Pallas thought he saw through Brando's intentions.
But this old knight would never understand what sort of existence he was up against beyond this forest. Just as Brando was familiar with every lord of Erune--whether past, present, or future--no matter if they were powerful or destitute.
He knew these people as intimately as his own fingerprints.
From the year of Flowers and Summer Leaves until the early Second Epoch, he had dealt with virtually every lord of Erune, big and small.
If Pallas knew Brando could call out his obscure childhood name from decades ago, he might reconsider his choices.
But history has no ifs--
When Brando first received the news in his study at Fir City that the old knight had retreated to Pallas, he couldn't help but smile and tossed the information from the 'Raven' back onto the desk.
Raven was his term for frontline wizard scouts, as they often used ravens to convey messages, giving rise to this nickname in the army.
