Gorias stood, in full armor sans helmet, in the meal hall of the Crown Palace. The massive room was once draped with beautiful tapestries, kept warm by 9 cobalt fireplaces, but now the room had fallen to disrepair. It was dark, except for the one lit fireplace which Gorias now stood in front of, it's blue flickering light shadowing his face. An ancient asteroid had punched a hole in the roof, allowing a view of the stars, as Gorias waited.
He knew he would come. He couldn't turn down something like this.

Rai had come on Dol, walking down the corridor towards the meal hall. What could Gorias want? He knew that the man wasn't truly an enemy, so he didn't transform, nor did he have his hand near his firearm.

Gorias heard the footsteps.
"So, I see you decided to accept my little invitation." Gorias said without turning, his voice ringing throughout the massive room.

"I have," Rai told him, "Why have you asked me here?"

"You remember this place, do you not?" Gorias asked.

"Of course I do," he told Gorias.

"We shared our first battle here." Gorias said, turning. As he did, two more fireplaces snapped to life, revealing his face. It was old, haggard, seemingly beyond his mere 48 years. |

"I'll never forget that," he told Gorias, "You are a man hard to forget."

"I thought it a fitting place to share our final meeting." Gorias said simply.

"You're the first person to know." Gorias said. "I'm dying, Gavan." He addressed the man by his title, in an effort to keep this impersonal.

"Is this your aging?" he questioned.

"No. A disease has taken me, has ravaged my body for almost a decade now. I suspect it will finally take me this day." Gorias said.

"You hid this for a decade?" he asked the other man, "We may have crossed blades, but why did you wait so long to tell me?"

"I have told none. This bond of battle we share is why I have chosen to tell you."
