Draiss nodded politely, a slight smile on his face. "Yes, that might be me, though I am not sure when I was last in a place where you had sway. Since both of us seem to be fighters, I will dispense with the pleasantries and nonsense that the so-called civilized gods, the soft and unblooded ones, seem to prefer so much. You have issue with me, I with you. We can either fight it out, and destroy quite a lot, with no clear prediction as to whose side will still be standing, or we can declare our current problems equal and therefore void, and quietly build up in preparation for the next time we cross paths, when the other side might not be as lucky as to have that excuse."
