At another part of the world...

A pale hand was closed around a glass goblet, containing a crimson liquid; the person seated in a tall, black leather chair. A dark shadow appeared behind the being.
"Sir, the situation from a few years ago has now become active. If I were you, I would deal with the problem quickly, before others hear of it.." spoke the shadowed creature, bowing.
*pause* "Thank you for informing me. Tell me if the situation changes in the slightest," the person in the chair spoke, swirling the liquid in its goblet.
"Yessir." The shadow faded away, and once again the being was alone in the room. It gave a dry sigh, and said "So long ago... I wonder how she is doing, without me or..." it trailed off sadly, and somewhat cautiously. "musn't speak, spies all about," it muttered darkly, shattering the goblet clutched in its grasp. The liquid dripped down to the floor slowly, staining the darkness.
