CHAPTER 26
Deliberate Betrayal
AT SOME POINT, Joline and Michael joined him. They looked happy. Their strange host seemed to delight in chatting with all the surrounding humans. Tom saw him having animated discussions with nearly everyone in the human camp. The otter was a social animal. Each session, Tom observed, was like his own: Mus only spent five minutes with each person, but it had an impact. Some left filled with hope, and others near tears (those, presumably, the ones with whom Mus had shared an unwelcome truth). Yet despite the range of emotions, Tom was sure no permanent harm was being done. People needed the bandaids ripped off. Existentia may have been immeasurably different from the tutorial, but it was just as brutal.
Tom and Everlyn collapsed next to each other, back against the wall that looked down at the party. The bard was still strumming his harp, but the intense, fast pace of dance music had faded into something more reflective and gentle after the drummer had disappeared with a female companion earlier in the night. Above their heads, Musâs huge steed was flapping lazily through the air â it had become a regular occurrence. It would usually leap in the air and do a five-minute circuit before returning to the ground. That cycle took place every twenty minutes, apart from that time when it had caught one of the giant lizards and spent thirty minutes eating about half of it in clear view of everyone with night vision.
âBed.â Everlyn suggested.
Tom said nothing. Now the latest set of gases had worn off, he felt a sense of disquiet.
âWhatâs bothering you?â
Tom shook his head. âIâm not sure. I feel like Iâve missed something important tonight.â
âNo one died.â
âI know. Iâm going through my list to see if weâre missing anyone.â
âMus said he is going to protect us.â
âCan the griffin really stop the killer?â
Everlyn shrugged. âI think so. I canât even tell what level it is, but itâs definitely above rank sixty.â She shook her head and bopped his nose in mock admonishment. âEnough sad talk. Did you enjoy the night? I did; I like the gases, and Mus was funny. I reckon he asked everyone if they would join him.â
âYeah,â Tom agreed. âYou werenât there for the negotiations, but him sourcing some volunteers is going to be enormous for his species. He probably couldnât help himself because he was so excited.â
âWill he get any?â
Tom laughed. âYeah, five of the ten people Joline asked agreed. Which will get us a fortune, at least in value. I donât know what heâs squirreled away in his trade goods.â
Everlyn chuckled. âGiven the amount of party material, I imagine itâs a lot. Or, maybe,â she poked her tongue out at him. âMaybe itâs just his priorities, and all weâre going to end up with are his party supplies.â
âYou take that back,â Tom demanded, nudging her. âOur luminary, august personage of an otter will have sensible adventuring stock to transform our lives.â
âTransform? Heâs offering that much?â
âYeah. He agreed to give a fortune.
