Chapter 249: Dropping some jaws
"Okay, kid, now let's show him what you can do," Ambraz said. "Just ignore those stupid stairs and jump to the platform he's on."
Irwin hesitated, but Brazardian remained quiet. Hoping he wasn't going to get problems, Irwin ran forward, building kinetic energy, before releasing it at the last jump. With a dull explosion, he shot forward, rapidly bridging the thirty or forty-foot gap. He managed to remain on his feet as he stood before the enormous World Anvil.
Before he could wonder what he should do, Brazardian's shape rippled, and he shrunk down to something roughly the size Ambraz was when he worked on him.
"I can tell that you brought cards," Brazardian grunted. "Place a quartz one on my back, and I'll tell you how I want you to reforge it."
Irwin quickly took out his stack, most meant for either himself or his friends and family, and riffled through it. When he reached the Quartz ones, Brazardion made a clicking sound.
"That one, the waterdrop," he said.
Irwin stared at the card, then put the rest back. He'd bought it because it reminded him of his first real portal experience and because it had a lot of potential. From a powerful utility card for fresh water to one that could be turned into a blood card to take control over weaker cards, it was useful.
"Reforge it along the third-paths lateral-" Brazardion began.
"Hum it for him," Ambraz said. "He's like Nor."
Third-paths what? Irwin thought. At the same time he tried to recall who Nor was. Most likely one of Ambraz's siblings.
There was a moment of silence, and then Brazardian began humming a simple tune.
"Put the card on his back. He'll do what I normally do if needed," Ambraz said.
