The shadow spinner finally turns her head, yellow eyes staring into his icy gaze. For a long moment, they stare at each other, even as the squirrel is launched into the air, even as he hears the audible snap of its body against the thick bark of a walnut tree. He holds her haunting golden stare with his own, the showdown just beginning.
Why should I respect you... She states, and his expression does not falter. "What purpose would you serve without me?" He asks her, blinking slowly twice. She is young, so she does not yet realize how very important this question is. The evil of Beqanna needed a purpose, some way to grow. Without it, what were they but lone hunters and tamed psychopaths?
Without a kingdom, without a purpose...they were nothing.
