Chapter 53
Alex moved closer to Agron. He felt like a speck next to the God, but he held one thought in his mind. Agron needed his help. He pushed the concept of his being willing to help. Then he slammed an image of Agron trying to take over because of his impatience. He still had no idea of the scope of the task, so he expressed that as a huge unknown and suggested a long-term commitment requires patience. They had to work together. Ffornexa's calm approval swept over him like a tsunami and he felt himself tumbling as he was overwhelmed by the power of it. Ullentra slipped close and eased the pressure on his mind with a flash of red. Human minds weren't meant to speak directly to Gods, even with impressions. Ullentra healed him as she slipped him free of their communing. -=- Lyra was looking into his eyes as they opened slowly. No music. No mixing of his senses. He felt relief at that and sent his thanks to Ullentra. He struggled to sit up and realized he was still naked amongst the

Alex finished the tidy-up after making everyone's breakfast burritos. He'd eaten his earlier. He looked at the stack of packs and realized the others had broken camp while he prepped the food. Thorn walked up to him with a smile on her lips. "What do you call this wrap?" "It's a breakfast burrito. Did you like it?" he responded, using the English term he still had in his brain. Thorn smiled and popped the last bite into her mouth. "So good!" Halle gushed as she caught up to Thorn. "Though it could use more spice," she added. "Yeah, some people like them with hot sauce, but I'm unfamiliar with the options available here," Alex sighed. "Next time we're in Genthale, I'll take you to a shop I know," Halle said with a grin and received a nod. The group gathered around and faced Dale and Lyra. "Yesterday was a long day! I can't recall us ever covering more ground in one push like that," Yellsbeth said. "Are we going to take a rest day?" The two mission leaders shared a glanc
Chapter 51
While it was strongly discouraged, robbing another party after they completed a mission was not as uncommon as it should have been. Facing the unknown in the underground cities was considered more dangerous than ambushing a weary band of adventurers on their return trip. Safety for adventuring parties didn't begin until they reached the city gates. Gordier seemed to approve as he smiled at Gerritt. "Now that's decisive leadership! They were fools to let you go!" This put a wide smile on Gerritt's face, as it was exactly what he'd been telling himself on his return to Genthale. Ungar's man was still nodding. "I just so happen to have a team of excellent swordsmen in my employ that would be willing to follow your orders to ensure you get your fair share for the mission they stole from you. I have some healers as well." This was welcome news, but Gerritt wasn't a fool. Nothing was given for free. He locked eyes with the man. "And what would you want in return?" "A third share of wha
Chapter 50
No time tracking devices here?" Alex asked after he realized that the Gods' Language had no word for watch that didn't mean the act of observing. "No time piece craftsmen reborn here?""If there were, they became adventurers and likely died before they made enough money to switch occupations," Dale suggested."What are these devices you're talking about?" Yellsbeth asked."On my planet, we wear... little tools on our wrists that display the current time. We call them watches," Alex explained.Yellsbeth and Thorn shared a smirk. "That's not confusing at all.""This is just an example of the translation not being fully accurate between Earth's languages and the Gods' Language," Alex sighed. "I have memories of my old life that I don't have words to describe because the level of society was more advanced there and used tools that don't exist here. I believe the people who lived in these underground cities may have also reached these advanced levels. If they were the ones who made those g
Chapter 49
Alex rushed toward the opening edge of the door and looked inside, grabbing an image of the room and its occupants. Then he leapt away from the door and spread his legs wide as the skin between them stretched open like a wingsuit. He glided to the floor, returning to the furred creature just before hitting the ground. The rotting machine pursuing him lost track of his movements and stopped. It swung back and moved toward the others. Alex rushed back to the safety of his party and switched back to his human shape as he reached the baggage. Thorn handed him a blanket to wrap around his waist. He looked at Lyra who was trembling with some emotions. He thought she looked pissed. Alex wanted to get ahead of that. "We needed to know what was inside the room. You said they ignore small creatures. Obviously not when they're climbing on the door," he explained quickly. Dystra caught his eye. "What did you see inside?" "There were only three of the things in the room, but they were
Chapter 48
These giant monsters are sometimes found in the wilderness outside the underground cities. Maybe this one was on its way outside and stopped to rest in the soil?" Ti'Nah was poking at the armored snakeskin. "The scales on this creature are a treasure on their own. They show no damage even after being exploded." "Truthfully, the explosion was mostly contained by the scales, but the meat underneath took the brunt of the damage," Dale suggested. "We can't stay here. This mess will attract every scavenger for a few levels. We also stink. We need to find a place to clean up as soon as possible," Dystra urged. "The maintenance room?" Lyra asked Dale. He gave her a worried nod, then turned to the others, who were waiting for an explanation. "Near the end of the fourth level, just before the ramp down to the fifth, there is a large room that we believe was used for maintaining the biomechanical constructs. We fought off a large group of the things the last time we were here, but the
