*Back at HQ, Nova is in his private quarters, typing in a combination on a safe built into the cave wall* "I've never seen such a strange war before... I wonder what craziness is going on out there right now."
*The safe opens* "For years, this has been locked away in here... I haven't even laid eyes upon it since the last major conflict with foxes over a decade ago."
*Picks up the contents- a long, broad blade the color of pure gold, with a flawless ruby set into the crossguard. Along the length of the blade are inscribed the words, "Sum Nuntius Novae Aurorae, omnia lucem videant!"*
"I swore never to use this again unless there was no other choice. If there's any hope of ending this conflict quickly, it's this." *Nova takes the blade in hand, slings it in its sheath over his shoulder, and begins the march back to the forest."
