After the return of the Beast to the City of Gold, the decision was made (after much consideration) that contact was inevitable, so ambassadors should be sent out. To that end, magic was used to create hornless, tailless infiltrators. Avatars, if you will, of the new order coming as the City of Gold prepares to bring us civilization under the enlightened rule of the Horned King.<br /><br />To whom we will build a statue, of course. Glory to our King.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=gridlore&ditemid=1981245" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
