The Wayfarer

[Caliban]

He took the trinket lying in front of his feet. He murmured its name as he glanced at it carefully.

"Alright. I will."

His words were genuine. Honoring the request of a prisoner in hopes to help another. He could've ignored the request. Could've tossed the thing away after leaving the Containment Room. In reality he did care - in his own twisted way - of everyone he ever met. Ever her, to a degree.

It wasn't long before Ego had left the Dunlin with Raven in his cargo hold to honor a deal he'd done with Kimiko. He was many things, but a conscious liar he was not.

Four hours later

Ego had returned from the Taus, but Raven hadn't. She was traded away to the person he promised her to. Soon it will be the same case with the Director, although he had mixed feelings about the situation. During those four hours he'd managed to amass a bounty of hundreds of millions of credits from who he believed was Cazadora. The coincidence was too obvious, yet the fact that the same individual knew everything about the mercenary was out of place. But that meant nothing to him at this point. What name he used to have no longer applied to the person he had become. Polar opposite, yet with only a few common aspects left.

"She will be safe now. But you, Director. We haven't solved your problem. Cazadora knew much more than I anticipated, but didn't give me the answers I- we were looking for. What's funnier? There are two Cazadora. Something is fishy, because two people wanted you."

"Test the sharpness of your sword against another. And when that is not enough, unsheathe your cunning as the hidden dagger that ends the fight."
