Chapter 7

A Mage's Hatred

“Jericho!” Kadra, Avara, Sirun, and Rela said almost simultaneously as he emerged from the dark gate. Their armor was beaten up and torn. Additionally, their spirits were only a fraction of their normal strength.

“Where’s Jinx and Freya?” Jericho asked looking at the four. Their expressions varied from furious to one word away from breaking out in tears.

“Anger, fear, sadness, pain,” Sable said emerging from the portal, protected by Theia. She glanced up at Jericho haughtily, “I’m shocked. You promise happiness and deliver pain.”

“You’re forgetting about hope,” Theia said. “Perseverance, integrity, courage, and love.”

“Quiet,” Jericho said. He looked at Kadra who seemed to be the most collected. “Kadra, what happened?”

“Jinx said she’s furious at you for taking so long,” Kadra said struggling to keep herself together. “Jinx was taken by the red cloaks, she saved us.”

“Phoenix. What about Freya?” Jericho asked through clenched teeth as frost swirled around him. Just the thought of Jinx being captured by Loki filled him with unbridled hatred.

“Hate,” Sable said. “Powerlessness, wrath, bloodlust. Do you wish to end our bet now?”

“Sable!” Jericho snapped at the smirking sorceress. He turned back to the wolves, “What about Freya?”

“She broke through and went back to the manor to get help,” Kadra answered. “We need to hurry, maybe we can…”

“We’re going after them,” Jericho said pulling up his map. “They’ll head back to Kar Mograth. Where did they attack from?”

“The north…” Avara answered.

“Fuck!” Jericho snapped closing his map. He released pillars of ice and earth from his overflowing elemental pathways. They would already be in a safe zone, if they were in the safe zone, he couldn’t kill them and take her. At best he could steal her but that’d take time to organize a heist, “Fuck!”

“Should I go back in my prison and we’ll try again tomorrow?” Sable said smugly.

“Goddammit!” Jericho snapped unable to focus on anything but Jinx. He shouldn’t have taken so long, he knew they were in enemy territory and decided to fuck around anyway. Jinx being captured was his mistake and he needed remedy it, “Fuck it. We’re going to Kar Mograth.”

“But it has the blessing of peace,” Theia said. “There is nothing we can…”

“We can negotiate,” Jericho said. “We’ll find out what Loki wants and give it to him.”

“No!” Kadra objected. “Jinx wouldn’t want that!”

“We need to rescue her,” Sirun cried. “It’s my fault she was captured.”

“Which is why I’ll negotiate her release as quickly as possible,” Jericho said. “If he won’t release her after a quick negotiation, we’ll make Phoenix’s life so hard that everybody turns on him. Let’s go.”

“Oh,” Sable said as Jericho dragged her along. “So forceful.”

While running to the portal Jericho started doing internal accounting on what he had to offer. He had a few dozen legendary items, about two hundred thousand gold, the businesses in Dayrose which generate the gold, the manor, and information. Since he was technically the sole owner of the manor, he could unilaterally sell it even though it’d likely upset Terra.

Beyond that,
