All this and more, when I march upon the Royal Palace and the last King, the King of Armello, falls to our cause.”Īnd by her side, just out of Slantfang’s view, an old crone with glinting eyes watched on." “Soon,” she said, “our bandit brothers and sisters will find a place within this Kingdom, free from the need to pillage and plunder. The time for merciless old dogs had come to an end. She informed him that the tent was now hers, that the animals of his pack had already pledged their allegiance and he would be lead him to the borders of the Ashen Forest, never to be seen again. A voice soft, yet strong and devastatingly familiar, recounted her journey to unite the six tribes before his. ![]() It was that night, in his very own tent no less, that Slantfang felt the distinct sensation of a blade pressed against his back. Who was this new Bandit King and what powers of trickery and malice did he possess in order to accomplish what no king of bandits had before him? He fortified his camp and bolstered defenses as news of this new king marched upon him. Slantfang became uneasy and erratic as the legends quickly turned to rumors and the rumors became reports.

Slantfang, rich with arrogance, knocked the crone to the ground, leaving her by the side of the road as the convoy moved on, an incredulous, raucous laughter leaving with it.
