Chapter 17

Izora

Lord Regan brought my people back to life! This was a miracle if ever I saw one. The priests would never be able to do something like that. Then this stupid dwarf decided to open his big fat mouth and ruin the feeling.

“Blasphemy! Lelune is the Holy Mother!” Folwin shouted.

“Mother of lies,” I retorted.

“I can’t let this pass; I’ll be reporting all this to the Vicar Council when we leave this place! Especially how the gnomes view the goddess,” Folwin said in a huff.

“Bring it. We aren’t afraid of you!” one of my guards shouted at him. I nodded with his statement. I’d like to see anyone try to mess with my people when they’ve started gearing for war.

“Now, I was going to ignore this, but I don’t want a crusade to happen just yet. I’m far too busy for that. If you want to insist on this path, Mr. Folwin, then I’m afraid none of your party will be allowed to leave,” Lord Regan said with a large amount of anger.

He raised his hand, and all across the floor, wolves started to howl. It was eerie how in sync they all were and how much anger I could feel from them as well. At the back of my head, the rules about dungeons having to play fair were completely thrown out. Lord Regan truly was on another level. The Chaos Party grouped together in response to the killing intent being sent their way from nearly all directions.

“Lord Regan, what’s to stop them from giving their word, then sending a message when they leave the dungeon?” I asked, worried.

“Oh, that’s easy,” he said, then looked over to Folwin. “Little dwarf, here is a glimpse of my power.” He raised his hand, then a dome formed around the party. At first, nothing happened, then Folwin shouted in surprise and quite a bit of fear.

“The Lady! She has gone from me!” he said before he fell to his knees.

“Exactly. I doubt you want to be the cause of your church being completely powerless in a nearly five-hundred-kilometer radius around this town. Would make destroying me quite difficult, wouldn’t it?” Lord Regan asked, then dropped the dome around the party. I was sure there was more to it, but I made sure to keep my mouth shut.

Folwin looked at Lord Regan with fear in his eyes, while the rest of the party was forced to the side of the issue. Folwin only held Lord Regan’s eye for a moment before he lowered his own. From the looks on the rest of the party’s faces, they really had no idea what to do in this situation. I, for one, was glad Lord Regan had ways to remove the traitor goddess’s influence from his area. Just one more point toward him being an actual god. The gnomes had loved Arin before he was betrayed.

“I . . . I understand. I apologize to the princess. As she herself showed, I just didn’t like my faith questioned in such a fashion,” Folwin said as he lowered his head nearly to the ground.
