59 Chapter 59 - Warmachine Turns (2/2)

”They're glowing, cold air, is the metal fitted with an enchantment of cold?”

”Try freezing! Once we get the High Tier Ice Gem in from Almanac's lab both the gloves and Morningstar will be coated in magical ice. The slightest touch could freeze a limb, a solid hit would freeze three men. I can't wait until it's done, even if it's going to be the most expensive item in Tariak it'll make a HUGE difference in the battle.”

As Kenji continued to talk excitedly, Jack nodded along and allows the words to flow over him. The boy's sheer enthusiasm of nice in itself, and his endless energy that reminded Jack of his years shut away cleaning tombs, praying in the dark and singing to gods that did not care.

”Kenji please,” Jack said, finally forced to get a word in, ”keep some of this for when we get to the tavern. As a Templar I was never allowed to drink, and I'm interested in finding out if it tastes as delicious as the soldiers have been saying. Oh - you wouldn't mind if I invited them would you?”

Kenji flashes white teeth, and pulled back his fiery hair.

The newcomers will appreciate it too I think, those adventures that came so far to help us deserve to be thanked properly.”

”Agreed, but we'll need much of the drink if it really tastes as good as they say. Food too, since a siege is unlikely with the starving nature of our enemy I think it should be ok to eat like kings.”

”Like kings!” Kenji laughed as he clapped Jack on the shoulder and led him back to the Golden Goose Guild.

And while arrows stopped being fletched, walls cease to be repaired as fast and soldiers steel gleamed a little less - the smiles made it all worth it.

Mead, women, entertainment and food was rolled out as if for royalty. That night those who would fight filled themselves with a year's worth of revelarly while those who could not continued their labour through the darkest of night and into the early morning.

When Jack awoke amongst his men, he discovered the hellish pain of a hangover first. And his wrists clasped in shackles second.
