Chapter 36 - Investigating the Scene

I left Ashe in charge of Fenris’ entire clan. She’d made a token protest, but, after searching my eyes for a brief moment, she had conceded. Zorlando went with her. I was hopeful that the children were asleep, but I doubted it. The image of Kappa carrying their mother’s body into the house would probably haunt them forever.

“Shart, I want evidence,” I growled, looking at the damaged structure of the bridge. I found nothing. Not even my Perception, Heightened Senses spell, or my prayers to my fake god seemed to work. Finally, I brought up the town menu and searched for anything there. I only realized Julia was gone after more than an hour had passed.

She wasn’t a resident, so I couldn’t track her. That might seem counterintuitive, but, for the most part, you had to give permission for things to happen on Ordinal. She had not given permission for me to see her on my maps.

By early evening, the storms had abated. We were in the eye of the storm. For a brief time, the rain slacked off to something less than biblical proportion.

​I still found nothing.

“I’m sorry, Dum Dum. I can’t really do any exhaustive detective work from this Walker Orb,” stated Shart. “You are on your own. You got this. I believe in you!”

I growled at that. It had been hours, and I hadn’t found anything. All I had was a very strong suspicion that the bridge had not collapsed simply due to water surge and a lack of proper maintenance. I wasn’t going to learn anything more.

I was soaked, so I cast Endure Elements. The water immediately began to flow away from my clothing. I wondered how long it had been since I had last cast the spell.

With nothing else to do, I went home. I still didn’t fully accept that Windfall Manor was my home. I was far more used to living in my nice, little house in rural Ohio. However, all my stuff was at the manor. It had to be my humble abode. Now that the rain had turned to a drizzle, I could see people milling about outside.

I avoided them, reaching my front door. I felt a few glances sent my direction, but no one said anything. Everyone in Windfall trusted each other because of the barrier. Even a strange man walking around in black half plate wasn’t instantly a threat.

I stepped inside. Badgelor was asleep on the mantel, his stubby feet suspended over the fire. His Damage Resistance meant that anything short of a bonfire was just warm to him.

I wondered if I would be able to get any sleep. Sighing, I walked upstairs to my room. Entering, I noticed that Ashe hadn’t made the bed, which was uncharacteristically sloppy of her. I grabbed the blankets and pulled them up, only to find a very naked Julia. The sleeping princess was covered with nothing more than a thin cotton sheet. Her bloodshot eyes shot open, and she slapped me.
