29 Mind Palace (2/2)
Dorian nodded, and asked ”Why are you helping me? I want a real answer, because no ones gives this much help without a purpose, whatever their race is.”
Jun smiled, although Dorian couldn't see it, and said ”I do indeed have a reason. The two you killed, they were part of the 7th Tribe. Although we aren't enemies, we don't really have a friendly relationship either, the only reason we stayed together was that we are trapped here.”
Jun continued with a somber tone ”I helped you because I think you could help us…”
Dorian interrupted him ”Do I really look like this kind of person? I just killed two people of your race without asking any question. I did worse things up in the city.”

Jun replied cheekily ”Exactly. I don't need a fragile sissy who wants to save the world and promote world peace, I need someone who stops at nothing to get the job done.”
Dorian shook his head and replied ”Unfortunately for you, I am changing my ways.”
Jun said ”What I am asking you first is to help me escape this mountain.”
Dorian heard the notification of a new side mission appearing, which was to save the two Sadunites. He accepted it and said ”It shouldn't be too difficult. All I have to do is getting you out of the city and you can walk down the mountain.”
Jun shook his head and said ”We could have done that on our own. But it isn't that simple, because we have been bound to this mountain by a powerful spell.”
Dorian asked ”How am I supposed to help you?” Jun shrugged and replied ”It has something to do with the Heart of the Mountain. We don't really know what we should do so we keep feeding it. Your human friends were supposed to be the sacrifice, but now the two bastards from the 7th Tribe are the sacrifices.”
Dorian nodded and said ”I will see what I can do. Now, let me out, after I learn Mind Magic I want to see how you deal with the sacrifice, and I will return to the city. I will later return here to help you.”
Jun said ”It's not like we really have a choice… If you want to leave this space, all you have to do is to will it.”
Dorian did as he was told, and he indeed returned to his body. He looked at the other Sadunite, whom he learned was called Jok'ii, and said ”I wish to learn telekinesis. Can you help me?”
Jok'ii nodded and replied ”When you were in Jun's head, you must have seen the house he had. This was a mental construct. What you will try to do is to use your flame to gather Mind energy and transform it into a basic construct. The better your construct, the stronger your mind power will be.”
Dorian frowned and asked ”What does the flame's size have to do with Mind Magic?” Jok'ii replied ”The bigger your Mind Shape is, the faster you will be able to gather Mind energy.”
Dorian nodded and asked ”How do I enter my mind?” Jok'ii then taught him quickly how to do it, and Dorian started constructing his own house. But it was taking too long, he felt like he would only get the foundations in several hours, so he tried to think how to accelerate the process.
Then it came to him. Meditation.
He exited his Mind and this time tried to enter his Mind while meditating, and started constructing his own Mind Palace as they called it, even though it more looked like a ruined beggar's house than anything else…
Dorian was overjoyed to see that the speed at which he gathered Mind energy multiplied by manifold and he began constructing his house.
He did not know how much time went by when he finally finished the foundations. He opened his eyes and saw that the two Sadunites were sleeping.
Dorian wanted to wake them up at first, but considering how kind they had been to him he decided to let them sleep. So, he opened his status.
