Vykdyti. Of all the people to find waiting for him in his chambers, Vyrl supposed Vykdyti was about the best he could hope for. She had a surprisingly level head, and wasn't exactly likely to get herself or anyone else killed through carelessness. Had Lexius shown up and attempted to give him "orders," he might just have snapped and done something rash -- it had been a long day. But he respected Vykdyti, if begrudgingly.
Vyrl had an ego; he was aware of it, and knew it had isolated him from his own race, his "family" that had refused to hear of his successes, his genius, his advances. Still, he
was
among the greatest necromancers of his age, and he had every right to be proud of the fact. He alone could face off against and conquer death itself, and he had every intention of doing so. He had long known that the vampires around him were nothing, simply a means to an end, a source for bodies and security. Already, the current attack had him seriously reconsidering his choice of home.
Had Lexius or even Balta herself stormed into
his
chambers and
commanded
him to continue to fix their breaches in security, he would have set them straight immediately. He was too tired, too angry, and too weak to consider rational thought -- but he respected Vykdyti, and it was enough to make him pause and consider his options.
The Knight was his priority -- it had to be. It had some sort of connection with Lia, there was something there he was missing. What would they do? Had Lia actually attacked her own kind? Was he in danger from her?
If she comes for me, he will come with her.
But what if she did not? Not knowing was infuriating. Where would she go? Where would
he
go?
...the Resistance.
