“	Sickly burnt ash floats through the air. Through the haze, a general can be seen gathering troops and readying to fight. Onyx may have been defeated, but there is no rest in sight. The boy is now a man, and the man has dreams of fire and blood. General Mutoto breaks free of his chains to gather the Eastern Horde around him, and they are aflame with vengeance and fury.	”
