Chapter 35

Mandragora Mayhem

Mandragoras popped up from the ground beneath the Sourcestone, investigating their new environment with great surprise and interest.

As much as those seed-like eyes could convey to Sam, anyway. He hadn’t even noticed they were there. The creatures were so easy to miss when they were buried.

Their militia flanked the rest of what were practically civilian mandragoras, readying wedge-like wooden swords. It didn’t escape Sam’s notice that the basic weaponry resembled a child’s attempt at his [Charred Claymore’s] likeness.

And there seemed to be quite a bit more than he remembered. There had been only 6 before, right? So why did he now count at least a dozen?

I guess they are plants.

The rest of the mandragoras weren’t having it. They scattered and took off in every direction like a bunch of startled cats.

The few militia members of the mandys looked to Sam for permission, and he gave them a curt nod. They about-faced, fell over each other, then charged after the greater whole of their new brothers and sisters.

Raiko stared after the mandys helplessly, then put her face in her hands.

“Well, they’re not coming back,” Matt said. “Think we’ll come back one day to a Skyshard with a thousand mandragoras?”

“Could be worse,” Sam said, turning his attention back to the Faction notification.

Faction Selection

There are countless types of Factions you may create. To finalize the bonding of your Skyshards and that of your Sourcestone to the Sacred Tree, both Skyshard owners must agree upon a Faction identity. These range from tyrannical dictatorships to direct democracy, anarchy, hibbelism, tornquistics, and everything in between.

“What the hell is hibbelism?” Sam said aloud.

“Doesn’t sound natchi,” Komachi said. He figured that meant some variant of natural.

Nobody seemed to know what hibbelism was, though Lenal looked a little green, as if he had just said a very filthy word.

Whatever it was, Sam didn’t want that to be their mode of governance. He looked over at Raiko. “Sidebar?”

“Sure. Yeah.” She turned away from the fleeing mandys, and the various fruits and vegetables they left in their wake around the Sourcestone.

The pair walked a bit away, coincidentally up a nearby hill, to get a better view of the dust trails the mandys left behind.

Sam whistled. “They really did split up in every direction possible, huh?” He put his hands on his hips and smiled like a proud parent. “The extra room’ll do them good. It’s not like we were using it, anyway.”

“They’ll do better here,” Raiko agreed. “I just hope they don’t get caught up in the streams or moat. I’m not completely sure nothing spills off the edge.”

With a motion that encompassed the entire Skyshard, Sam turned to Raiko. “I assume you’ve got the same notification as I did. I figured, since these Skyshards are essentially ours, we might want to discuss their future together. Not that I don’t trust the others, but well… they don’t have a Sourcestone or Sacred Tree.”

Raiko nodded. “They are ours by right, yes. I don’t want to disparage your fellows, but it typically falls to Incarnates for leadership.
