After the meal, Tharn left. To Gula’s excitement, he summoned a Pegasus and waved at her before flying off.
In a few minutes, he and Iris were near the town palisade, flying straight into the centre and landing in front of the Inn. There was no one to be seen on the street, but there was a candle on a pedestal to the right of the door, as Tiamat had told him. A sign that the owner was still awake and waiting for him.
He knocked on th
Astonished, Tharn asked, “Thanks for what? I didn’t do anything.”She glanced towards the entrance to see if the owner was around or if there was anyone who could overhear her, then said in a low tone, “Of course you did! Thanks to you, Istar has become an amazing Mage! After you left, she showed us the pendant you lent her, which helped her calm down without fear of being hurt if she lost control of her Magic. And the silver cord to wrap around her pretty white dress that our mother gave her.”“I see... I didn’t know she car
After nearly one hour, the expansion was finished. Walls, wooden logs on the top to hold the Drakes scales that would be put there later, and a seat for a toilet with a hole under it and a cover. The seat was inside the expansion, separated by a wall and a door from the bathtub made from rocks, big enough for three people. Or four, if they were careful not to move much.There was a small trench on the floor right under the drain of the bathtub that led to the big, deep hole outside, with a massive wooden cover with a small opening. Next to it was a big wooden bucket with a thick rope attached.Istar waited nervously for Tharn to test
Tharn was looking at the new roof, already finished with Drake’s scales, melted together and fixed to the rooftop of the expansion of the house with the two new divisions. One for the toilet and another for the bathtub.Behind him, Istar was overseeing the smoking of the meat of the Dragon, Drake, and Balloon in three different places, so that the smell and taste didn’t mingle between the different meats.At her right, Gula and Asardin were cutting small pieces of Dragon’s meat for their lunch, with Iris leisurely seated on the back porch of the house, nipping small bits of roasted meat that were on a plate next to
Tharn and Istar landed in front of her parents’ house and heard noises behind the house. Puzzled, they walked to get there only to find Gula and Asardin, each with a sword and a shield, fighting with the Force Old Elementals, Destruction and Breeze, the fire and the ice Old Elementals.Istar wondered what was happening until they all stopped and looked at her, with Asardin looking dead tired and Gula looking all sweaty but with a big smile on her face.She waved her sword at her younger sister and said, “You want to fight them, Istar? They are good! I almost cut the tail of Destruction, b
At dinner, they kept on talking about the new bathroom, with Dipti visibly excited about the opportunity of a very lucrative business. According to him, even if it was only the seat and the connections to use water to flush, it was already innovative enough and could grant them a lot of money.Tharn was eating and listening to all the conversations in silence. It came as a surprise to him that such a simple thing, so common in his homeworld, was seen in that World as an amazing invention. Everyone was used to having to crouch over a hole, do their business, wash their behind with a piece of cloth, and cover the hole without even pouring water on it. But that was mostly because potable water was scarce in that World, and that made the people less careful wit
After landing in the clearing near the City, they changed again to Tharn’s Unicorns and made them walk along the path until the main road.At the gates, the guards greeted them, surprised by the rides like everyone else was, as they entered.They left the Unicorns in front of the Guild, and upon entering, the few Adventurers there cheered them by raising their glasses, and the cheers increased when Tharn asked Kishar to give them another round of hydromel.Synesia, Osman, Muranu, and Kek were seated at a
Meanwhile, Iris was inside a cave, hidden in a small hole in a wall, looking down and grinning, listening to the conversation between the two men she followed and their bosses. The man with a scar was smiling as he said, “As you can see, things progressed on his side. It probably would be a good idea to do as he did, and work more in the ‘Babilndan Theocracy’ than in the ‘Kingdom of Heszils’, considering that the Church in the Theocracy has that stupid law against burning to ashes the dead, and-“ One of the two men that were seated at a table immediately interrupted him, with their heads covered by the hoods of their cloaks. “We will be the judge of that. Do your work, the one that we pay you to do, and that is information gathering and spying. Nothing else. The rest is up to us, Necromancers.” The scarred man immediately looked down and went silent. His partner tried to change the subject and said, “Of course, boss. And since you mentioned that, do you need us to go check things in
Tharn offered his hand for a handshake, which Omarosa grabbed with a smile. “A contract it is, then. Rusalka, you are going to work with Omarosa to make new sets of jewellery. With your skills, I think you won’t have any problems creating a few drawings that I have already made.”The smiling octopus-girl put one hand over the hands of Tharn and Omarosa and squeezed them gently. She then looked curiously at the list of tools that Tharn gave to the young Cathra girl, and next, at the drawings of necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings he had on another set of papers.While Omarosa w
