Book 6: Chapter 21

Hes still following you, Erin whispered into Lindyss ear. It was a whisper, but everyone around the fairy queen had heard her, including the person she was talking about. Lindyss turned around and frowned at the red-haired man trailing behind the group. He was standing just within the pocket of space formed by Gaegukja Yeols radiating heat, following the group from behind.

Upon seeing the group staring back at him, Kax Ammer slapped his belly and let out a laugh. What a coincidence, he said. It looks like were all going in the same direction. Youre heading to a specific clan to join them, and I happen to be going to the same clan.

What clan are you going to join? Erin asked the red-haired man.

The same one as the rest of you, Kax said and beamed. Loud laughter rumbled out of his stomach. But dont ask Kax for the name because Kax dont know yet.

Erin nodded at Kax and slowly turned back towards Lindyss. Youre going to let him follow you like this?

Whats the harm? Lindyss asked and shrugged. I told him to do whatever he wanted while he was still alive, and if this is what the man wants to do, who am I to stop him? Hes not harming anyone.

Hasnt harmed anyone yet, Erin said, raising a finger. Theres something wrong with him. The way he speaks and acts, its weird.

Lindyss rolled her eyes. Oh, yes, because the people around me right now are the most normal, not-weird, nothing-wrong-with-their-heads people. God forbid a weirdo tags along.

No, Vur said and raised the jar up, bringing the mouth to his eye level. Stella gasped when liquid rushed towards the mouth, but instead of falling out, the liquid was stopped by an invisible barrier. It doesnt smell at all.

Break it open, Stella said, her right hand clenching as a grin appeared on her face.

Lets not break it, Tafel said, grabbing the jar and sliding it out of Vurs grip. At least, not now. She raised a finger to her lips before pointing and gesturing with her eyes at Gaegukja Yeol.

The flaming woman was standing next to the obsidian table with her hands on her hips. What do you think youre doing? I put you in charge of one thing, and this is what you do? Put some clothes on!

The flaming man, Deowi, looked around before grunting. He tensed his gaseous flesh, and a second later, crystalline armor grew out of and formed around his body, garbing him in an attire similar to Gaegukja Yeols. When he was done, he raised his head to meet his sisters gaze. Yeol, he said and grinned. His gaze landed on Vurs group. And youve successfully recruited some followers. He slid swung himself off the table and patted Gaegukja Yeols shoulder. Good work.

Yes, Gaegukja Yeol said. I did good work, but what work did you do?

Deowi stretched his arms forward before extending them towards the sky. I did the work of an explorer; I rested when I had time.

When you had time? Gaegukja Yeol asked, her expression darkening. Look at the recruitment center. Look at how many people there are over there, and now, look at how many there are over here.

Deowi shrugged. Whats the problem? If anyone was exceptional, youd have found them. Isnt that why you paid to be the administrator? He stepped to the side, ignoring Gaegukja Yeols fuming expression, and waved at Vurs group. Hello, hello. Welcome to the Extreme Heat Clan. My name is Deowi, an explorer of the clan. Youre the newbies Yeol gathered up? His flaming, red eyes twinkled. Do you want to spar?
