed to process his disciples' words, stupor didn't help. The same words left the disciples' lips.

"The Cardinal Light Lord is leading the full force of the Radiant Light Mountain for an all-out attack! Please give us instructions!"

This time, Chandra knew he couldn't change reality by feigning ignorance, and looked left and right, seeking a reason for this turn of events. He found none. Therefore, he turned back toward his disciples.

"Why? It's not even been twenty-four hours since he helped mediate the Sea Dream situation. We have neither grievances nor enmities. Why would that pedantic Rishi fuck lead troops to our gates? It makes no bloody sense!"

Chandra cursed, but behind the door, the disciples wore an "if you ask me, who do I ask?" expression. The boldest of the two, however, replied.

"It seems to be...because of your eminence."

*BAM*
