Chapter 5

Years have gone by since the last time the teenager, who is now a man, has
had contact with the devout of the castle. Fearing the worst for the
handsome man a number of their devout make their way to Hamsah to look for
him. While walking the street they come upon the man who must be the boy
they sent so long ago. The man sees the devout and smirks at them. They
notice his smirk and approach him with caution. The man tells him he has
left their way and does not wish to be among them. The devout become
agitated and try to grab him. The man moves with incredible speed and shifts
his form completely into that of a lynx. The devout are shocked and in that
moment the lynx strikes at them. With biting and furious swipes the lynx
quickly dispatches the other men, feeding on their corpses. When the last of the
devout is within inches of his eternal death, the lynx transforms back into
the shape of the man. He tells the remaining devout that if he wishes to
exist he will leave and say that the guards were onto the teen and that he
was killed long ago. That they were set upon by the guards and he was the
only one who could make it out. The last of the devout hobbles out of
Hamsah, hoping to never meet the man again.

Upon his arrival back the castle the leaders ask the last of the devout that
was sent what happened. He relays to them the story that was given to him
and they are clearly taken aback. They decide that perhaps now is the time
to wait and only let their recruiter work in Arkham until the time when
memories begin to fade again. It is with these things that the castle again
becomes less active and their efforts become localized again.
