Eira(muttering softly):
The Ironfist Merchant Guild? How could they collude with the Oathbreakers?
Ironfist Guild Member(skeptically):
Can this shard really locate the ring under the throne? Don't fool us with a fake.
Oathbreaker Member(sneering) :
Relax. When the Blood Moon rises, it will guide us to the seal's weakness. We've already arranged with both clans—the werewolves will be distracted, and the Vampire King is waiting for us to offer the shard as a token of our sincerity.
Eira's dagger accidentally hits the tree, making a noise.
Oathbreaker Member (alert, scanning the area):
Who's up there?!
Guild Member:
Come out! Or we'll take you down!
Eira (calmly, leaning out) :
You collude with the Oathbreakers to covet the Shadow Ring—aren't you afraid of the Stellar Council’s punishment?
Oathbreaker Member (scoffing):
The Stellar Council has long been gone! You think you can scare us with that outdated name?
Guild Member(urgently, pricking up his ears) :
It’s the werewolves! Their howls are getting closer. Stop wasting time with her—let's go!
Oathbreaker Member(maliciously, glaring at the oa:
If we catch you again, we’ll kill you!
The two turn and vanish into the dense forest. Eira already has an arrow nocked and must make an immediate decision.
