So because or in spite of the matter of their christening, I must assure the Lady Inspectress that what follows is a sober and secular assessment of the seven men and women who, for better or for worse, go by the cell designation of Ravissant Wolf.
I must report that I myself, though I might wish to reduce the role of these archaic mystics in our government, could not but help but be moved by the elder Wrethu’s speech.
While other Skyseekers vowed to hold Skyseer Wrethu responsible should the Wolves ever betray their oaths to King and Country, the majority were swayed. Wrethu saw the wolf, while a symbolically dubious character, bringing the helpless lamb to succor in the only manner it could.Ī few cynics among her order believed that Wrethu was dissimulating on behalf of her longtime contact among the Flint police department, Inspector Reginald Filby, who was assigned to provide investigative expertise for the newly formed cell. Was not each trainee magically scrutinized? While they differed wildly in temperament and morals, each had passed a battery of tests designed to assess their patriotism. Her argument, in short, maintained that a deeper look at the portents showed the wolf carrying a lamb, yes, but to presume the beast’s intent to devour the lamb, or that our new recruits were fated to cause harm, betrayed a lack of conviction. Were it not for the passionate words of respected senior Skyseer Wrethu, the christening ceremony might as well have led to the cell’s immediate dissolution and the termination of our latest enlistees. The ramifications of the symbol weighs heavy on certain of the Wolves as well they are decent if flawed men and women who I cannot believe capable of causing deliberate harm to the citizens of Risur. Not a few senior agents have candidly refused to work with the Wolves, and the presence of Ifris Lanvaldan and her unnatural abilities (more on her below) does nothing to quell their concerns. Suffice to say in the case of Ravissant Wolf, the ambiguity of the astrological visions regarding their lot, infamously interpreted as a wolf with a lamb in its jaws, has complicated the training of this band of recruits. More importantly, it is the will of our King that such rites be retained in the halls of officialdom, and that the skyseers who perform them be respected. I am a loyal man of Risur, and as such, acknowledge that our national identity is inexorably linked to our land, its spirits, and its ancient magic. I have in the past expressed my displeasure concerns in respect to the involvement of the ministers of the Old Faith in the complex affairs of law enforcement and state security.
