A New Nightmare

Exile sighed as his consciousness returned to The Raider's Horn. He spent quite a lot of time talking with Thovok, Harik and Ania away from everyone else. 'I see... They just want the chance to study gods because they believe that they can find a way for themselves to ascend as well. For that, they're willing to pay any price. No wonder they're all fanatics when it comes to gods... but I doubt it will go anywhere.'

"Exile! What happened to you!" Leggy suddenly shouted as the golden cocoon shattered. 

While Exile remained in his Avatar, the transformation of his real body had remained concealed inside its own cocoon until he returned. Exile glanced around and then let out a broad grin at the confused looks on everyone's faces.
