The Brutal and the Swordsman (Part 1)

To the senate, the arrival of the Swordsman was both a welcome and unwelcome surprise. While his power and fame could easily match that of the Mindhive, the fact that he brandished a sword which bled its owner's blood and wielded a power that was beyond anyone's comprehension, made the Swordsman one of the most mysterious figures in the universe.

Unfortunately, they needed him more than they would be willing to admit.

While the senators had no doubt that the grand judges would be able to obliterate the Brutal, due to the unpredictability of the gifts of Iewah's children, the only way to ensure their death, was by having them face one of their own, and since their original plan to send the Mindhive against the Brutal had failed, they were left with no other choice.
