"Whatever this entity turns out to be, it is too powerful to contain. Our last Prince was formidable, to say the least, and was ended by it within moments, together with other very capable fighters.
We need more information on it, before we can consider anything further, and if this new world has taught me anything, it's that information is power." He leaned forward in his chair, his face still clam and impassive.
"I believe we should use our positions, to acquire as much information as we can, and then make our decisions."
He leaned back again, waving his hand dismissively.
"Don't get me wrong, I do not aspire to meddle in these cities affairs more than I have to. Gaining status and prestige is a young ones game. All I really wish for is to continue my studies of the coils and learn as much as I can of this new continent. And I can't very well do that, with a monster eating old Vampires on the loose."
