Kane heaved a deep breath as he returned to the base dimensions of reality, directing a deep gaze at Rui. "Did you know this would happen?"
Rui shook his head. "I did not. If I had, I would have told you about it."
Rui probably could have foreseen this if he had used Eye of Prophecy, but he hadn't used it because there hadn't been a reason to. Unlike the clan of his mother, he was not a full-time prophet. Prophecy was merely a tool in his arsenal of adaptive evolution.
Kane heaved a breath, shaking his head with a resigned expression. "Whatever. If this reduces the probability of me dying in battle, then it's worth it."
Even with the Twin Winds that he had commissioned from Transcendent Dwight, the battle with the arakai was very intense. The divine children were powerful enough to threaten Martial Corporeals. He knew that a few of his colleagues had already died in battle, and he didn't want to join their ranks.
