“That’s our Rex,” Kealy snickered, shaking her head, “Pulling off the impossible.”“I don’t understand,” Rex shrugged, seeing Kiri was still flicking her eyes between the tattoo and his face. “I was there for five days in your memory, did some fishing, hunted a few werebeasts, and a mountain troll and then got hit on the back of the skull from a hill knoll. After I successfully completed a solo hunt of a wool-coated tembo, elder Mwindaji gave me this.” He lifted his forearm to show the small tattoo.Hearing of Rex’s achievements shocked Kiri even further, “You did all of that in only five days?” Then her brows knitted in confusion, “I’m not sure how five memory days went by in the space of just over one hour of real-time, something isn’t right.”“Should’ve brought Grub,” the man sullenly whined, “Sounds like Grub could have gotten skin mark hunting of those beasties. Knowing wonky leg, they would have been the big beasties too!”“A fully grown tembo is a master hunter’s prey, who sugg

Smarluuten turned to face Dilo, one side of his lips curling back, revealing even more teeth, “Your nest mate does not smell your origins?”“Well no. We must use words to pass that sort of information on, and he had not,” Dilo growled, her words raspier than usual from the shock still coursing through her.“That was something I had yet to share with anyone,” Rex sighed, reaching out to put a hand on Dilo’s. “Not the way I wanted anyone to find out, but what Smarluuten says is true, while in my realm, I was soul bonded with a dragon. His name was Fafnir.”“You share blood with the son of the eldest?” Smarluuten breathed, his small eyes widening, one of his hands trembling slightly. “We must pay homage to the high bloods. I will make all arrangements.”“No!” Rex said, getting to his feet sharply, the action startling both Smarluuten and Dilo. “I cannot have anyone else know about this unless I wish to have them told.”“But…” Smarluuten started to hiss, almost pleading, “As a lesser, I m

Seeing Carey ready for a fight, Brend and his retinue all drew their weapons.“Stop you fool!” Carey said, rounding on Brend with a snarl, “This many people exchanging blows will be too loud and will draw the guard's attention. If I am reported killing any of the lizard’s guards, the godking will have ALL our heads for disturbing the peace accord.”“I didn’t think a master assassin would know fear,” Dilo asked with a smirk, raising an eyebrow.“Careful with your words young experiment,” Carey warned, turning back to Dilo and waggling a finger, grinning slightly. “You will not always be inside of the lizard’s protection.”“Then you should know that the moment she leaves this town, I will have her back,” Rex said, meeting Carey’s glare without fear.“I have been told you are a strange one, but do not doubt for a second that I could gut you like a fish if I wanted,” Carey said, patting his daggers confidently.“Oh my,” Kiri said, smirking, “Is that the scent of fear I can smell on the ai

Entering through the portal after Dilo and Kiri, Rex’s eyes widened. He had known he could open quite an impressive magical space, but this seemed even more than he thought he had done.“You’ve outdone yourself,” Dilo growled with a broad smile, looking around the large, flat open space. “Last time I was in here, it barely contained that cottage over there.” She was pointing to a small log cabin Rex had placed inside just before putting Dilo in here for the first time.“I’ve opened more space than I expected,” Rex said, stretching through the burst of chest pain he felt from the effort.“I do not think this much space will be needed, I can only imagine the strain it will put on you to keep it maintained,” Kiri said, placing a hand on Rex’s arm, and leaning into him.“Seems ok for now,” Rex shrugged. He could only feel the slightest pinch in his chest at the present.“Yes, and the more we bring in here, the more strain it will put on you. That and keeping the zone temperate enough to g

With only an hour left before their arranged time to be at Smarluuten’s mansion, Rex and his group readied themselves for the upcoming festivities.Cassius had loaned Rex a light cotton white shirt, covering that was a short sleeve shiny black leather coat with gold buttons down the front. He wore black slacks with a spare pair of Cassius’s tanned-coloured leather ankle boots. Karinna had made alterations to the outfit so it fit Rex’s frame snugly.“What is this made from?” Rex asked, feeling the smooth leather coat.“To the east, there are swamp lands surrounding a large number of stone crypts. No one knows who is buried or why they are there, but there is a wide range of creatures that reside in the swamp. One such animal is a black deathclaw wolf. Its hide can be tanned, and what your wearing is the result,” Cassius said, aligning his own red vest, which was similar in appearance to the one Rex was wearing but had a breast watch dangling from a chain that was hooked through the cor

“Introduce a humble one to the companions who are deemed worthy enough to travel with someone such as yourself,” Smarluuten hissed to Rex, bowing slightly.“This is Dilo, Kealy, Grub, Venya, Karinna, Cassius and…” Rex said, smiling while pointing to each companion that had fanned out behind him, each member bowing their head as Rex pointed them out, getting cut off before the last member.“Kiri,” Smarluuten growled, his smile fading, and his red eyes narrowed to slits.“My, it has been quite some time,” Kiri smirked, dipping her head, slightly slanted to one side so she could keep an eye on the lizard.“Not long enough,” Smarluuten hissed, baring his teeth.“You asked for my entire nest to be present for this, Kiri is a part of my nest,” Rex said, stepping between the two, raising one eyebrow at Smarluuten.“Wait,” Smarluuten hissed, cocking his head slightly, “She agreed to serve under you?”“Gladly,” Kiri said before Rex could reply, a broad smile on her lips.“Without bloodshed? Or

“I’m guessing by the looks on your faces, something isn’t right?” Kealy asked, frowning at seeing the expressions on Rex, Kiri and Smarluuten’s faces.“What is it?” Venya asked, her face paling slightly when she noticed the serious tone in the air.“How many doorways are there?” Cassius asked Smarluuten, going into defensive mode.“Three. The one you came through, the servant's entrance through there,” Smarluuten said, pointing with a claw toward an archway-shaped set of fern fronds, “The last is through there, but that entrance is barred. The only other way in would be through the roof.”“Judging by the sound we heard, someone seems to be taking that route,” Kiri said.“Well seeing as our party has been interrupted earlier than the schedule,” Cassius began, “I think we should move Karinna away from here. I would be a much better combatant knowing she was safe.”“I think Kealy, Venya and Grub should go with her,” Dilo said, raising his hand to interrupt Grub’s incoming protest, “Even

Parrying another heavy blow, Rex cursed under his breath. Between the sheer size and weight of the Messer sword mixed with the momentum behind the lieutenant’s attacks, he was constantly damaging the blade he currently possessed, even in the low light, he was already seeing nicks in the blade’s edge. What was more annoying was how easily the slender attacker seemed to be able to swing the blade with such force.After stepping to the side to dodge a downward chop, he growled as he had to bring his sword up again to parry the blade because his attacker changed their stance and was able to bring the blade in a backward sweep in the direction he had moved to, a lot quicker than he anticipated.“You aren’t holding back now, are you?” the silky voice asked, changing the position of their feet and stepping forward for a lunging thrust attack toward Rex’s stomach.Frowning with frustration, Rex stepped into the attack and using his palm, battered the blade on the flat edge, pushing it off tar

The moment Rex allowed Karinna to join him, she immediately started to mutter under her breath with her hands outstretched, slowly walking towards the young, downed woman.“What are you doing?” Cassius asked, taking a step forward to attempt to get a better view as to what Karinna was doing.“You need to stay back, the magic woven into this woman is highly unstable,” Karinna snapped, shooting a sharp glance toward Cassius, stopping him in his tracks.Raising his hands defensively, Cassius, along with Grug, retreated a few paces back and away from Karinna and the downed woman.“Grub be thinking how such small girlie make all buggies dead,” Grub asked, squinting suspiciously toward the young woman.“This poor girl has been subjected to a horrific amount of opposing magic. I am surprised she has not exploded already and killed us all, bringing this entire nest down in the process,” Karinna said, pausing her spell-casting to check the young woman’s pulse. “Before she can be moved, I must

Rex, Cassius, Hussin and Grub were on full alert as they moved through the archway and entered into the well-lit, large cavern. The first thing Rex noticed was the amount of crazak bodies strewn around. He estimated there were at least thirty here, all looking like they had died while trying to fend off an attacker.“Be alert of your surroundings,” Cassius said after leaning over and pressing his hand onto the shredded chitin of a downed crazak that was closest to the archway. “It’s still warm, I would say the fight happened only 15 minutes ago.”“These quilix died in fighting circles,” Hussin said, surveying the carnage. “It is our most used tactic for our primarily non-combat nest members. Whatever did this used raw power to overcome all present.”“To slay this many buggies, thing must be strong,” Grub said, kneeling down next to another crazak and running his hand over its limbs, tracing the deep gouges in its tough chitin with his finger. “This buggy was ripped in pieces.

Godking Darius had never slept much in his old life, this habit leaked through to his current reincarnation. This worked well to keep his entourage of close advisors on their feet, as well as not allowing anyone to catch him unawares, which was in his top three of most despised things.He was currently perusing through his latest report papers, lounging back on his large high-backed throne chair, just sitting slightly offset to his large black obsidian desk. He always sat facing the doorway allowing him a good view of anyone who entered into his chambers. Feeling a pulse of energy approaching, he smiled evilly. Darius knew this weasel-featured advisor well. Turning slightly back to his table, he stashed the papers he was reading and turned back to face the door, interlocking his fingers across his chest and waited. A few minutes later, a soft knock on the door could be heard.“Enter,” Darius said, allowing a slight sliver of magic into his voice. He had learnt from his earliest time s

During their trip from the throne room, Paool questioned Rex about his incredible ability to heal wounds.After seeming somewhat satisfied with Rex’s vague explanation about being bonded with an ancient creature and sharing some of its traits, Paool then asked about how he was hiding the presence of other beings, explaining he could sense multiple scents emanating from him.“Why does smart buggy not be asking Grub about him?” Grub suddenly blurted out, appearing next to Paool, startling the crazak.“Uh, this one does not know what to ask of you delicious-smelling one,” Paool replied after a few seconds, his name for Grub eliciting a chuckle from Cassius.Before Grub was able to respond, Paool stopped suddenly, his action not being noticed by the others for another two steps.“Everything ok Paool?” Rex asked, instinctively resting his hand on the pommel of his sword while his eyes darted between both ends of the tunnel they currently traversed.“Yes, blessed one. This humble one was ju

Chapter 104Thirty minutes later, and with great effort, Rex was able to be upright without nausea or a pounding headache and was now seated at a small table in the cavernous room he was placed in.“Uh, I feel worse than ever,” Rex said, reaching out and picking up a strange blood-red coloured food object he guessed was fruit from a stone bowl in the centre of the table he was sitting at, Grub to his left and Cassius to his right. Both men, he could see, had a worried expression poorly hidden in their facial features. Turning the food over in his fingers, he could not attribute the shape nor colour to any fruit he had seen, during his time in Oak, nor even during his time in Dracoterrum and this realm.Clearing his throat slightly before speaking, Cassius broke the silence that came after Rex’s declaration, saying while also looking at the food Rex was studying, “They call it a “Smuur”, whatever that means. I have not been able to ascertain a translation to our tongue, but I believe i

“Now now Dorian,” the younger, gentler female voice said in an almost sing-song tone before Rex could reply, “I remember, gods quite a long time ago now, where a man once told me, ‘A man’s secrets are his very being. The ability to strip a man’s secrets and lay him bare is a travesty to his core.’ With that in mind, how could you allow any of us to assault his mind and take away that which doesn’t belong to us?”“Sounds like Tillian has found herself a young interest,” the older woman’s voice said, almost mockingly.“I can admit, unlike some of us, that this young…I am sorry, Rex was it?” the voice from Tillian said.“Yes, my name is Rex,” Rex nodded, finally being able to have a voice amongst the seemingly ending squabbles of beings unknown to him.“I had forgotten if you classed yourself as an adult or child still,” Tillian’s voice said softly. “I know so little about your race I’m afraid. I doubt even Gillart could shed any light on this.”“Hullans would be the closest to his race

Doing his best to keep his heart rate and thoughts on the correct path, Rex took a step back out of instinct, causing the hive queen to stop one step above where he stood and raise the two eyebrows on the left side of her face.“Do you not intend on agreeing to our deal?” she asked, her voice going flat.“Uh, sorry. Old habit to give myself room for a fight if needed,” Rex said, a bead of sweat trickling down his forehead as he realised he had also unknowingly taken an unarmed fighting stance.“Hold out your hand,” the hive queen said, smirking seeing Rex relax from his fighting stance in seconds.Doing as requested, but keeping his muscles taut and ready to react at a moment's notice, the hive queen strode forward, striking the tip of his thumb with one of her claw tips so fast Rex did not even see the queen move her hand. After feeling the pinch, he looked at his thumb, seeing the blood now slowly trickling out from the tiny wound.“Uh, that’s strange,” Rex said, still staring curio

“Balrog!?” Rex spluttered, his mind whirling. “But Fafnir said she was…”“A demon?” The hive queen said, her voice almost like a low growl sending a tingling sensation down Rex’s spine.“Uh, yeah,” Rex sighed, hoping his admission did not seal his fate earlier than expected, “I believed it because he was a dragon and she didn’t look anything like the crazaks that attacked earlier on my journey, or now I’ve seen you, doesn’t resemble you either.”“Do all humans look the same?” The queen asked, raising two eyebrows over two eyes on the left side of her face while looking down at Rex.“Well, no,” Rex replied. Then it dawned on him, “Same race, look differently. I must admit I’m now curious about how that happens. Our looks differ due to quite a lot of things like race, gender, and heritage of the parents, is that the same for you?”“No,” the queen replied with a quirk to the edges of her mouth. “You are tempting and intelligent, quite the tantalising mix indeed. Our looks depend on our l

Taalook had only led the group a few hundred metres toward a large archway leading into a dimly lit tunnel when Rex stopped two paces from the doorway. “What’s this?” Rex asked, tracing his eyes over the archway, one eyebrow raised. “What’s what Rex?” Cassius asked, halting beside Rex and staring, confused at the arched doorway. “There is another film of magic over this doorway. Another shield?” Rex asked turning to face Taalook and Hussin. “You can see the zone magics?” Hussin asked, his small beady eyes growing a little larger in surprise. “Zone magics?” Cassius asked, snapping to look at the archway once more, squinting heavily before sighing and turning to Rex. “I don’t know how you do it. Is it something you can teach?” “The queen has the zetas set zones that allow certain types into certain zones, preventing those from going into places they shouldn’t be,” Taalook boomed. “Hussin can tell you about it once we meet the queen, and if you are allowed to continue living afterwa
