Later that evening Shiva met Thomas Shelby again.
This time there was no hostility.
Thomas bowed slightly.
"I came here for power," he admitted.
"But your god showed me something greater."
Shiva watched him carefully.
"What did you see?"
Thomas answered slowly:
"That true power protects life."
From that day onward, the Shelby gang no longer fought the forest.
Instead they became its allies.
Guided by Shiva and the spirit of Panjurli.
The warriors of the city and the guardians of the forest had become one.
