Lord Ignis gave no answer to Jukati’s sentiment apart from a slight nod of acknowledgement and a tilt of his head. Indeed, perhaps his name could relate to the element of fire; he never bothered to consider its diction. All the same, the wolf was well underway into its interrogation, those given a command following suit in their orders by choice or chance. Leaving the interrogation team up to their own devices, the walking mass of shadow and skull turned his sights to the other portion of their numbers. Without sound, he approached the experimenting Willow and Velo.

[color=ed1c24]“Why would a human assist in the presence of monsters? Well, I suppose you are no more human than any of us if you’re stuck down here,”[/color] Lord Ignis said. He made no motion to halt the pair in their actions. Rather, he watched in blank fascination, or as much as could be interpreted on his skull visage. [color=ed1c24]“Your life was full of ruling, was it not? These wolves must remind you of the legions you once commanded. In ruler and ruled, there really must be no difference in species,”[/color] he said knowingly. A pause then, as if considering Willowa’s presence.

[color=ed1c24]“Funny you two work so well together. All you want is to sate a thirst for the curious. That’s almost human to say, Willowa. Is that why you came to this place willingly?”[/color] Before he could continue, the loud sounds of threats and hisses marked the end of Azrael’s interrogation. Needless to say, the wolf wasn’t completely useless; although he didn’t reveal where his pack was, he did offer much about their stratagem and movement plans. This alone brought Ignis to the interrogation team’s side, waiting for Azrael to say his piece. 

There was something the fallen angel said that caught his attention and once the wolf was finished giving all that he promised, Lord Ignis raised his hand. It was a simple, almost universal gesture, as the skull-faced being motioned for the wolf to flee, flee where he came and return to the shadows that was his home. No sooner was the Abyss guard finally out of earshot did Ignis say, [color=ed1c24]“Follow him. He will lead us to his pack. Patrols are of value, but what I seek is the greater prize.”[/color] There was uncanny urgency in his tone.

Indeed, the wolf’s trail would have been easy to catch, rancid with the stink of fear and the putrid guilt of leaving his packmates behind to be collared. [color=ed1c24]“We will need a place to call our base of operations and what fitting locale than the prison that once housed us. Yes, these walls will become ours to take, and these creatures who remain will become our legion. Split amongst yourselves; one group will conquer the wolf pack guards. The rest will begin the foundations of taking this prison over. The latter may use our newfound mutts to better navigate.”[/color]
