Soren contemplated the information that had been made available. There was a lot to process, but two questions in particular stood out. Why would the Ayakashi be coming for Soren? It would make sense if they came to find Rankar, but Soren wasn’t that special. Maybe even though the Ayakashi were coming out of stasis, their numbers were too low for their next military campaign. That could explain why they sent Home World Prime Ayakashi out hunting. The Home World Prime Ayakashi could gather half-breed Ayakashi and force them into service of Zlyphila. Also, gathering half-breeds through the use of Home World Prime Ayakashi would mean quick and easy missions without any casualties on the Ayakashi side.

This of course was just speculation, but Rankar would not answer him if Soren asked. Soren saw no point in pursuing this line of thought if no nformation could be obtained. He would just have to make a mental note that should Rankar’s brethren come, Soren would have to capture one and torture the information from them. Under normal circumstance he would just torture Rankar, but unfortunately Lyn’s compassion toward Rankar limited Soren’s course of action. Annoying as Lyn’s weakness was, Soren didn’t want to upset her by harming Rankar.

“Lyn, you mentioned that there isn’t any dark energy on this planet. However, when you exorcised Rankar’s power, you released dark energy into the world. What might the consequences be? Are there going to be greater obstacles than just the Necrons because of this?” asked Soren.

Lyn let out a sigh and gazed out over the horizon as she contemplated what the consequences of her actions might be. Soren sat silently and waited for a response.
