“Take heed that thou not take the Trickster lightly for his incomplete ascension,” the queen cautioned with a raised finger. “He is as troublesome to kill as a true Great One, and not just for the danger he represents. He yet possesses the gods' immortality; if slaying him was a simple task, my family would have done so after his treachery destroyed our kingdom. Even so we share thy conviction: the Gilded Trickster must fall either back into dormancy or into oblivion, and that before he awakens his master. I know not why he has not called upon Cael already, given how rampant the spread of the Old Blood has become under the Healing Church... but I know that he must be stopped before he has the chance.”
Finally she slumped back into her throne, her preciously scant stamina spent. “As an aside, thou'st not to concern thyself with the Lord of Ascension. Our understanding is that Cael dost not share its herald's vile temperament; it is neither malevolent nor benevolent, it simply is, not unlike a hurricane or an earthquake. There are many Great Ones like it, and though thy Moonborn may harbor ambitions to do so, slaying them all is a fool's errand. The Gilded Trickster is our foe; vanquish him, and his master will remain in its sleep eternal.”
