The Sigma didn't look too pleased. No one in the Custody did, now he thought of it. The silence was deafening as he was marched into a large attendance hall.
By the look of it, the hall was supposed to be steeped in history. It appeared that the Ascendancy was pulling out all the stops for him. Touching indeed.
Unfortunately, Damien was not impressed by dead men, nor what they had once achieved. What use was a dead man to the living? Memories cast shadows only when the mind accepted them as real.
What was real was the Sigma, the Commander and the others. The massive display of might that the Ascendancy had shown the world. That might he could respect.
As he approached, Damien smiled up at Nikolai Brandon, magician, and conqueror of half of the world.
He seemed shorter in person.
But then, how could a man live up to such tall tales?
With a smooth smile, his eyes twinkling with the thrill of the challenge, Damien bowed his head. "Ascendancy."
"My name is Damien Oakland, I have been appointed as ambassador of Mexico. I can give your men the relevant paperwork if needed. I am here to speak to you, one Ascendant to another, regarding the future of both our people."
