"Topple the Scales", that this poor nation would be so fortunate.
A sneer curled the edge of V'aleera's lips as she held the paper in her hand, eyes narrowing at the bare and obvious draconic imagery. She had never liked heretics; the depths of their trickery were matched only by the wells of their insanity and cowardice. In some ways, she regretted the fact that her purpose in the homeland did not give her the pleasure of ending more of their lives. But in other ways, she was grateful that her duties had her face off against the far more ferocious and forthright enemies of the Fury; the dragons themselves.
A pained cough resounded from the ground below, and the noisy jingling of chain-mail alerted her to the Blade struggling to rise to his feet. A growl emanated from the Ishgardian's throat and she delivered a swift blow to the man's head with her boot, sending him back into an unconscious state like his partner who lie still several fulms away. As much as she despised the wretches called Brass Blades who pretended at being keepers of law, she had come to realize that sending them to their makers only complicated her stay in the city further. Since her last close encounter, she had elected to begin exercising some restraint.
Turning her attention back toward the parchment, she quietly reflected on her recent encounter with her fellow knight. Halgren was a Fortemps man, and their judgement was to always be taken with a large grain of salt: naive mavericks, the lot of them. Nonetheless, his proposed plan was not a terrible one. It offered many possible victories, with few drawbacks.
Crumpling the paper up in her hands, she tossed it aside into the gutters of the street like the garbage it was, setting on her way back to the hostel where she kept residence.
With luck the scales will topple in this wretched city; but not by your hands. I will find you where you lurk and slither. You will suffer. You will die. And the Dragonsong will fall silent in Thanalan once more.
Praise be Halone: the Fury's will be done.
