Scapegoat.

Salvin nodded. "Whatever it is that's going on, Soverick is in big trouble."

As the current generation of sages, they get frequent updates about Soverick. Besides, it will be almost impossible for everyone on the plane not to know when he activated his call for help. So they know that Soverick has never used the ability, and they know its importance if his title is to be taken from him. Knowing everything that they know, they believe that Soverick's situation is not good.

Salvos broke the silence. "He is good though. He is very talented. Too bad that he is unlucky. I'll miss him when he is gone."

Salvin turned to him and asked, "Are you not going to save him from our sister?"

"No. It is his fate, and I don't care enough to interfere. If he is so special, then he should be able to come out of this alive."

Salvin didn't believe him. "Sure. Leave it to fate. I just don't find it surprising that you wouldn't help someone that beat you twice."
