Surviving Sons

Surviving Sons is the forty-ninth chapter of Tales of Sheol'gotha:  Shadow of the Abaddon.

Synopsis
Asus, waiting for the A'qyrai before heading to the Feral Pits, finally rouses as one of the soldiers emerges. The soldier is as aggressive as Asus is short-tempered, owing to Asus' little regard for the dead. The soldier moves on eventually and the vanguard arrives, commending Asus for giving the sergeant a hard time.

As they begin to move off they speak at length of the giants, and Asus is made fun of regarding his smaller stature. Kareshh makes the mistake of suggesting Asus does not understand the significance of their dead soldiers, prompting Asus to fly into a rage regarding the death of his own family. When Kareshh finally gets Asus to talk about it, the siegemaster explains how he and Schurr both suffered the wrath of Fall-un'tir and the paranoia of Abaddon.

Asus explains that Schurr looks forward to his revenge on Fall-un'tir, but Asus himself wishes only to see Nazrin razed. Kareshh applauds their aims, and as they arrive at the pits Asus reminds Kareshh to speak well of the prince to the soldiers in order to boost morale, suggesting they need to confer a godlike status regarding Valon if he is to challenge Abaddon.
