Victor
The man was walking down the street. Although the crowd of passers by was particularly dense, it seemed like they were avoiding him like a plague. It seems like most people didn‘t like inquisitors. That didn‘t bother him.
Soon he had reached the Ministry. Familiar faces were passing by him as he was walking to his office. The fifth one on the right, twenty-first floor. There was a rather big device on one of the walls. He turned it on. Static noise. He started tweaking the settings. There was an important to be had.
„Do you hear me? Do you hear me?“ he heard a voice. A familiar voice.
„Yes, I do. Nice to hear you, Gleb.“ said the inquisitor „What‘s going on in the Empire?“
„Nothing good.“ replied Gleb „The Crimson Horde is close to uniting the south. For some time I even used to have men in the court of Ta’a’tar. He‘s looking for allies, Victor. Princes from Iyuzha, other warlords from the Empire and more. I‘ve even heard that delegates from the Kingdom of Eresia had visited him. If he sends his armies east, we are screwed.“
„Thank you. I have news for you, too. Yesterday the parliament reached the conclusion that actions must be taken against the Horde. Thanks to your reports. Don‘t get your hopes up, though. Nothing decisive. Do you plan to return soon, brother?“ said Victor.
„I might need to.“ answered Gleb „Trevor was caught. Eventually they will find out that I‘m spying on them. Goodbye.“
„Goodbye, brother.“ the inquisitor turned off the device.
What should he do? Lord Inquisitor Victor Skalaris did not like being powerless. He sighed and started working. He started by checking the recent candidates for government officials. A personal assistant would be useful.
