Dystra quickly performed the coup de gras on any still moving, then worked with Jhaan to collect the cooked meat from the larger beasts that Thorn finished off with lightning. "Ugh!" Lyra looked back at Alex's large eyes watching the two collecting their dinner. "We're not going to eat that, are we?" Alex gasped. Dystra grinned at Alex's discomfort. "It's a delicacy! Especially when cooked this way!" Jhaan just grinned back at Alex and continued to cut loose the lightning-steamed claws until they had a large pile of them collected in a tarp. Dystra tied it closed and walked over the strap it to Alex's side amongst the bags. "That's not too heavy, is it?" the assassin asked with a crooked smile. "Gee, I hope it doesn't accidentally fall off and get left behind," Alex griped, drawing a chuckle from Dystra. Lyra shared a smile with Dale, who rolled his eyes and glanced at the map. "We shouldn't be far from the next rest area, which is just before the ramps down to the s

The flash of colors and textures told him he wasn't alone in his mind. There was a presence, but it was silent. Sulking? No, contrite. Agron. He gently presented an image of the dark Therrax as a question. Alex picked up the slightest impression of Agron's offer being an apology of sorts. He picked up the impression of the recent Therrax being ancient, so perhaps a prehistoric variant. He sent the God a warm embrace of gratitude. A reciprocal sensation of acceptance flowed back, and he began to slip into a deeper slumber after a brief touch from Ullentra. More healing? For what? Chapter 16 Lyra walked in formation amongst her new party, her eyes scanning the barren fields for threats. To her right was Shi'Jax, the Beast-Kin healer. They'd had time to share stories, and she found the female intelligent, easy-going, and witty. She also used her humor to hide her fear. This was her first mission and the first time she'd been in one of the subterranean cities. It hadn't

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

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
