“Nice!” Ruwen said.

“What is it?” Sift asked.

Hamma looked at Sift, confused.

“You might as well explain now,” Ruwen said.

“I’m not like you,” Sift said.

Sift looked between them.

Ruwen cleared his throat. “You might want to be a little more specific.”

“My soul is pure,” Sift said.

Ruwen groaned. “He hasn’t Ascended. He’s a Cultivator like his parents. I’d guess his level to be around thirteen give or take a level.”

“Oh,” Hamma said. “But he looks like a Fighter to me.”

Sift jumped up and pulled his shirt over his head and then pointed to the snake tattoo covering his entire torso. “Blapy gave me this. Isn’t it incredible?”

Sift continued to stare at it, moving the muscles in his chest to see what effect it had on the snake.

Ruwen shook his head. “That tattoo makes him appear to others like one of Uru’s Fighters, but he is really Classless.”

“Hey! I have class,” Sift said.

“Big c, not little c. Anyway, he is basically a Step Master –”

“I am teaching Ruwen the Steps. I’m his Sisen,” Sift said.

“That’s what you guys were doing before?” Hamma asked.

“Yes, practicing,” Ruwen said.

Hamma twisted her lip. “So, Sift is basically an Unarmed Fighter.”

Sift had focused back on his tattoo, and Ruwen smiled. “He has some other abilities that help, too. He can sense what’s in a room, the smaller the room, the better, and he can absorb just about any type of energy that touches him.”

“What does that mean exactly?” Hamma asked.

“As long as the source isn’t too concentrated, his Center absorbs it and…” Ruwen trailed off as a thought shook him.

Using the Harvester Open and Closed poses, he had controlled the flow and type of energy he’d absorbed. It was no different than Sift, except Sift did it naturally. If Ruwen could mimic that somehow, or figure out how to Harvest like that without doing the poses, he could walk around on fire, just like Sift. He would need to be careful though to not actually Harvest it, but only absorb what touched him. It was something he definitely needed to practice.

“Hey!” Hamma said as she waved her hand in front of Ruwen’s face.

“Sorry, I drifted off for a second,” Ruwen said.

“He does that a lot,” Sift said. “Until dungeon level fifteen, I can handle most of what Blapy throws at me. Although with three of us going, she will increase the difficulty. If I am on fire or engulfed in a spell, don’t worry. Cuts, especially piercing attacks, are what really hurt me.”

Hamma’s brow furrowed. “That’s good to know. You’ve already seen some of my healing spells…”

Hamma stopped as Sift stood and bowed deeply. “Sister Hamma, I owe you my life. I am ashamed that it has taken me so long to express my thankfulness. The One teaches us that life, while fruitless, should still be cherished. I owe you a soul debt.”

Sift bowed again and then sat.

“You’re welcome, Sift,” Hamma said. “Although Ruwen’s quick thinking is what really saved your life.”

“But the ambush was his fault, so I consider us even,” Sift said.
