Voyage of the Star Streak

The red devil descends into a vast thronehall of black basalt, carrying Kael’s sealed message. Beyond him, a massive red devil, an enormous adult devil with a broad, heavily muscled build, black iron armor, and thick black horns sweeping back from his angular face, sits upon an obsidian throne, great bull-like horns framing his burning gaze.

The massive devil breaks the seal and reads in silence. The throne’s arms groan beneath his grip, then still as his expression settles into cold satisfaction.

Hezezul, a towering adult horned devil with a broad, muscular build, ember-red skin, and black iron scale armor, rises, towering over the throne, and raises one clawed hand. Deep horns answer through the fortress as infernal generals assemble beyond the hall with their legions.

Outside the thronehall, armored devils form ranks beneath rivers of red fire. Varkesh remains before Hezezul, awaiting any final word to carry back to Kael.

Varkesh presents the final terms beneath Hell’s red fire: Hezezul’s legions will assault Malrec’s forces, while Kael personally strikes at Malrec. The alliance is now clearly divided and coordinated.

Across the sealed message, Kael’s Shadow-Court Insight has exposed the pressure points between rival infernal powers, shaping an agreement that turns their hostility toward Malrec without surrendering Bliss’s sovereignty.

Hezezul presses one claw to the black seal. A red sigil divides into twin flames, one bearing his mark and one bearing Kael’s, binding the two-pronged attack by witnessed pact.

Outside, Infernal Generals relay the order through the fortress. Infernal Legions take their assigned positions along Malrec’s borders, prepared to strike when Kael moves against their master.
