Chapter Fourteen

In which our hero wakes up twice.

I opened my eyes that morning—well, not exactly, more like that afternoon—regardless, I woke up and tried to piece my thoughts together. Everything was mixed up in my head—gods, pixies, Valyaev, the Legion… Too much information had been crammed into my brain over the last day, and it was trying to get its feet under it. I needed a break.

Groaning, I crawled out of bed and onto the balcony. Fall was starting to encroach on Moscow, though summer wasn’t giving up without a fight. The leaves were still green, if tinged with yellow, the sun was more tiredly dimmed than blindingly bright, and there was a faint autumn bitterness in the air. Children were running in the courtyard and making much more noise than they had been a couple weeks before that. The dacha season was over, and all the grandmothers had brought their grandchildren back from their panelboard-and-wood resorts in the villages to their blocky brick homes in the city.

I don’t like smoking on an empty stomach, but I needed a few drags to wake me up a little. Some people prefer coffee for their morning pick-me-up, others drink cocoa, and I smoke cigarettes. I know, I know, smoking on an empty stomach is bad for me—not to mention smoking in general.

My head was starting to clear, so I tossed the butt over the rail. (Yes, I’m a pig, but I can’t stand having those empty beer bottles full of cigarettes laying around. And, seriously, be honest. Who doesn’t do that every once in a while?) I went back inside to shave and have breakfast—or lunch, I guess. I decided not to take too much time, since I had quite a bit to do that day. I needed to go split my loot with the dwarf, grill him and Locket about the Departed Gods, and, while I was on the subject, do whatever else I could to learn more about them. I figured I could check the forums, but the lack of information there would probably push me toward some people outside the game. Then, I needed to head over to the office to check in on my team. We had our first issue coming up, and I couldn’t ignore them forever. That wouldn’t have been right on my part, but, more importantly, my head would be the one on the line if they screwed up. And, that would have just fed my colleagues’ schadenfreude. We were a close-knit group that always liked to see each other fail.

Once I had some food in me, I jumped straight into the capsule, and a minute later, stood up next to the fence I’d collapsed next to the day before. The irony was palpable; I had gold, my hotel room was paid for, and I spent the night next to a fence. The first legionnaire, a favorite of the gods, and even a favorite of the demiurges…

On the way to the market, I noticed that the city guard was darting in and out of all the different courtyards.
