It was not long after the demon’s entrance that another shaded lupine appeared. Lucian found his crimson hues directed away from the Queen in order to meet the silhouette of the arrival. The brute carried an opposite form of Lucian, who was tall yet carried a heavy build to himself. He shifted oddly on his stilts as he approached the already gathered pair. But who was to blame him?

In fact, he was relieved that Milo was able to greet the boy and introduce herself so effortlessly amidst their awkward silence. “For now, it might just be us but whoever so wishes to join shall be allowed as long as they follow what rules, which include you two. But for now... I am Milo.”
