The cries of vengeance that Calsalme uttered as he fled the castle left Tail reeling. His voice continued to echo in his mind like a lingering disturbance to his existence. Tail stood there motionless, his heart heavy and his mind confused. Defeat weighed heavily on him, and he seemed dejected. He couldn't accept the fact that he had failed to capture the traitor.
He thought of his parents, torn away and carried off by Calsalme's brutality. He realized that his suffering could not be appeased by this ambition alone.
Meanwhile, Vic watched the situation with concern. He knew that Calsalme was responsible for the tragic disappearance of Tail's parents. Vic didn't know how to broach this reality with Calsalme. He knew that this knowledge only intensified Tail's pain. He had seen rage and grief mingle in his friend's eyes.
