In a universe where rebirth is as unavoidable as death, to be ripped away from the circle of life and forced to live in limbo is a fate that no soul would wish ever to befall itself. Yet, that is the story of Raxyas. His is one of the many souls con...
Morthol finally stops, after several days of travel. Raxyas and Bazren descend, making their way to the Halgorth's gates. Raxyas feels a slight pain in his head. Very faint.

Raxyas: Shut up. Not now...
He manages to send the curse away by sheer will. It seemed his new power gave him greater agency over it. Still, he knew there would be a price to pay... Eventually.
Bazren: Did you say anything, Raxyas?
Raxyas: No, nothing at all. Now, look Bazren! This is what your average citadel looks like.
The citadel was quite lively. It was probably tournament day in the arena. Halgorth was famous for holding such events, given that it was practically the capital of fighters.

Bazren: Well... It's better than Slynvha. But the people don't really seem all that joyful to be here...
Raxyas: A joyful undead is a rare sight. One day, I'll have to ask master Qu what his secret is...
Bazren: Oh yeah?
She lets out a short laugh.
Bazren: How innocent of you to assume he has a single secret only!
They are stopped by a guard.
Guard: What is your business in the citadel of Halgorth?
Bazren cuts Raxyas off before he can speak.
Bazren: We come from Karghna. I am Bazren, one of master Qu's redeemers. Here is my weapon, to prove it.
She summons her flail. The guard seemed convinced.
Guard: Pink star... You may enter. Go straight to the cathedral and make your presence announced to the master.
Bazren: Of course.
The duo walk towards the cathedral. Nobody in the citadel paid them any mind.
Raxyas: Why would you do that? I could've just shown them my weapon.
Bazren: Because I haven't forgotten what you've told me... These people treated you terribly after your return last time, did they not? No point in going through that again. We can let them know you're here after they know you are innocent.
Raxyas: I see. Thanks, Bazren.
Bazren: Don't worry about it... I just don't want us to be the center of attention, that's all.
As they arrive at the cathedral, Bazren introduces the both of them. The guards let them inside. As per usual, Za was sitting on his throne. He was talking with one of his redeemers.
