THE SECRET MESSAGE

“Sorry, Kai. But I need them for myself,” Greenrow answered with a helpless shrug. “However, if it’s a good time you want, just say the word and I’ll find you the fair beauty from your dreams. Why would you want this trash?”

What’s going on? Kai’s head was spinning. I was just about to die.

Idiot! You wanted to die?! Rune’Tan’s voice suddenly exploded. Are you really that stupid?! Do you not understand what your moronic actions could lead to?! If you don’t give a damn about your life, that’s fine, but I don’t want to part with mine! You goddamn idiot!

Wh-what... what happened?

Kai felt both empty and alive at the same time, as if he had escaped drowning at the last moment, having been pulled out of the water just a second before losing consciousness. All he wanted to do was fall on the floor and forget about everything. It was this desire coupled with the strange feeling that a wide hole gaped somewhere in his chest that helped him control himself.

I saved your fucking ass! That’s what happened! Rune’Tan yelled out in anger.

Walk me through it, Kai said. He was slowly coming back to his senses.

You need an explanation?! You moron... All that you’ve just seen is reality! The redhead didn’t seem like he’d calm down anytime soon. Or rather, the most likely version of what would’ve occurred! This bastard will kill you if you try to attack him! Damn it! And he should... Do you know how many years of my life I’ve just spent to save us?! How about you start using your head a little?! It’s not just for pretty hairdos, you know!

Even though he was surprised, confused, and even felt a little guilty, Kai wouldn’t allow to be insulted like this.

Calm down, he said, sending a wave of calming energy into his soul. The tension died down, but it remained unclear whether this had a bigger effect on Rune’Tan or on him. Have you shown me the future?

We can put it like that, Rune’Tan grunted nervously. This skill is a heritage of my bloodline. It saved my life when the empire fell... And because of you, I wasted my second chance! If I try to use it again, it’ll break my soul — I don’t have enough strength!

Bloodline?! But...

What? Did you think that a family technique becomes useless the moment you die? he asked mockingly and immediately answered his own question. No. It’s much deeper than that. Both your body and soul are imbued with these techniques! To varying degrees, of course, but still... The spirit suddenly became silent.

Rune’Tan?

I… he answered weakly, I’m falling asleep...

Wait! Kai exclaimed.

Nothing.

Rune’Tan spent too much energy this time, and Kai had no choice but to return to the real world, in which only a couple of seconds had passed.

“Kai?” Greenrow asked with slight concern in his voice. “You wandered off for a moment there...”

“Hm? Yes...” Kai winced, remembering just how easily Greenrow had killed him a moment ago. “I mean.
