“A witch, a wizard, a Gray Elf, a Drow, and a nine-tailed fox?” Kut burst out laughing. “Earth really is different now.”

Hana rolled her eyes. “It’s been a long time since you helped Genghis Khan slaughter people, old man.”

His smile faded. “If it weren’t for me, he would have done far worse, but it doesn’t matter because the aid of his warriors was vital for dealing with the more pressing issue here. If we’d not stopped the beast, it might have grown too powerful.”

Alison nodded. “What happened, exactly?”

“A meteor fell. It was infused with odd and powerful magic that could be felt far off. There was a powerful entity inside it, something not fully intelligent but frighteningly strong. I became aware of its effects when it transformed an entire village beyond the desert into the corrupted.” Kut shook his head. “I allied with other witches and wizards, and we managed to seal the creature and its magic, but only after fighting through armies of the corrupted.”

“What was this creature?” Mason asked.

Kut shrugged. “I don’t know. We never faced it directly, only sensed it indirectly. We gained some sense of its enormities with attempts to scry it, but we didn’t want to press too deeply because of the risk. It never left the meteor, and after we fought through its defenders with the help of the Khan’s forces, we sank the meteor deep into the desert and sealed most of the beast’s power. Someone needed to maintain the seal, so I volunteered because I wasn’t sure the others could survive the spell. They were responsible for taking care of the residual magical power that had corrupted the area. It’s ability to change people, even after being sealed, was too much of a risk.” He pointed to a wall. “And it appears they built the appropriate place to do that.”

Drysi scoffed. “Those freaks weren’t so hard to beat. All you had to do was cut their heads off.”

The gnome gave her the pitying look one might normally save for a deluded young child. “That was only fortune aiding you. The magic of the beast is strange and different from what you’re used to on Earth or Oriceran. When we fought them before, they could come back, even if we burned them to ashes. The centuries must have taken a toll on their power. But you can still be proud of yourself that you defeated something weakened to a bare fragment of its original power.” He gave her a pleasant smile.

“We should have left you at the bottom of the stairs,” Drysi muttered.

Mason frowned. “Wait a minute. If the wards are failing on the imps, what about the beast?”

Kut held up a hand and closed his eyes. He held his breath for a few seconds before he exhaled. “They’re fine. These were created using different principles. The imps are ultimately corrupted Earth people and have a fundamental link to the natural magic of this planet, but the beast is something else. Now that
