Chapter 1566: Nirun
Ning followed the Carver through the night, but he only just returned to his home and didn't go anywhere. It appeared he would go talk to his Captain a while later.
The man didn't sleep. He wanted to sleep, but if he did, he would either have to wake up in the middle and break his sleep or miss out on talking to his captain.
It was already just an hour or two away from morning, so he decided to stall it out. He went to take a bath, and ate some food, simply waiting.
Finally, when the lights came on in the ceiling, the man left his room, slowly making his way toward the Captain's room. Ning went along with the man and arrived in front of a large room, which the man entered.
There was no one there right away, so all he could do was wait.
A while later, someone arrived in the room and the man stood up, saluting the man. "Captain!"
The man paused and looked around, making sure there was no one there.
"What are you here for?" the Captain asked.
Ning looked at the captain, taking his image into mind. There was nothing there to name him just yet, but at least he knew what he looked like and where his office was.
That should be enough.
"He requests Yoman's help tonight and the following nights," the man said.
"No," the Captain said simply. "He can't have anyone else. Go help him tonight. If he wants Yoman, tell him the price will be higher."
The Carver seemed like he wanted to say something, but he held his tongue. "Yes, Captain." "Go and take some rest. You look horrible."
The man said nothing and returned back to his place.
Ning left him alone this time, going to meet Redaime. She was already in her room and wasn't surprised when Ning asked to enter.
"Come on in, and close the door," she said.
Ning did as told and brought out a jar full of the liquid that he had scooped out of the ground before it was burned.
"Aye aye, Captain!"
"What?" Redaime looked at him with a confused look.
Ning laughed to himself. "Nothing. Just wanted to say that. I'll go do what you said." He left the room before Redaime could ask him anything else.
As soon as he left the Captain's room, he began wondering how Nirun could have possibly reverted from Sparkless to someone who could use Spark once more.
Maybe there was a way, or maybe as Redaime said, this was a different Nirun.
There was one way to find out.
Once he was out of sight of anyone, Ning teleported into Nirun's house, who was beginning to prepare to sleep. He had changed into some comfortable clothes and was about to get into bed when he turned around to some noise.
Ning sat at the table with one leg up on another, leaning on his hand with his elbow on the
table.
"Nirun, right?" he asked.
"Who are you?" Nirun asked, confused and scared. He reached for the vial of Spark at the corner of the room, grabbing it immediately. He took out a bit of it and sniffed it
immediately.
Ning watched him take in all of the Spark and waited for him to turn around.
"Do you not remember me?" Ning asked. "I thought I left an impression on your lot. I
would've expected a surprised 'it's you!' at least."
Nirun frowned, but slowly his eyes changed as he finally remembered who Ning was. It had been a week since he had last seen him, so he didn't remember immediately.
"It's you!" he shouted out loud.
Ning smiled. "There it is."
