Cut its way in with a sword like those our knights use. Highmatter. Cut through the bulkhead like it weren’t nothing, Radiance. Lords and ladies. Only it weren’t like no sword I’d seen. It were too big. And all . . . twisted. Cut through the bulkhead like it weren’t there… Cut through the men, too. I never seen one of the Pale so big. Had to stoop in the corridor as it came at us. All black and silver it was. And when it see us standing at the end of the hall behind the prudence shield it bares its fangs at us. Smiling, like. ‘Surrender!’ it says, and Honorable Caesar I swear by Holy Mother Earth it spoke our words.
