One and the Same
It would be one of those days, days that might find more significance than other days would. The death of one of their agents wasn’t a surprise and yet one could sense that there was this sense of loss. The man had served them for a long time and had done it with vigour, skill and determination. He was one of the very selected few that could speak of Nest trust. He had ensured that their main enemies hadn’t been able to get influence in several large cities. He had been scarred for their war more than once.
“It is for the best.” One of the Priest Kings said “His face, his way of working, his skill was known. I guess it would only be a matter of time if they would have found him. This way we can start anew.”
The tentacles of its head still seemed to be showing regret and perhaps even grief because they lost a worker for their cause.
When the disk had crashed in Ar, he himself had known that it was there for one reason. Perhaps to warn for what might come to his beloved Ar. None would have ever guessed his true loyalty. He hadn’t ever spoken of it nor shared the information he had known when it came to the other agent of the Priest Kings. He could have escaped that prison, but had not. He had seen the signs and with it would rather die by a blade then the vicious claws or fangs of his sworn enemies.
“The clone is ready and can take Crows place.” The Priest King continued to reason with the others “He has the same genetic origin and with it I am sure he can continue the cause Crow held. “
The Priest Kings knowledge to genetic, cloning and such was far more than one might guess. However they weren’t the kind that would offer such knowledge with Goreans. They were to unreliable when it came to it and only on Gor, because they allowed it so.
When the young man stood before them they weren’t surprised when he looked exactly as Melchior had done at that age. The clone was made from the genes when Melchior himself had the same age. However there was one major difference. Melchior had been recruited actively while this young man was born and raised here. In a way it could be considered an advantage just as much as a disadvantage. Only time would tell what would come from it.
“He will go to Ar and find those that were related to Crow, perhaps to learn what happened to one of our own that never returned to us.” The Priest King said to the others. “Same task and same skill, however none will know that he is one and the same. “
