"...I see."Martyn opened his eyes, staring at the Devil Sword. Despite Sharne's protestations, with Kaldach's strength, he'd at least hoped it might be useful in the liberation of Izzarra. Even if it was a strange thing, sharper than it seemed it should be, giving him an eerie feeling in the pit of his stomach whenever he could see it draw near enough to touch. But now...
It--or things like it--apparently posed a greater risk than he thought.
"So, Mordo has been using these... Cursed weapons, in order to build a force of hardened super soldiers. I've seen you when you handle the blade; I don't like the idea of that being turned against our people. Particularly not if you're right. Because if you are..."He paused. If he was right, and if Mordo had perfected this process Kaldach described, then it might not matter what forces they brought against it. An army of bloodthirsty berserkers hell bent on domination of his home, and possibly beyond... One didn't do something like this, unless they were planning for an all-out war.
A piece fell into place. How sudden was it all, after the unexplained attack of Izzarra's king? How many had been lost, in the brutality of the occupation? Killed, or imprisoned, or driven away. Who had been left in their wake?
Not for the first time, Martyn hoped what was left of his family had gotten away safe.
"Kaldach. This is important. Do you have any evidence? Any incontrovertible proof?"
