<< You are being too humble. A Vampire of Drake's caliber would still overpower you: his senses, reaction time , regeneration, transformation" she says, pacing. >>
“I just knew what to do, and I did it,” Tom replied: “I skewered him on his own pike: then I took his head. He couldn’t recover from any of that: I didn’t give him time. I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but no: I am not the ruthless Superman you have imagined.”
<< I appreciate you hearing me out but this is not solely about revenge this is about oppression and how they keep power out of the hands of women not just Priestess… >>
Tom listened with full attention and concern. “I have hopes that Merlin will see if this group of Archons are like you describe, and if so then we will talk further. I understand your pain, but I learned a long time ago that striking out when you don’t truly know the situation is almost always a recipe for regret.”
<< ... As for the coming darkness I don't know much other than it being vampiric, possibly older than me. But at times good does not always conquer dark; sometimes you need to look into the darkness that resides in your very soul, and that goes for both of you. >>
This did concern Tom. “Please, if you would, keep us informed. I do understand that one cannot always be merciful with evil. Too much mercy, and you simply grant that they live to harm another day. To that degree, I understand and even agree with you. But I simply do not feel that I must paint myself as black as they have, and with their brush.”
<< ...I must warn I am no saint if my methods by chance make us enemies one day then I pray it never comes to that… >>
“I hope so, too,” replied Tom: “Few things make evil more strong than two who should be on the same side fighting each other.”
<< ...in the meantime I hope we can return to your establishment the last castle I do enjoy being there" she says smiling… >>
“Please consider yourself welcome, as long as you respect that this is not the place for you to bring a vendetta. It was created as an oasis of peace, and as ludicrous as it sounds, I will fight to keep it that way.”
<< “Welcome to 2021,” Mai said with a smug grin. “A powerful woman doesn’t have to be front and center to run the show. The oldest trick in the book is making men think they are.” >>
Tom chuckled. “Is that what you’re doing with me? Playing to make me feel in charge?” he teased.
<< “It was nice chatting with you,” Mai said, sounding polite. It seemed like they were done talking.
“After you, tiger,” she said to Tom. >>
Tom bowed to Moira as they left. “We shall expect to see you again soon,” he said, then stepped to the exit.
And suddenly they were back on the street in front of the Last Castle...
