In the dark passageways darting between buildings of Balian, and then Haense and finally settling upon Aaun. A Heretical Devotee, donning the perhaps-false name of Aspen, cackled. He looked upward, red ink dripping from his fingers and staining cobbles as light began to creak through hanging clothes and window planters. The sight of light, which he had not seen in two Draconic weeks, a long time. He kept looking, the more intense it got - singeing his eyeballs red - it only fuelled his laughter more.
The red-robed heretic stumbled out into the street. His crowd was invisible, yet he shouted all the same. "Don't you see?!" The man wheezed, his raspy voice dragging along the brickwork. "The Red Sun hath given you all mercy! His grasp eases for now... Hark! He will return, and those not under his wings will not be the ones to rise from the ashes which are left."
And with that, he stumbled off into the wilderness. He threw himself against a rock and let out a vigorous cough, revealing talons scratching upward on the rock's surface in defence.
