Date: Unspecified Time: Unspecified Location: Myriad Realms, Yellow Plains, Freedom Fighter's headquarters. "The Emissary of Light didn't need a reason," Sansa scoffed, shaking her head to answer Wyatt, "Gideon Grim was an idiot to think he could walk out of the Empire alive—let alone convince the Emissary to ally with him. As a devil worshipper, he was already as good as dead the moment he set foot there."

Her lips curled into a smirk, her tone laced with amusement despite the deep shit she was in before continuing, "The only reason the Emissary didn't kill him on sight and actually let him spread his 'Devil's Temptation' was because of his love for theatrics. He used Gideon as a prop—a spectacle to entertain his fanatic masses and strengthen their faith in him. But I guarantee you, he must be pissed that he couldn't finish Gideon and he escaped from right under his nose. Knowing him, he's just waiting for Gideon to return to the Card World so he can finish what he started. That man knows how to hold a grudge."

Wyatt let out a low hum, nodding. "Ah, demons," he muttered, recalling the Empire's deep-seated hatred for anything sentient that wasn't human. And even among humans, they only truly got along with a select few—the ones who fully embraced their doctrine or were open to it.
