“Don’t you find it strange that we’re going after something and don’t even know what it is?” Stix wondered. “I mean, what if it’s completely useless?”

“Then at least they won’t have it,” Knell said with a grin. “But don’t worry. We do know that there’s a Boon from Selenia in that mountain. At the very least, if we can get that, we’ll be able to make an artifact.”

“Or absorb it,” Cyll said. “You can get dozens of levels at once from eating Boons.”

“Eh. I tried it once,” Knell said, waggling his hand. “I only got a few. It was a waste.”

“What?” Cyll asked, nearly losing control of the sail he was preparing for docking. “How? Even the smallest Boon gave more than that—I remember how badly everyone wanted to get their hands on them.”

“I don’t know. I’m just telling you what happened,” Knell replied. The dock was quickly growing on them now, and there was little time left for conversation.

Cyll grabbed rope from the deck as they drifted into an open spot, throwing it over a post and then leaping onto the dock to moor them. Stix helped him, and they were docked a few seconds later.

“Nicely done,” Knell said as Cyll helped him onto the dock. “And thank you.”

“No problem. Only crashed a few ships into the docks in my life,” Cyll said proudly.

“That doesn’t seem like something to be proud of,” Stix muttered.

“Come on,” Knell said, shaking his head as he walked toward the city. Several guards sat along the docks, watching them with half-lidded eyes. Nobody seemed particularly interested in the ship, and Knell liked it that way.

They entered the town proper. Small, one-story homes had been arranged in neat rows. Most of them were built from cobbled brick, but there were a few stragglers that still had wooden walls.

A few people wandered around, mostly wearing seafaring clothes. Everyone was armed to varying degrees.

“What now? Find someone that can help out with…” Stix nodded at Knell’s bag, where the Boon was stored.

He nodded. “With some luck, there should be someone that can help, but let’s keep it to ourselves for now. I don’t want to deal with fighting off a bunch of idiots.”

They followed the street into the center of town, where a small market had been erected. Several dozen tents lined the square. Most of them looked to be selling supplies, but Knell spotted several weapon and armor shops.

The market was busy, but not oppressively so. Even better, the merchants didn’t call them over or bother the group as they wandered around. Everyone seemed content to just go about their own business.

“There,” Stix said, pointing at a stone building across from them. “There’s smoke coming out of its chimney. Probably means it’s a smithy of some sort, right?”

“Good catch,” Knell said. The building had no label, and it didn’t even have a door. There was simply an opening leading into a small room. The walls were covered with a mixture of weaponry and metal tools, and a bored man sat at a counter at the back, spinning a dagger in his hand.
