As Romulus and his escort of five assassins neared the Gates of Heaven the horns sounded and the great gate was opened for them to enter Waa standing before them in the gate,” Romulus your aura has much anticipation so I ask, what have you done this time?”

Romulus walks within the gate before pulling from within his black cloak a set of shoulder armor plates with the marks known to be the symbol of the Unitate,”we may have had a small run in with the Unitate on the way but their ranks were scrambled and confused in the dessert so I doubt they know we were even there.”

“So you found it appropriate to kill those amongst them whom spotted you? Yet you leave parts of this one’s cloak behind that will trace them back to us.” States Waa as he lifts the cloak of one of the assassins, with his mind, there being a large tear in the cloak from it snagging onto something. “Next time Romulus I will advise you to cover your tracks so I do not have to do so later.” Waa turns and walks away to his tower Romulus following at his side as they speak in a low voice so no others may hear their conversation, “this beam of light is as we feared and the cause of a relic wanting to be taken by a guild?”

“Why do you ask questions, whilst just getting the answers from my memory as you please?”

“Because I would rather hear you say it so I know your memories on this event have not been tampered with. The relic we are facing Romulus is the fabled Pool of Memories, none of your men drank from it did they?”

“Only one my liege but he did not seem to be himself on our return.”

“Bring him to my tower in an hour’s time, until then I must ask you to go about one’s own affairs as I do the same.”
