Chapter 105: Old Ones, Brienne Stormborn, and Life Halt! (I)
Evening, June 18
Wavebreaker
Kai woke up ready to kill.
There was scarcely any night when he didn’t dream. Nightmares, that’s the word one should use in his case. Incompressible and incoherent scenes of killing, killing, and killing. A shout of power now and then, and that’s it. These were his dreams.
Kai had made his deal with it.
He stood up, yawned, and stretched himself. He was lying on the bed, he suddenly realized.
"Master, freshen up," a honeyed voice entered his ringing ears. "I have ordered dinner."
Kai grunted a reply and threw himself off the bed with a flick of his tail.
With Parseltongue making him incapable of normal speech, Kai had opted to keep the Golduck’s transformation in an activated mode permanently for now. Not only did it let him communicate swiftly and discreetly, but it also let him work on his Telepathy Proficiency, which had no other way to increase.
The newly gained Elementary Telepathy had risen to 5% already.
After some 15 minutes, by the grace of a cold shower, Kai’s eyes flashed brightly in the spacious room.
