Chapter 106 - (106) Night King (1/2)

Blaze had to take a minute to catch his breath, ”Damnit, Geth, what have you been feeding her?”

Geth couldn't help but chuckle this time, but he was also waiting for his friend's answer. He had known Blaze's wife since high school.

The two had kept in touch over the years. She invited him to a new years party after she'd gotten married.

Geth and Blaze had hit it off instantly and became great friends over time. Game night became a regular thing for them for a while.

”Pebbles is doing well. She is looking after our nieces and nephews in a Dungeon south of here.”

Zolis nodded. She knew her friend always prioritized the children.

”Is the rest of the family with her?”

Blaze seemed to hesitate a bit, ”Actually... We haven't found her youngest brother. The kid's parents died to Direwolves not long after we arrived.”

The three were silent for a moment. The weight of young children losing their parents was unbearable.

The silence was broken by the sound of clanking and approaching footsteps.

Harris and Farris were carrying a large crate between them. It sounded as if many items lay inside.

The other party members began to filter in, each carrying a crate or a handful of glowing objects. Geth noted Alise waving a long black sceptre in the air as if she were showing him.

He smiled and waved her over. She walked over proudly and stood on her toes to kiss his lips.

Blaze raised one of his eyebrows up questioningly and glanced over to Zolis. She just laughed at the man as she laced her fingers into one of the younger woman's hands.

Both of Blaze's eyebrows shot up at that gesture. For once, he seemed at a loss for words.

A loud thumping sound distracted all of them. It was as if a giant were approaching.

The group turned to see Swole sauntering forward from between the gravestones. He carried a massive block of metal on his back, and it seemed like he was struggling.

The moment he spotted Geth, he dropped the thing to the ground, causing the earth to shake. Geth just looked at the man incredulously.

He walked up to his friend and handed him one of the green Stamina potions he had made.

”You know... you could have just asked me to look instead of bringing that all the way here, right?” He asked the out-of-breath man.

Swole looked at him and opened his mouth to say something. No words came out, and he just smacked himself in the forehead.

The short man accepted the potion and gulped it down. His flustered appearance was instantly replaced by a calm but energetic aura.

Geth laughed at his friend and then moved to inspect the slab of metal.
