PAST REPEATS: Lepidopterists [VDALION V. DELPHINA]

[Shelpies]

"Many would have expected a speech."
"A set of rousing words for the morale."

"A mobilization of an entire force, marching under a unified cadence."

"But ah."
"I am done with speeches."

"Now, I will simply do what I must."

An effervescent light shines from amidst the mountains, separate from the darkened banners of the Emperor. An independent force that moves upon a brilliant pair of wings, and golden strands of hair fluttering within the wind.

Blade in hand and shield in the other,
An independent force approaches, flanked by a loyal winged follower.

OBJECTIVE: Assist Vdalion
