7.39 - Tour of the Old World
Theo had never been certain what plans Xol'sa had for him. Perhaps he was just a wizard who was happy to have another person who could use magic around him. The man had been isolated for a while, even before he came to Broken Tusk. But the Alchemist doubted the wizard could have imagined the plans he had created to forge his own branch of magic based on his new cores.
With enough of the day left to get something done, Theo headed through the portal that sat ever-present in the town square. As was tradition, he entered the tower with caution and was unsurprised to see Xol'sa meeting with the de facto leader of the space elves on the second floor.
"If it wasn't the man we were just talking about," Kalan said, turning and flashing a smile at Theo.
"Looks like you're feeling a lot better," Theo said, striding into the room and assessing the mood. It was light. Xol'sa had a light smile playing across his face and a cup of tea in his hands. Kalan was in a relaxed posture, leaning against the back of a comfortable sofa.
"He seems to be fully recovered," Xol'sa said with a shrug. "As with the other elves from the first round, it's hard to believe that all our work finally paid off."
It really was difficult to believe, even though Theo was looking at the man who had fully recovered from being corrupted by the void. From the outset, it had felt like an impossible task to help them recover from their corruption. But between the healers and the potions, they were doing just fine.
"I was just updating Xol'sa here about our culture," Kalan said, a look of pride on his face. "Things are fuzzy for us, but we're eager to begin rebuilding."
“As long as you don't have plans to steal the shards again, everything should work out fine this time,” Theo said, "The shards have their guardian back, so I doubt it'll be easy."
"Oh, you don't have to tell me," Kalan said, waving the thought away. “I know I've learned my lesson, and I'm sure the others have as well.”
