Chapter 35

Ruwen removed the four coins from an inner pocket of the Aspect and stared at them.

“Did Sift and Io give you their coins?” Blapy asked and then narrowed her eyes. “Now they’ll have to spend extra time with me.”

Ruwen tried to minimize the damage. “I think they just wanted to help me.”

Blapy glared at him, and he quickly changed the subject. “What are these for? What are other people doing with them?”

“I’m talking to over sixty people right now. The vast majority want advice on breaking through to their next level. Some want access to the dungeon, some advice on hiding from a god, and a couple wish a small token from me.”

Rami do you have any ideas? All I care about is finding the Iris, but she can’t tell us that.

Not directly.

What do you mean?

Mom emphasized the word ‘couple’ when she said “…and a couple wish a small token from me.” She might mean us.

Ruwen considered that. It is an odd thing for anyone here to request. Their bodies are just Spirit here, and any token they get, they couldn’t take back to the Material Realm.

Ruwen focused on Blapy. “What type of tokens do people want?”

Blapy shrugged. “Something personal that they can turn to in difficult times. Something to help give them direction.”

Ruwen spoke to Rami. I think you’re right. She’s trying to tell us something.

Definitely. But she can’t just tell us where to go. Eventually, the gods will know you were the Scarecrow. They’ll want to see what she gave you. That’s why she made the fight difficult and why she isn’t directly helping us now.

Ruwen let Blapy’s words swirl in his mind. A few words and phrases jumped out at him: personal, turn, difficult times, direction. When he thought about those words, the answer seemed obvious.

Rami, I think she wants to give us books. They are important to both of us. You turn their pages. And growing up, I used them to escape.

You’re right! And she knows all the books I already have. Which means she might know I don’t have enough information to find the Iris. Oh my, she is so clever. Not only did her appearance and coins force a more challenging opponent on you, but it also allowed her to pass us information.

Ruwen took a coin, placed it on top of his thumb, and flipped it in the air.

Blapy never moved, but a heartbeat later, she held the coin. She walked to the table, placed the coin on its edge, and then flicked it, sending it spinning across the surface. “Greetings fellow traveler of the true path, how can I ease your journey?”

Ruwen bowed. “Thank you for this opportunity, Companion. I have spent more time here than I intended, and I’ve read all the books I brought. Do you have anything I could read to help pass the time?”

Blapy smiled, and a book appeared in her hand. She held it up like a pie. Four fingers thick and the size of his forearm, Ruwen used both hands to take it from her.
