How did I wake up and find myself Batman's enemy?
That was exactly how the Cyric Avatar felt right now. He was still a little dazed.
Tenghakh's loyalty was beyond question. Otherwise, he could never have become the Dark Sun's chief representative in Amn.
"Stop! Stop, Tenghakh, you idiot, what are you doing?! Stop right now!!!" the Cyric Avatar roared like a beast. "I... you, I, stop! Get up! You're my cleric, you shouldn't... what did you do to him? Impossible! I'm a greater deity, a greater deity!"
In his utter fury, Cyric had become incoherent. His words contradicted one another, and six translucent, icy bone spikes formed before his avatar. He intended to kill the cleric who had humiliated him before everyone in the Realms!
