"Whether the Old Banner is Damar or not, there is a division inside Black Banner."
"At least one," Sonya said. "The eastern faction wants to steal the road and abandon the others."
"They might not be abandoning all of them," Simon said. "The letter only says the Old Banner and Sleeping Commander must receive false coordinates."

"You truly enjoy correcting every little thing."
"An incorrect assumption involving a Prime Demon Lord can kill us," Simon said calmly, causing Sonya's lips to twitch.
She clearly wanted to reply, but she remembered what happened the last time Simon mentioned her carelessness and chose to remain silent.
Akaza's gaze returned to the letter.
"If this eastern faction and Eastern Hand succeeds with their plans and betrayal, they gain their own road to Earth. If they fail, Damar's faction might kill them before Velmora does."
