Twenty-Two

The next morning was quiet and uncomfortable. Sandra was wary of me and I was wary of her being wary which meant we kept circling each other while the others got ready to move out.

Kip had magicked up some delicious eggs and hash browns. However, being magic, they only restored some of our Health. One real egg would have boosted the percentage almost as much as that full meal had. But, our bellies were full, at least, and we were ready to get to work.

We stood as a group on the edge of the thicket of trees and stared out at the landscape before us. It was nothing but rolling hills to the horizon where a massive range of mountains stood, as if they signaled the edge of the world. Which they just might have. It was EverRealm.

In the middle of the range was a mass of black clouds swirling constantly. Bubby had said the Creator had hidden Jackal Mountain from view. He did kind of a crappy job, in my opinion. It’s not like people didn’t know there was something nasty behind those clouds. I mean, it couldn’t have looked more evil if someone had drawn an arrow in the sky pointing to it with a sign that said, “Abandon all hope ye who enter here.” Or maybe even, “Y’all gonna die!”

“Anyone have a good transporting spell they want to use?” Coz asked. “This would be a great time to whip that puppy out.”

“No one’s whipping any puppies out, Coz,” Trish said. “Transporting spells are highly unstable even under the best of circumstances. Otherwise, every noob in this damn game would be popping around EverRealm and acting like idiots while messing up quests for real players like us. Anyway, you think I want to try one while I’m still tired as fuck and need a real meal?”

Kip grunted.

“No offense,” Trish said. “That shit was delicious, but you know it ain’t gonna get us through the day.”

“Yeah,” Kip replied and nodded.

“Wait, hold on,” I said to Trish. “You transported us to Castle Lormillion when you found us?”

“Nah, I cheated,” Trish said. “That was a yo-yo spell tied to the castle. It wasn’t a real transportation spell.”

“What we need is a village,” Sandra said. She pointed to a far-off haze of smoke that clung to one of the larger hills. “There. I believe that is called Howerby.”

“Yes, you are correct,” Ming said. His eyes were unfocused, and I could tell he was accessing his display. “Howerby is a village with a population of approximately thirty-eight. They are farmers with a few tradesfolk. If we are lucky, we can find shelter for the day and night there so we may rest and eat and continue on our journey to Jackal Mountain.”

“Who named that mountain?” I asked. “Was it like your great grandfather or someone, Ming?”

“It was part of the original game design,” Ming said. “Names were simple and descriptive back in the late 20th century. Jackals have been associated with death and sorcery since the dawn of man.
