24 A Shot at the Dark pt2 (2/2)

”Sylvie set up a tent, Tina go and gather those leader from before”

”Yes Lord” came the chorused reply as they both went about their given task

Sylvie had set up a large tent somehow but it was unexpected that there would be something like this in the girl's storage, Draig sat inside and across from him were those former leaders of the factions with Goeki and Zura as the spokespeople.

”You understand that this game of ours has become serious now that he as enlisted the help of the Blood Knight and the Reaper, the likelihood of us having such an opportunity like today is nearly zero” stated Draig causing those assembled to nod

”What do you propose we do” asked Goeki somewhat subdued after seeing Draig injure Zarra

”Simple we will continue to use our numbers but the key to victory is taking out the Reaper first, with that in mind I will hand out these Skill stones for you to pass to your respective people. They contain skills from the rogue class and assassin type classes. Don't worry about the class restriction it will work” explained Draig as he had Sylvie pass out several bags that happened to contain the Skill stones.

The group looked at Draig subserviently, feeling a subconscious form of subjugation at the ease he handled things like this.

Zura contained something odd in the way this youth stared at Draig, it was something obscene crazy almost as the youth received the bag and disappeared.

This had not escaped the eyes of Draig who was gaining his own suspicions about the youth known as Zura.

”What do you think we should do if we are ambushed” asked Goeki nervously

”Simple we will fight” stated Draig simply

”Of course” responded Goeki as he stood and bowed before taking his leave pausing in mid step as he realized what he had done.

'Why did I bow' wondered Goeki as he went to hand out the skill stones

Draig smirked as he watched them leave as an alluring light cast over his eyes.
