CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Archie left the new redstone golem at the Fiery Forge with orders to start preparing the raw materials for more of its own kind. To that end, it would need to carve out as much redstone as it could find and place it into the mold. As it found more, it would stack up the extra next to the mold for later use.

Archie would have to return to imbue the new redstone golems with life. That was something only the Orb could manage.

Perhaps you should stay here and oversee the operation.

Archie knew all that was true, but it couldn’t be helped. He had to return to Highblock Keep before the Illagers arrived there. He didn’t trust them alone near the place—especially Thord. The last thing he needed was to get there and discover that someone else had stolen his seat at the top of the Obsidian Pinnacle.

You mean your throne.

Archie honestly hadn’t thought of the chair like that before. To him, it had only been a place to sit while he stared into the Orb of Dominance. Thrones were meant for rulers.

You are a ruler.

That felt wrong. Didn’t rulers have subjects? People they ruled over? Without those, how could anyone be a ruler? Just ruling over the redstone golems in Highblock Keep didn’t seem to qualify.

Your subjects will arrive at your keep soon.

Archie frowned at that. He wasn’t sure Walda would agree to make him the leader of the Illagers so easily. She hadn’t seen him since she’d banished him from the tribe.

Once the story of how he saved the raiding party reached her, perhaps she would change her mind. It was a long way from admitting you were wrong about someone to handing over your entire tribe to him though.

You don’t need her endorsement. The Illagers will follow you.

Archie hoped the Orb of Dominance was right.

He climbed back on top of the redstone golem that had brought them there and set off back toward home. When they returned to Highblock Keep, no one was waiting for them. However, Archie could see a large group of people marching toward them through the desert to the south. That had to be the Illagers, and from the look of them, they must have brought the entire tribe, exactly as he’d hoped.

Archie lowered the drawbridge and entered the keep. He went down to the dungeons and retrieved the rest of the redstone golems. They joined him back at the drawbridge in plenty of time.

Archie wanted to show the Illagers his strength—or some of it, at least—without actually hurting anyone. The redstone golems seemed like the best way to manage that. He was used to hanging around with them now, and they still impressed him. He knew how the Illagers would see them.

It was late in the day when the Illagers finally arrived. Archie was bored of waiting for them by then, and he sat leaning up against one of the redstone golems until the tribe was in shouting distance. Then he pushed himself to his feet and held his staff—topped with the Orb of Dominance—before him.
