SLAUGHTER AT GUARDIAN PEAK VILLAGE
"Maruding armies slaughtered the remote mountain village. No survivors were found alive. The trace magical energies found in the village suggest that a True Rune was used in some manner. Authorities are looking for Luca Blight, head of the White Wolves for questioning at this time. More news as it's discovered.."

Luca flowed with the power of the souls trapped in the Beast Rune. Aah, an entire village dead, feeding the true.. it was truly a glorious day. Maybe this pig Arc would squeal some and put up a fight now that his worthless family was wiped out. Even better, the fool told Luca he was free to use whatever rune he wanted in this battle. So he wants to fight the Golden Wolves and the living incarnation of the Beast Rune along with the Mad King? Hahahahaha, how sad. The little pig was going to die a hero and a fool. How delightful.

One plot item each? Perfectly fair, ruled the judges. Luca brought the full fury of the barely contained Beast Rune, and all the energies stored within. Arc? Arc brought a simple stone. It wouldn't stand out anywhere. A plain rock.
The romancing stone.
Luca Blight never had a chance.
