Owe her what? Your soul?

No. Just some information. I guess she thinks the merchant knows.

“But your power may have.” She looked to the inspector for confirmation.

”I’m just guessing here. Did it?”

He pulled out a tiny paintbrush and with his strokes created an incredibly realistic likeness (in color). 

Up until now, they'd seen the sphere as cloudy. The sphere that the man drew contained the face of a boy shining through (for though he couldn't be younger than 20, a boy he could not but be called). He was sleeping peacefully, shaggy blond hair splayed as if over a pillow. His facial features faintly-- very faintly-- resembled Shoe's. 

@Through The Living Glass

BAHAHA

*clears throat* Sorry.

Shoe gave Bacon a weird look. What?

I KNOW

I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BUT DECIDED AGAINST IT

grr fine

Clearly you have something else in mind 

Was he there for the whole "this is a soul" part?

idk

Shoe wondered who the man was drawing.

"Hey, Shoe," Tam chimed in, "That kind of looks like you."

Shoe looked at the painting again and suddenly felt very, very uneasy.

Happy now? XD

Beosta stepped through the portal. “Is everything okay?”

Ista stared at him like he was an idiot. Because he was. “I was referring to Erif and the inspector.”

Ista brought as much hunger onto the dream eater attacking Zanitar as possible. Which was a lot.

@xinoehp512

  "Why would he owe Erif a meeting? Or the inspector? Erif didn't deal with the destroyer. Nothing against you Erif, but Onyx and others like him have done a lot of things to a lot of people. Involving yourself with someone doesn't mean you owe them favors. The people like him typically have... ambiguous morals."

The Great Wizard appeared to be being placed into a magically sealed coffin while unconscious and tied in magical ropes, watched carefully by the General, the Valiant One, and the Silent Hero. Well, the Silent Hero was watching everyone, including TP, but he seemed to pay extra attention to the unconscious Wizard.

Well that's not good.

"Of course! He was a great man, my predecessor. A pity he vanished as he did." The Brave Adventurer frowned. "Was there some secret as to his identity?"

"Somewhat. It seems my Author missed some clues, but a different Author clued him in. You might have already known it."

[Uh oh,] said TP to Hacob. [Should we do something about that?]

[We probably ought to. But I did make a deal...] His voice dropped off and he Narrated his voice into TP's mind. I'll support you from afar, but I can't directly interfere.

Beosta stepped through the portal. “Is everything okay?”

"Dandy!" Tam chirped.

Shoe still wouldn't look at Beosta.

She frowned. When was the last time they’d talked? 

She stepped toward the man. “Where’s Zeddikar’s outpost?” 

The man tilted his head. “Interesting question. Very knowledgeable of you.”

Never.

Just a deal I made with the General. Maybe this might help...

Far away, the Ghanderflaffle Empire was beginning to fall. Fast.

"Who's Zeddikar?" asked Bacon.

Beosta shrugged. 

“Zeddikar has many enemies,” the man said. “Let’s leave it at that. Now, I know where he can be found, but that information is incredibly privileged. You will have to give me your secrets. Your past.” 

Something thin and scaly wound its way around Beosta’s spine. 

“My… my past.” She twisted her fingers in her hair.

”Yes.”

Gail snapped out of her reverie. “Oh. Oh— yes. Yes, I’d love to.” 

“Only the pertinent parts.” He gave Beosta a deep glance. “If you know what I mean.” 

She looked away. “I… I suppose,” she whispered.

Bacon was very intrigued by this. More backstory? Yes, please!

“I won’t make you tell it. I happen to be a Weaver. If you’ll step into my wagon, I’ll just pull it right out of your head.” 

That was something, at least. “Is there… anything else I can give you?” 

“Nope,” he said cheerfully.
