In the middle of the plaza of that ruined, poorly organized city, Ebony heard the elderly soldier named Marcus, her partner in this fight, say,
"We have come to challenge you to a duel… Brother."
In front of them, the Blizzard Ape rose from his bone throne and, as he walked, made the ground tremble with his four-meter frame.
His fur was white and his shape was like that of a gorilla, except that two enormous fangs protruded from beneath his lower lip, and his chubby reddish nose and face stood out sharply against his pale body.
"Brother?! What do you mean brother?! You're one of them?!" Ebony shouted in shock, stepping back.
"I'm sorry, little girl… But now you're either with me or against them, choose quickly," the old man whispered to her as he removed his armor and clothes, leaving his torso bare.
"Why should I accept another duel if I already beat you once… And why are you bringing a human brat with you?" the Frost Ape asked, scratching his chin.
