"Good, I wi-" Ishtar went on to say, only to be thoroughly disturbed and forced into silence when her connection to Teshub, and Marduk ended.

Unparalleled in its barbarism, it was perhaps one of the worst -- and easily one of the most pernicious -- Demonic Entities in the known Universe, and potentially further beyond. Only three existed, and of those two were kept so well confined so as to be non-existent for fear they might escape .. and the third ? None other than Baric perhaps the most brutal of the trio. Presumed dead, executed by the Arcosian Empire after a hellish war against it. Yet here he stood ... In league with Marduk.
That beast alone would perhaps, be too much for the three of them; and the look in her eyes when the others caught her gaze said as much.
The course was set however, and so Ishtar started off toward Marduk, Teshub, and Baric the Brute.
"Time to go."
