It took a full week and considerable effort, but Garrett eventually managed to plant and cultivate five flowers in each of the assassins, learning much in the process. Though five blooms was enough to overwrite the personality of a lighting-stage Awakened, the attitude of the individual during the time the flowers were growing appeared to determine how useful they would be after the flowers finished blooming. Vale, who had been mostly willing to cooperate with growing the Dream Seed Garrett had planted to five blooms, had retained much of his taciturn personality and could operate with a high degree of independence, allowing Garrett to assign him to guard the end of the tunnel in the swamp.

Looking at the five converted assassins, Garrett was almost at a loss as to what to do with them. They had fought the process the whole way, even putting up resistance after the third and fourth blooms when the Dream Flowers had begun to work their influence. The result was that their personalities had been almost completely erased as they were forcefully dominated by the five blooms. When given an instruction they were happy to carry it out, but the rest of the time they acted more like plants than humans, content to stand in place and do absolutely nothing.

Thankfully, they still responded to danger, moving quickly to protect Garrett and the other flowers, bringing all of their skills to bear when they did so. It was just initiative and independent thought that were lacking. This was especially true for Patolov, who had attempted to kill himself at every single chance he got. Garrett had not been about to let him off the hook and paid special attention to the leader of the Second Wing, observing the process with extra care.

Still, it was good to have five more Awakened fighters, even if they couldn’t be used for more than guard duty, and Garrett sent them all to work under Vale, guarding the tunnel to the swamp. Two stayed inside the city, making sure the entrance to the tunnel remained hidden, while the other three were posted outside, guarding the swamp entrance with Vale. Unfortunately, the conversion also wiped out a good two days of the experience gain Garrett had gotten from the Awakened dreamers’ forays into the dream.

Life had settled down, and still the Grave Walkers hadn’t made their move, despite being seen more often on the outskirts of the Family’s territory, so Garrett was considering pushing the issue forward when an unexpected visitor showed up. Wheeling his chair out to the great room, Garrett greeted Chief Exorcist Fellix with a slight bow. The chief had three others with him, all dressed in the leather armor common to adventurers but sporting the yellow armbands that marked them as official exorcists.

“Hello, Chief Fellix. It’s nice to see you again.”

“Heh, you don’t have to lie, Mr. Klein,” Fellix said, waving his hand. “I’m here on unofficial business. A personal matter of a private nature, so I was wondering if you could spare me some time?”

“Of course.
