Chapter 20

Impressive Introductions

Wow, he’s cool. That’s gotta be the Questor.

The man stepped out of the door and held out his hand for a handshake. “I’m Brox Thastus, and I hear you’re the one who gifted this city with salvation.”

Nathan jumped to his feet and shook Brox’s hand firmly, meeting the man’s amethyst eyes and returning the smile as best he could. “Nice to meet you. You’re here to help?”

I hope so. He could probably take on the army of Giantsrest single handedly. He’s real hot, too.

Brox let out a resonant chuckle, releasing the handshake and waving for Nathan to follow him. “Clear as silver ice, eh? Indeed, I’m here to end Badud and his little coven of mind-mages.”

Nathan felt a burden release from his shoulders at the words. Brox would take care of Giantsrest—he didn’t have to worry.

The Questor gave the two elites a sweeping gesture as he led Nathan out the door. “Take your rest, faithful guards. It is my desire to speak with the Mage-Breaker alone. He shall be safer than a Vault of Solace.”

The two freed elites clasped their hands together in a Giantsrest-style salute before trotting off towards the kitchens.

Brox kept walking, taking a passage that led to a staircase. “Divine inspiration on you for what you’ve done with those elites. They were a blasphemy of a true martial adept – but now? Now they burn with a vengeful spirit, tempered by the discipline hammered into them by harsh masters.”

Nathan nodded from where he was walking behind Brox, then realized the man couldn’t see him and almost slapped himself. He needed to be impressive, needed to demonstrate that he was worth the Questor’s attention. “Yeah, turning their own slaves against them seemed like the way to win. I did it for the whole city.”

“Smart. See you at the top. Don’t make me wait.” Brox turned to climb the staircase. He winked at Nathan and vanished with a burst of displaced air.

Nathan stared at the space the Questor had occupied. He hadn’t felt any magic – but the challenge was clear. He wasn’t about to disappoint Brox, so Nathan leapt for the staircase, spending Stamina and using every mobility skill he had to accelerate his upwards path.

Maybe this is a good time to Develop [Slow Fall], to keep up! Then I can show Brox I can fly too. That’s an impressive trick.

Nathan’s brows furrowed at the thought. He’d wanted to talk to Kia about that – or take it in the next big fight. But impressing Brox was important. He started pushing off the walls, spending Focus to help him place his feet properly as he ricocheted up the staircase.

He reached back with [Enhanced Memory], recalling the Insight Kia had given him so long ago to Develop [Slow Fall] into [Airwalking]. She’d taken him into the ruins of Old Gemore to show him traces of their culture, their art – and how they’d fallen to the Endings regardless.

Let’s see, she said I need to use my class resource.
