He turned to Cornelius as he commented, "Isn't it said one is only so great as the enemies he has defeated?"
Lord Kiva turned his head slightly, peering at Antonio in silence for a moment. Should he really tell the man just how short of glory he was going to be falling? Or that he was sending Morelli on this mission in hopes that he would die? But then the thought crossed his mind: what if Antonio really was the traitor? It wouldn't do to let him know that he was planning to put an end to the treachery like this. Antonio would abandon him and be able to run free; even if his raiding party were commanded to kill him if he fled, he might still escape.
"Are you saying that you wish to seek out Ecthelion Reinhart yourself?" Lord Kiva finally asked, a cringe audible on his voice. He may not be telling Antonio just how little he trusted him, but it was still clear that his faith in him was low, at best. "I would not be so eager to rush unto your own death, were I you. Even I would be hard pressed to defeat him." The Death Knight paused, reaching up to stroke the chin of his faceplate for a moment. "Alas, you are living. The better part of his magical arsenal will have no effect on you, unless the taint of your soul has been multiplied so much by Reaperfang that you are like a demon in the weak, fragile body of a man."
It was an interesting thought. "But you go not for glory. Glory does not get the job done. You go now, Morelli, to strike fear into their hearts, and inspire loathing and hatred. You are to earn the ire of mankind in my name, and draw Reinhart into our arms. Do you understand, Blackguard? I should imagine one who has thrown his soul away, as you have, would be more delighted than any one of my men to add to his list of sins."
