Chapter 181 - Rogue Tradition

A thick hush descended upon the space. Ella felt the weight of Riven's remarks envelop her like a dense mist. Given that the threat they were facing was unlike anything they had ever experienced, was it really appropriate to ask them to take a chance on it all again? Sensing a change in the atmosphere, Masque moved forward. “What Riven says is true" he admitted. “But let's not lose sight of our traditions, and it says that the rogues do not forget their own” “But when did the camps turn rogue?” Riven asked “The camp housed us when we had nowhere else to go. When others refused to protect us, they did. They fed and clothed us, gave us survival skills, and taught us to fight” “And even though they knew we had once been their foes, they did it without showing any bias, which rogue did that for us? We can't give up on them just yet, not when they are in need” As Masque spoke, Riven's demeanor shifted. He relaxed his shoulders and his expression softened to one of understanding.
