159. Adam is Nice

159. Adam is Nice

Omen: 18, 20

“Something is wrong,” Raygak said, holding the ball firmly in hand.

“What is wrong?” Katool asked from beside him, catching her breath.

“Adam is being nice today,” the boy said. “Too nice.”

“Adam is always nice,” Katool said, earnestly.

“Not when he wins.”

“He has not won today.”

“Yes,” Raygak said, trying to piece together the puzzle. Unfortunately for him, thinking was not his strong suit.

Adam finished playing with the children before quickly bathing. He whistled as he sauntered his way to the enchanting shrine, ready and eager to finish off that sword which Entalia had given to him to enchant.

Adam remained deep in thought, far too long to name the weapon. Even the Iyrman who was sent to watch over him was growing worried after watching Adam stare at the sword for so long.

“Well, that was lucky,” Adam said, staring down at the sword. “The damage is pretty good, and the extra healing is nice.” He swung it around before returning back to the estate.

“What did you make today?” Zijin asked, sitting opposite Sonarot as he ate.

“Fancy seeing you here,” Adam said, staring at the Elder. “Have you come to play with the sword?”

“Yes,” Zijin said. “Since you create magical weapons so quickly, I assumed you’d be done this day.”

“Keeping track of me, are you?” Adam said, raising his brow.

“Of course.”

“As always, Aunt gets to play with it first.”

“Can’t I?” Zijin asked.

“No,” Adam said.

“Since it is a blade, and the Elder is so eager, perhaps he could play with it first?” Sonarot asked.

Adam squinted his eyes. “Since you insist.” He tossed the blade to the Elder, who quickly grabbed it.

“Another which requires it to be attached to my soul?” Zijin asked.

“It’s because they’re so powerful,” Adam said.

Zijin nodded. “I thought that you may be able to surpass that issue.”

“I’m still a boy yet,” Adam said, smirking at the Orc.

Zijin meditated with the blade for sometime, before practising with it. “It is a great blade,” Zijin said, before he placed down a pouch.

“What’s that?” Adam asked.

“The payment for your previous blade,” the Elder said.

“For Giantslayer?” Adam said, reaching down into the pouch to feel all the gems. “How much did it sell for?”

“Six thousand and three hundred gold.”

Lanarot reached out for a skewer which was on the ground, but Adam pulled her away, instead turning her around to face him.

“Did you have fun without me?” He nuzzled her nose and rocked her in his arms. “Seriously though, where did you get the fur?” Adam asked.

Sonarot stared at him, tilting her head slightly. At first she thought he was joking, but Adam gave her a confused look.

“You brought it,” she said.

“I did?” Adam said, before recalling how he had brought it with his many gifts. “Oh yeah. It wasn’t just Dragon scales, was it?” Adam chuckled. “Aren’t I thoughtful.”

Sonarot smiled. “The coat is loose so that she can grow into it.”

“No wonder you look like a little Dwarf,” Adam said, kissing her forehead. “Should I buy you some more fabric and cloth?”

Sonarot smiled, before nibbling on some food. ‘How fortunate I am to have such a sweet brother to my daughter.’

“I guess I should enchant...” Adam grumbled. “It won’t be the best thing ever, but since he asked for a basic spear, it should be okay?”

He played with the pups, who had grown rather quickly. They were already eating small bits of meat, and were crawling around and playing with one another.

“If I hear you two girls have been naughty, I’ll be speaking with Jaygak and Kitool to tell you off,” he warned, wagging his finger.

“Why does he talk to the Dire Wolves?” Raygak asked, looking at his father.

Jogak stared at Adam. “He is queer.”

Raygak nodded.

“What are these rolls?” Adam grumbled, noting just how he had rolled so many 20’s. “Are you poking fun at me, Mistress Fate?”

“So, is the storm going to end in a few days?” Adam asked, glancing over at Sonarot, who was currently wiping Lanarot’s mouth clean.

“In a few days, yes,” she said. “The storm only lasts during the middle month of Duskval.”

“Will it change because of what happened that day?”

“No. We have not been informed.”

“Do you know what happened that day?” Adam asked.

“No,” Sonarot said. “Now go and enchant before you get into trouble with more questions.”
