Breaking Down Walls

The hole was big enough that Ignita could probably fit through it by now. Which meant it was still a while away before the massive Warlord could squeeze through. He did however stick his head through the gap, trying to see what he could of the collapsed tunnel beyond. A mystery, he loved a good mystery.

He pulled his head back, and paused his destruction. Letting Ignitas story fill him. She was good at this, her voice was pleasant and she had a way with words that captivated. He could almost smell it. Almost. He wondered where one might find a desert bloom.

He blinked at the question, surprised at the change in topic. Why did she want to know about Spider? “Hazel found them left behind by their parents, not far from Armadas old territory. She realised they had been abandoned, and brought them back here. I taught them how to hunt, how to look after a blade…” They’d been a cute kid, and had always amazed him how excited they were to spend time with him, even over the littlest things. His own parents had never shown such wonder. He’d fallen in love with that feeling, of Spider. Enough that he understood he wanted to adopt them as own. To give them what his own parents had refused to give Basilisk. “Spider is a good kid. They deserve more than our parents gave us.”
