"The Gall, naturally, fell into Oken\\u2019s hands. That discarded thing, relic lost and living, vessel to a remnant\\u2019s power. I\\u2019m not sure whether then or later, he understood the potential of what he carried. Raised himself on power\\u2019s sap, could he truly read its dread portent? Maybe he saw it only as ember, in the carcass the jackal only sees a thing to be consumed, it does not behold the new life promised in the ground beneath."

The Jubilant continue facing off against Lilylium. Oken has just struck a decisive blow against one of the ancient envoy\\u2019s segments, but in doing so has revealed that he is the one carrying the gall.

\\n

The Jubilant are in over their heads. They\\u2019re fighting an envoy and now it knows with full certainty what its target is.
