Truth be told, Urhen felt no less stupid than how Quylla had judged her to be.
"Once I'm done with Urhen, with a bit of luck, I'll have gained enough familiarity with the process to work on you guys." Quylla continued. "Syrah, one of my dearest friends, Protector, belongs to an Emperor Beast's species called Skoll.
"He told me he felt a strong kinship with you Hati since the first time you met. I believe I can use him as the best next thing to a perfect Hati, and he has already volunteered to help you.
