Sebastian crouched down to speak with the dark-kin.  “What happened here?”“They are coming,” the dark-kin whispered.  “They are coming for me.  I’m as good as dead!  The bronze demons will find me…” “Bronze demons,” said Kham. “Like in our dreams.”Sebastian straightened up.  “Bijoux described similar beings that overran her home world.”“What would they want with Precision?” asked Beldin.“It’s in the Unspeakable One’s best interests to start a war between Milandir and Coryan,” said Kham.  “Just like how he tried to use Fleshripper against me.  Speaking of which…” he nodded at Beldin’s new waraxe.  “Be careful with that thing.  Power like that comes with a price.”Beldin snorted.  “Don’t worry about me.  I can handle Windcutter.”Sebastian peered sideways at Beldin.  “Since when does your axe have a name?”“I don’t know.” Beldin took a few experimental swings with it. ”But that’s its name: Windcutter.”  “Like I said,” muttered Kham. “Be careful.”</blockquote>
