Chapter 55: A Member of the Order of Phoenix
Morning, November 4
Leaky Cauldron
Kai closed the doors to the pleasant atmosphere of the comfortable room and headed for the pub downstairs. When he looked ahead, he found Petyr staring at him.
"What is it?" Kai asked, his voice heavy and hoarse.
"Nothing, my lord," Petyr said, shaking his head. "But if you were to tell me what you saw in the prophecy, I will give you good counsel based on it."
Kai said nothing. He knew what he had seen, and that was enough for him. He didn’t want his mind to go back to that time, not now.
Kai passed by Petyr, and the character followed.
The pub downstairs was dark and shabby even in the morning.
Petyr had made him come down at the busiest hour, but even the heaviest Mana fluctuation failed to make Kai shudder this time. His face and eyes were already ashen from the scream still echoing in his ears. One wrong word, one wrong eye contact, one wrong intention, and someone would die.
"Master," Petyr said in Kai’s ears. "You must control yourself. Wizards seem to be sensitive to your bloodlust. Remember, we must solidify our deal. Just follow my lead."
Kai nodded. He knew that only Petyr’s presence was making the wizards look favorably at himself. With no Stats of his own, Petyr could either be a common muggle or a powerful wizard, it was impossible to tell. Kai definitely was a squib in their eyes, he had confirmed.
