Myrka wasn’t happy, but she bowed to my orders and scowled at the guards who gingerly brought in a chair for her to use. She sneered at them when they lifted a key to remove her manacles, which just turned to dust. Then she ignored the guards and spoke to me, “I will wait until morning, if you have not returned by then, I will kill all of these foolish saerans and come find you.”

The guards were all looking nervous as hell and gripping their weapons tightly as they backed away from the Tarvos sorceress.

“I’d be very nice to her, boys,” I said and walked out the cell door.

I noticed the saeran captain, with his Actuality knife, was stationed outside Myrka’s cell door. I wished him luck with that if Myrka got really pissed; I was thinking of those skeletal ghosts she had fried, and the influence of the weapon hadn’t seemed all that strong.

Hydan, Toji and I were escorted by a saeran guard out onto the streets of Poseidon. The place was a little like Amsterdam, with even more canals and fewer streets. It seemed that they had split the Celadon River into many canals through the city, and then let the water exit out massive drains which went over the cliffs along the beach. This acted as a constant sewer system, as fresh water was continually being fed through the canal system.

There were a lot of saerans here, some selling things along the streets, or out on boats. Many saerans swam in the canals rather than walk the roads; saerans were actually faster in the water. There were poor looking saerans huddled in various alleys; it was obvious the city had taken in a lot of refugees from the war.

Hydan purchased a bottle of some nasty brew from a street vendor as we walked by, and then started swigging from it with gusto.

“Ah, it has been too long since I had a civilized brew!” he exclaimed, smacking his lips.

Eventually, we arrived at an ornate hall which was erected in front of a wide and prominent canal. White marble steps came up out of the water, then a road bisected them, and the stairs continued up on the other side, leading to an entrance at the top. There were six large pillars holding up the peaked roof at the entrance to the Hall of Records.

We took the stairs and entered. Inside we found a massive oval chamber, with an oval counter area in the center where several saerans were working.

Our escort stepped to the side of the entry doors, he was obviously going to wait for us to finish, and then escort us back.

Until this moment, I hadn’t really told my companions about my ‘test’, but I did so now.

Hydan pursed his lips, and then said, “And they were amazed you were a Third?”

I nodded, and added, “I could swear the wizard who tested me was shocked and worried.”

Hydan nodded, “Meaning he was likely a lower Tier mage, and therefore, quite worried you would exercise your right.
