Arcanum - Chapter 121

Chapter 121






"So so how does your ice box work??? . . . " Balefire eagerly asked me looking extremely excited .

" . . . . ummm . . . . so how your box works . . . . . If you have something called an icebox where the ice cools the box and the box maintains the temperature while slowing the inflow of heat . . . . . I think . " I answered him hoping my science was right . "Now imagine you have a system . . . . that circulates the air but in the process cools it down outside the cool zone and pushes the cold air into the cold zone . . . . . And as the air warms up . . . . get pushed around to get cool again . . . . . " I tried to explain to him how a fridge works with my very limited understanding .

"Hmmm that does sound interesting . . . . " He said thinking to himself, "Why don't you become an inventor???!!! You have a great mind like me and my son! . . . . maybe you can study and experiment with me . " He smiled .

"Thanks . . . . . But I'm not very smart . . . . honestly . " I confessed to him .

"You have the mind of an inventor, if you ever change your mind my door is always open . " He smiled .

"I'll keep that in mind . " I smiled to him .

"So where are you younglings from??? . . . . A new adventuring group perhaps?? . . . . " He asked trying to keep up with us .

"Yeah . . . . . You can say that . . . . . " Helen replied with a smile .

"Umm . . . . . Mr . Balefire . . . . . Would you like a helping hand??? . . . " Daisy asked with a smile .

"If you don't mind . . . " He answered her with a giant smile .

"Not at all . " Daisy knelt down in front of him .

"Thank you young one, what was your name again?? . . . . " Balefire asked getting up on Daisy's back sitting on her shoulder .

"Daisy . " She replied standing up and began walking with again with us .

"No family name? . . . . " He asked curiously .

"Nope… . I don't know my real parents… . . " She replied to him .





"Ohhh . . . . . So your armour and weapons . . . . . Are you perhaps a cleric?? . . . . Or paladin?? . . . . " he asked curiously avoiding the parents topic

"Yes . . . . I'm a follower of Serra . " Daisy answered him with a smile .

"Could you do an old widower a favour?? . . . "He asked quietly with a smile .

"Certainly what would you like??? . . . " Daisy asked with a giant smile .

"My wife . . . . . She wasn't a follower of Serra . . . . . But could you perhaps you could pray for Serra to look over her? . . . . " He asked Daisy politely slightly hesitant .


"Certainly Serra loves all regardless of faith . " Daisy smiled looking around . "Be right back guys . . . . " Daisy said putting down Balefire .

"Something wrong??? . . . " Jay asked looking a little worried watching Daisy walk off into a quiet alleyway .

"I think she went to make a prayer? . . . . . " I answered him a little unsure myself .

Daisy proceeded to place her maul on the floor and kneeling beside it . Pulling something out of her chest she clutched it with both hands looking down into the floor . She began mouthing something as her tattoos began to glow golden, radiating a warm golden yellow glow sending a sense of warmth and comfort into me .

"Excuse me . . . . . " Balefire quietly whispered as he turned around pulling out a tissue wiping his own tears .

After a minute of two Daisy stood up dusted off her knees and walked back to us . "Your wife is doing well . " Daisy smiled picking up balefire like a kid and placing him on her shoulders .

"Thank you . . . . " Balefire smiled wiping away the last trace of tears from his eyes and blowing his nose .

We all began walking back to the entrance of the city in silence with a smile on our faces feeling the effects of Daisy's prayer .

I couldn't help but wonder if her God actually responded to her . . . . is faith tangible here??? . . . . Can someone truly feel the effects of their God? . . . .

"Welcome welcome!!!!" professor Annabelle greeted us as we arrived . "Ohhh and you bought a friend????!!!" she greeted balefire with a smile, holding out a hand to shake .





"Mr Balefire . " He introduced himself shaking Professor Annabelle's hand .

"Wait? . . . . The Balefire? . . . " She asked shaking his hand asking curiously .

"Yup Sooty Balefire is what people mostly call me . " He answered with a proud smile .

"Great Heavens . . . . . It's such an honour to meet such an esteemed inventor!!!" Professor Annabelle replied practically gushing over him, "I saw your war machines in action personally . . . . . You saved countless lives with your inventions!" She added excitedly shaking his hand .

"Just a citizen doing his duty . " Balefire smiled .

"By the way . . . . the War wasn't long ago . . . . . But everything seems so . . . . normal . . " I asked quietly to everyone .

"Alaystin the untouchable was able to divert their forms of transportation into one continent . " Jay answered .

"Yes and that is where the last few years of the war was fought giving our world a fighting chance, now that all continents could focus their efforts all into one front . " Helen interrupted .

"Yes but even then it was a brutal struggle . . . huge casualties and sacrifices were made . " Jay added .

"Yes many stories of great heroism and great tragedy arose during this era . " Helen said .

"So how did it end??? . . . . " I asked curiously .

"Apparently their leader annoyed at the progress stepped foot into our world . . . . . His size was so immense, even I was able to see him and I was in another continent!!!!!" Jay explained sounding extremely astonished .

"Yes . . . . . And that is when the four legendary sorcerers enacted an unknown spell of cataclysmic proportions . . . . . Banishing the enemy leader and its forces . . . . . The sheer amount of Arcanum released from that spell was even felt in the fey . . . . . " Helen added sounding excited .

"Yup all I saw was a huge flash and suddenly he was no longer there… . . everyone who was there said they saw a bright flash and awoke back in their home continents . . . but after many years of search the four legendary Sorcerers were nowhere to be seen and the continent remains unreachable devastated by all kinds of disastrous effects I guess the aftermath form the spell… . " Jay shrugged concluding the story .

"Yes and because most the Elven houses decided to flee . . . . causing some tension between Elves and the races of this world . . . . . " Helen explained .





"Is there a reason why Elves fled????" I asked in shock .

"We aren't sure ourselves . . . but we were there when all the cities activated their teleportation runes phasing out cities into the fey . " Grace explained .

"From there the Elves monitored the war effort . . . . . Cowering away in their cities . . . . " Grace angrily added .

"It's okay . . . . everything came out okay!!!" Daisy said with a giant smile .

"Yeah . . . " I hesitantly agreed .

"Yeah . . . . it's understandable what they your Elves royals decided . . . . or whoever decided to retreat to the fey . " Jay smiled .

"Still . . . . Elves should have still fought side by side with the races of earth . . . " Grace said still sounding irritated .

"By the way . . . . I also remember hearing there were two others from my plane . . . know anything about them????? I assume one us Paul . . . . . " I asked curiously .

"Oh . . . . That would be Delphine . . . . . Also another sorcerer of renowned status . . . . . She is famous for her divination magic and necromancy . . . . . And vanished after some serious crimes against the crown . . . . . " Helen answered .

"Yeah . . . . rumours has it she's so adept in divination magic . . . . she's able to see a few seconds in the future at all time . . . . . That's why she has evaded capture and no one has seen her for years . . . . . " Jay answered .

"What crime did she commit????" I asked I gasped in shock .

"She was in some plot to overthrow the royal family . . . but despite her adept divination magic her plan was thwarted by Sir August the Grand Sorcerer of Xoria . . . " Jay answered .

°How was he able to defeat someone who can see the future ???? . . . . . " I asked in disbelief .

"No one knows . . . but all we know Sir August was able to defeat her in a duel . " Grace answered .

"Wow I wonder what he's like . . . " I wondered in awe .

"Well like Paul he's rumoured to be adept in several schools of magic . . . . as well as being one of Paul previous mentors . . . . " Jay answered .

"Woah . . . . I'm sure Paul would know a lot about him . . . . . " I replied in awe .

"By the way, how do you know so much??? . . . " grace asked looking suspiciously at jay .

"Everyone knew . . . . . It was a grand event . . . . everyone thought Paul would study under him and then become a king's guard or at least be the next successor of Sir August" Jay answered .

"Wow . . . there's so much I don't know about him . . . . . " I replied .

" . . . Yeah he's grown so quickly in the short time he's been here . . . . . But his practice room was both ingenious and kinda cheating" Jay answered .

"Yah . . . the training time we've had there has definitely given us a distinct advantage . . . . . " Grace agreed .

"Especially having Scarlet and Ashley as personal mentors!!!!" Daisy yelled in happiness .

"I'm still a little worried to be honest . . . . . " I confessed .

"To best honest . . . . . You probably do have the hardest opponent of all of us . . . . " Jay answered .

"Yeah . . . . . No doubt she's been taught from such a young age . . . . especially from lady . . . " Helen answered pausing trying to think of a name .

"Lady Irene . " Grace added .

"Who is that??? I asked .

"Grand master of the sorceress council for King Edward Calista's Father . " Grace answered .

"Separate to Atlantis??? I asked curiously .

"Yup separate entity . . . " Jay answered .

"Ohh I see . . . . " I replied wondering what Paul's life was like living here . . . . . .
