(So Ilvir is now Azaziel.traipsing about in underground tunnels with a giant rubber bat named Exalt and a big cat/panther critter called Kitty
Marry and Issac have encountered Prince Wuthor
only son of the Sky King.Wuthor thus is the
heir to the
Cirrus Dynasty,that glorius 600 year dynasty of Sky Kings going back to the
Cloud Giants and the
mythology of the Cloud Point Citadel.
So even if Wuthor and Issac want to roll about in the dust it seems
reasonable the Sky King has placed his only
son in a army position where the future
Sky King Wuthor
doesn't get himself killed in some blood splattered battlefield.The Old Man pulled Wuthor away from that
military role half a year ago
and made his only son Captain/Centurion Leader
of the Bavarian Winged Wyvern
that specialist military battalion that deals with
hunting down and either
capturing
killing
making go away
political prisoners and people of interest
Alas for Issac he's not even on the Bavarian Winged Wyverns list
yet so as far as the grunts are concerned they can dispose of Issac,bury his carcass and nobody will know the difference.
They're here for Marry
who certainly is
a person-of-interest to the Captain Wuthor
who has been sending out his specialists
snipers
operatives
guards
to look after Marry until Wuthor and her can have
a proper meeting again.
By some quirk of fate
Nathon
long gone AWOL
ended up saving the wife of the Sky King and a grateful Sky King has
placed Nathon in the
Bavarian Winged Wyvern.
Nathan I'll style after the fellow in the
Temeraire series of novels by Naomi Novik.
A fellow who works for the British Foreign Office as a spy
So Nathan has spent the last while working on the inside
and actually is disguised,so Issac and Marry don't recognize him as one of
Prince Wuthor's trusted officers.
And since the Bavarian Winged Wyvern is a specialist army division
they have the nifty deadly
gunpowder and ice
Cloud Hammers
and triple barrelled Sky Bolts
( OKA material mist scatterers) to put Issac
down permanently)
