He shrugged. "No idea if it was him, just that he was a damn good fighter, and even introduced himself and apologized for having to fight me before asking me to take my stance. I rather liked him, so I sent him back after the fight, and said the weapon was a hostage on not getting attacked. If he was, then he was the most stupidly honorable and powerful assassin I have ever met. Not that I have met many mind you. And I don't know, it could be a blood line, or just a title that gets handed around to the absolute best. Like I said, at least legendary. Which is more than epic."<br/><br/>He was in the process of carefully putting the weapon back up, when the Emperor's words finally registered, and he looked back up, fire raging in his eyes. "ANY child is a boon, regardless of its power or its gender. Tell me Tysinni is not just as important as your first born son, daughter or your last born son. I have a number of blood daughters, and more adopted hatchlings that were either abandoned by their parents, a sadly common occurrence for chromatics, or were rescued before they could become pawns of an opposing deity. And when you consider my children have a CHANCE of their children manifesting divine powers, very weak, only a couple at most, and a very low chance, but it is there, and should be more than enough. And it will stay in the bloodline until I am destroyed."
