‘Why did you kill them?’ Var Jahan moved so his back wasn’t facing the Atramentar. ‘Why did you want us dead? Fratricide, Sevatar... Has it really come to this?’
‘It came to this the moment you three fools decided it was best to kill the Legion simply to purge some fictitious stain on our imaginary honour.’
‘You killed them because they disagreed with you. Sevatar, you are insane.’
The First Captain gave a subtle shrug. ‘So I am often told.'

Malithos looked at his brothers in raw disbelief for a moment, before tilting his head at the First Captain. ‘Are you mad, Sevatar?’
‘I don’t think so. I feel fine.’
‘How would you stop us?’ asked Var Jahan.
‘I’d kill you, of course. What kind of question is that? But let’s hope we don't reach that point. Emotions are running high, and my spear is all the way over there.’
:rolleyes:
