Chapter Epilogue
Gerald: Why did you save him?
Drognaus: I didn’t.
Gerald: But I shot him directly in the heart in a dead zone. He shouldn’t have been able to heal.
Drognaus: It will take more than that to kill him.
Gerald: What makes him so special?
Drognaus: Nothing. He is just the victim of circumstance. In the wrong place at the wrong time.
Gerald: What do we do with him now?
Drognaus: Let him continue with his goals.
Gerald: But he will bring ruin to us.
Drognaus: Perhaps, but he will also save us at the same time.
Gerald: I don’t understand.
Drognaus: You don’t need to. You only need to do as you are ordered.
Gerald: (silence)
Drognaus: Rest assured old friend. I have seen the moment of his death. You will not be the one to strike the blow, but you are the one holding him down when his head is removed from his shoulders.
