(Sigh) you are too bold! If I had you under my tutelage, you would have patience and discipline infused into your every being! You speak to your target therefore you know her position, yet you seek to take her before she is given her gift?
You fool, I would have slowly been working her down but keep her on the same path… “Perhaps Salkeen is not the demon lord you thought he was… I will save you, but not yet…” lead her to get her newly crafted armor made the master’s finest engineers and smiths and take her after she has a body to turn on them with…
I do wonder how would Yumara react if the master did manage to get Ebony on his side? How she might react if the master had Ebony with them even if they were not aligned with Salkeen? Seems like a hard path, but the path to survival and victory isn’t always easy or good…
