Knight of Iron

Nah, the fans would riot at such a horrible misspelling of Ahsoka.

Maybe Dalinar recreated that bond? Nale tells Szeth that all bonds he had were severed upon his death.

Wait--NAMELESS!! I get back to CPR on...whoever we were doing CPR on.

I got a set of kitchen knives! And some pots and pans! And a Subway gift card! And some more clothes! And a suitcase! (none of this is joking) I think as a new 18-year-old, my parents are hinting something.

I mean, the money's not free. But it pays for itself!

Precisely! Too many people forget to do that. And... ah, Hen, please don't touch the body... oh! A shockable rhythm. It's charging now. When it's done, would you like to press the shock button? Please say "stand clear" before doing so, or we'll have two patients here.

Alright, I'll do so. I'm actually trained in CPR. It looks like they have no normal breathing or pulse, so could you go and call 911 for me and locate an AED? The sooner the better. *proceeds to perform chest compressions*

I would nominate myself for least nominated Sharder, but I don't think I will.

I think they were talking about those who feel sexual attraction. do you need me to call 911? or if you're tired I can take over CPR.

As Zanidar spoke, Orpheus repeated back to Owlson the words. Tʜᴀᴛ ʙᴇᴀʀ ᴡᴀs ᴘᴏssᴇssᴇᴅ ʙʏ ᴀ ʙᴇɪɴɢ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴜɴᴛᴏ ᴍʏsᴇʟғ. I ᴀᴍ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴇɴᴄᴇᴅ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʀᴇᴀʟᴍ ᴛʜᴀɴ ᴍʏ ᴏᴡɴ, ᴀs ᴍʏ ᴋɪɴᴅ ᴛᴇɴᴅs ᴛᴏ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ɪɴᴛᴇʀғᴇʀɪɴɢ ᴀɴᴅ ᴍᴀᴋɪɴɢ Cᴏɴᴛʀᴀᴄᴛs, sʜᴏᴜʟᴅ ᴛʜᴇ Cᴏɴᴛʀᴀᴄᴛ ʙᴇ ʙᴇɴᴇғɪᴄɪᴀʟ ᴛᴏ ᴜs. Wow, leave it to Owlson to get more from Zanidar in two minutes than Orpheus had gotten from him in all the time they had been together.

The voice paused for a moment, and Orpheus wondered how he would respond. I ᴀᴍ ɴᴏᴛ ᴀs ᴋɴᴏᴡʟᴇᴅɢᴇᴀʙʟᴇ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇsᴇ ʀᴇᴀʟᴍs ᴀs ᴏᴛʜᴇʀs ᴏғ ᴍʏ ᴛʏᴘᴇ, sᴏ ғᴏʀɢɪᴠᴇ ᴍᴇ, he said into Orpheus's mind, As ғᴏʀ ᴀɴ Iɴᴛᴇɴᴛ, I ᴀᴍ ᴀɴ Iɴᴛᴇʀᴍɪɴɢʟɪɴɢ ᴏғ Iɴᴛᴇɴᴛs, sɪᴍɪʟᴀʀ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ sᴀᴘɪᴇɴᴛ sᴘᴇᴄɪᴇs ᴏғ ᴛʜɪs ᴡᴏʀʟᴅ.

Tʜɪs ᴏɴᴇ ᴀᴍᴜsᴇs ᴍᴇ. Hᴇ ɪs ᴠᴇʀʏ ɪɴғʟᴜᴇɴᴄᴇᴅ ʙʏ ʜɪs Iᴅᴇɪ. What, do you want to answer his questions? To Orpheus's great surprise, Zanidar responded affirmatively. Wʜʏ ɴᴏᴛ? Orpheus looked at Owlson and nodded. "He says he'll consider answering a few questions."

@Bearer of all agonies for Best Rank Titles, lol!

"I mean, she has a horse," Orpheus pointed out, emerging out of the shade of the trees back onto the road.

Gᴏ ᴀʜᴇᴀᴅ, Dᴀʀᴋᴇsᴛ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ Nɪɢʜᴛ. "When I was very young, I entered into what is called a Contract with a demon who hadn't given himself up to one yet. There were rumors--there were always rumors of a few demons in the surrounding areas who would accept Contracts if they saw the potential for something they wanted in their futures. I believe they have some degree of foresight, but they refuse to divulge anything. "I am bound to him, he resides in some other realm, I presume, but he lives in this one through me. He needs me to go on this quest, and he won't tell me why. Otherwise, I would not be here. "As for powers, I refuse to use them and never have until now, so I wouldn't know anything about them. It is for personal reasons that I don't, though I do know that usually people around me get a little unsettled at first. That might just be due to his presence."

"I'll tell you, Owlson, if you can promise to try and help me. To understand it. And not to tell a soul about this without my permission."

"No," Orpheus whispered, frightened, "I'm not possessed. Only Contracted. All we do together is to fulfill the Contract."

"I... I don't have any powers. The powers are not mine. They are..." Orpheus drew a breath and remained silent. He couldn't say it. He couldn't share his secret. He was so close.

@Trutharchivist "Alright, that was strange," Orpheus said. "What do you first want to know?"
