The Hand Holding the Knife

<p class=ql-align-justify>What should have been a quick jaunt into Forbes Cave turned into a forty year absence and the Cult of the Akari is in quadruple overtime to make their move. If they can't pull something off in the next election it's straight into Borelian slavery for everyone.</p><p class=ql-align-justify>Except things aren't looking so great at home. Cassius' reputation has faded into obscurity and the dragon is ready to release the bullet in his face. He needs to prove himself or else risk falling into the same abyss where he's sent all of his victims over the centuries.</p><p class=ql-align-justify>This sends Rifun scrambling to find a way to vanquish the dragon once and for all but he finds himself fearfully alone in his endeavor. He believes that if he can somehow rally the chosen ones of the Author they can work together for this noble cause. Problem is none of them want anything to do with him. Even Julianna though trapped in the in-between dimension is lackluster in her support.</p><p class=ql-align-justify>As Cassius and Rifun become more desperate in their respective missions they may just discover what it means to look in the mirror and see the one responsible for all of their problems.</p><p><br></p>
