Chapter 28

Illusions

Be as water in nature, benefiting all things without taking or competing with them.

— A Quassian aphorism.

At times, people could be sources of immense annoyance. I was relishing my drink almost as much as the delicious moment of spite when Sevas burst back into the inn. Kaila followed him moments later, her face a mix of exasperation and anger. Was there no respite in this world for me?

A wild-eyed Sevas fixed his gaze on me. “You will pay for harming my man Basilio! I demand satisfaction!” he clamored, drawing a knife from his waist and waving it at me.

Round two it was, then.

From behind the bar, Laman grumbled, “If you lot continue this way, I’ll have to call the guard.” He appeared on the verge of spitting on the floor but, recalling his surroundings, halted midway, swallowed, and adjusted the front of his clothing instead.

I took a moment to evaluate Sevas, weighing my options. There was a new, violent fire in his eyes, and his voice was now devoid of its slurred dance. His face held a sneer, the kind belonging to someone who had found a lesser to unleash their frustrations upon. This air of superiority, however, was slightly marred as he daintily swiped at a faint green smear at the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. Remarkably, the man appeared to have shaken off the influence of his earlier drinking.

Even as my eyes took him in, my magic gave me a clearer gauge of the threat before me. Identify, as always, was a wonderful utility spell.

Sevas Soranzo - Spellsword (Human Lv. 16)

Health: 223/232

Stamina: 27/42

Mana: 8/9

Sevas, for the most part, had comparable parameters to Basilio. However, it was his class—or calling, as this world called it—that set him slightly apart from the rest. It almost brought a smile to my face with its novelty.

I looked around the room as the guests who had yet to make their escape made themselves smaller, hunching in on themselves, assiduously looking away from me. There would be no help from that quarter—not that I had been expecting any.

“What is going on here, Laman? I pay you and your guild a small fortune to keep the peace…” came the voice of the owner of the inn.

“Aye, Mistress Naira, but these lot be with the Adventurers’ Guild. Silver-ranked too, an’ the Mirage of the Sand’s party no less. They looked to me like they were set on leaving all peaceful like, too,” explained the veteran and former soldier. He sounded to me like a schoolchild caught doing something bad. With a resigned air, he drew the mean mace at his waist, more for show than anything else. Naira, it seemed, had very good reason to be annoyed.

“Apologies, but Sevas here was a bit drunk and started something with one of your guests, Gilmamess,” offered Kaila with a thin-lipped smile, pointing at Sevas in explanation.

Sevas began waving his knife about as he launched a series of sudden stabs at the… air. It was most odd.
