Late Night With the Legate by Arlen Lestat (Patreon)

Horus Wild is not only a veteran of the Order, but one of the most prominent wizards within its ranks. A member of Echelon and the kin most believed should be appointed the Prelate of the Order, he is as well liked as he is intelligent.

Despite grumblings of infighting and clique forming, many vowing to follow Horus' lead over their new Prelate, Horus has put his full support behind Avelian Mercurius. Though he did not agree with her appointment, he nevertheless recognizes her skill and abilities; but that doesn't mean he's going to sit idle when he doesn't agree.

Often Horus has made a habit of going around his new leader to secure items or funds those who form in the faction around him have desired. Curios their Prelate for whatever reason has failed to precure for them. To that end he often keeps up relationships and alliances behind the scenes in order to operate without much oversight.

One of these relationships he's enjoying cultivating is with the young, sexy, new Legate the Courtian Crown has provided the Order. Cute, feminine, and entirely susceptible to flattery; Horus believes a fruitful relationship can be brokered between the two. Afterall, a friendship with crown's legate can go a long way in the future. If that way happens to be Horus' all the better.
