Elias’ nostrils flared, which was the only sign that he had lost his temper at that moment. He then shot up from his chair, kicking it aside as he stood. This in turn, earned a surprised shriek from Aedwyn, who was still in the corner.

But rather than draw his blade, or inflict physical abuse upon the captive Lizard; he instead leaned in close, putting his face mere inches from hers and looked her straight in the eyes.

“Do. ''Not. Think. About lecturing me, on what’s at stake…….And do. Not. Think. To threaten me, with my people……They have endured more war, strife and hardship, than you easterners could ever dare ''stomach.” He hissed, his voice quiet but no less harsh.

“And just between you and me; I don’t give a damn about the church! It is run by rotten, corrupt men, who use the words of the heavens for their own gain. But I do care about humanity! I do care about the world! Even lands, as distant as yours! And believe it or not; I do care for monster kind, as you all have bits and pieces of humanity in you now! And yet…..!” Elias paused and stood up, turning away from Nadine.

He then walked over to the nearby window, taking deep, calming breaths as he went. After a few breaths, and a moment of looking out on the island, he turned back to face Nadine; his voice returning to its usual composure.

“It frustrates me, Nadine. It frustrates me deeply, that you, and all monster kind, remain blind. Blind to the crisis that threatens this world. The crisis that neither gods nor demons can solve....” He paused again as he approached her.

“Do you even know of what I speak, Nadine?” He asked genuinely.
