Chapter 11: Masters of the Draq'enar

If there was one person to whom Radu owed his undisputed place within the ranks of Raji’Rav, it was Master Zakane. The sword master was closer to the Raven Blades than any other Raji’Draq. Even though he himself was indebted to the Blood Foxes, he still acted as the mission leader of the Assassins. An assignment that was not authorized by him was not carried out by the Raji’Rav and his recommendation was a guarantee of safe admission to the clan for every aspirant. For this reason, he was also called the Black Fox, which was certainly not only due to his dark skin. Many an upstart he had personally trained already. However, when it came to Radu, he had a lot of trouble. The boy was older than most of his grade and extremely stubborn. Just like his exiled father, whom Zakane knew all too well.
