Chapter 76: Origins & Fate
[Dimensional Step 12 → Dimensional Step 13]
Orodan’s travel through the dimensional boundary and out the other side brought him to Eversong Plaza, specifically, to the second floor of the tavern at the foot of Mount Castarian.
A man, dark hair, angry-looking eyebrows turned downwards in what appeared to be a perpetual frown, was cleaning a few blood-slicked tools on the table. And behind this man was a corpse on a chair, recently tortured to death.
“Aeglos Argon. Enjoy torturing prisoners for fun, do you?” Orodan asked, appearing behind the Elite pyromancer.
The man was more than a little shocked at the sudden intrusion and took at least two seconds to react appropriately. Rather telling of his lack of close combat experience, and something that would get him killed in a fight against any decent martial specialist who got close enough. Personally, Orodan thought Surena Argon could beat her evil brother in a fight rather easily if she wanted to.
Still, Orodan was always happy to test his spellcraft against another mage toe-to-toe.
A Draconic Fireball came to life, blazing hot in the palm of his hand. The other participant in this magical duel nearly stumbled backwards in fright, unused to being overpowered by anyone else in pyromancy. Orodan’s hand went forth and his fireball made contact with Aeglos’s spell in close-quarters, and with the contact, came a fierce battle of wills to determine who would hold control over the flames.
One which Orodan had won before realizing it was meant to be a contest.
