Finale [2]

"How do you feel about coming to work under me?"

Damien's shocking words were only heard by the two of them. Unbeknownst to the others, Damien's plan was never to kill Tephit.

In the many days he spent devouring Tephit Clan elders, he was able to piece together a story that none other than him could see, the story of the Tephit Clan Head that would never be revealed to the masses.

Comprehending this story allowed him a different perspective on the happenings of Aquazyl, and at the same time, made him consider changing his approach.

Even the meeting between the two had been set up many nights prior. Damien used a special contact signal known to the Tephit Clan's elders to do so.

"Work under you? That's quite a comical thing to hear from a junior, don't you think?" Tephit teased with a smile. He didn't seem to take Damien's words to heart.
