“It is not for glory, or power, or any other self-serving purpose; it is because we have been called to the highest service, unbound by the arbitrary limitations of the law,” Johvad addressed the group that had assembled together in the old church basement to receive word of the new direction of their service. As was common, Zaeleth made no effort to be among the first to arrive, or to be near to his friend and mentor as he addressed them. It was by no means indicative of his dedication to the organization, or his love and support of his friend, he simply tended to do what was necessary when it was necessary; aside from that, he was usually an easy going, light hearted individual who could even come off outwardly as lackadaisical. “We, and those who preceded us, have never bowed or answered to any mortal on this world.

But at the same time, we do our best to serve them all.” The assembly was captivated by his words, even though he didn’t deliver them with any great charisma, just deep conviction. “It is clear what the Coalition intends to do, and the repercussions it will bring on our entire planet. There is no stopping that now. So, we must do what we have always done, we must be where we are needed, in whatever way we are needed, for the greater good of all of existence.” Zaeleth and Johvad met eyes briefly through the small crowd, and Zaeleth, with pursed lips and fierce brows, shook his head in approval to his friend’s words.
