Chapter 9: The baron’s rank
"You look far better now."
As soon as Hex left his room, he heard someone say. He looked up and saw a beautiful lady waiting for him.
"Thank you, ahm Miss Hestia. Yes, I really needed a long bath."
Hex had left the temple with his new master and came right to the castle. He had still been covered in burnt marks and dirt.
"Bah," she spat in mock disgust, "you make me sound old and stiff. Call me Hestia."
Hex nodded. He remembered the baron's instructions. "I suppose you are here to bring me to the training ground or should I first help you?"
Hestia raised a brow. "Training ground huh? I guess we can call it that. Follow me."
'Why did she look so amused? Did I say something strange?'
Hex caught up with Hestia and asked, " Ahm, Hestia? The baron told Wallen to let me train with Vic and Greg. Do you know where they might be?"
"Oh. Now I understand. Don't worry. They are already...training." Hex noticed her emerald eyes light up once again, but he had no idea why.
He decided to see for himself what amused her. So he just walked with her, following her lead.
