Children. Alexander had been sent in with what were, to him, practically children.
Not that he doubted their abilities, but for the Legion to expect someone so young to face some cosmic horror like this made him feel uneasy.
If he were at full strength, then at least he would be able to spend more time fighting this 'Stardust' head-on, relying less on the others. As it was, the best he could hope for is to serve as bait and try to coordinate the others. As he waited for the creature to arrive, dozens of potential plans passed through his head to try and get everyone out of there should things go wrong.
Most of them, he felt, would likely be insufficient.
So he stood, waiting amongst the bombed out crags and ruins, while the others waited in ambush nearby. He held out his hand, letting many of his Souls coalesce in his palm, taking the form of what looked like a brilliant, white-ish flame. Such a near impossible concentration of life force wouldn't go unnoticed for long.
