Chapter Begins:
Afternoon, June 17
Wavebreaker
The ship would drop them at the port of the New Bark Town on the morning of June 20.
Golduck-Kai was sitting on a chair opposite Meg, his blue tail flailing non-stop left and right.
Their eyes were bloodshot, and dark shades under their eyes marked their lack of sleep. For 3 days, none of them had left the room and none of them had had a dream.
3 days.
The time was too much to just talk.
They could cover a lot of things in three days, but not an entire life. Meg indeed had a lot to talk about. Over 80 years of her life as an active Contestant, and around 30 years of ideal life on the 1st Set.
The first thing Kai did after booking a luxurious room on the ship was to make her tell everything about all the worlds she had been to. That alone had taken the first two days to cover. Then Kai had made her tell about all the Primordial Tower and all the floors she had been to. That lasted for the better part of the third day.
At last, Kai had asked her to tell him everything about the Temples.
There, he had met his first roadblock.
All the Priests and the Priestess have a seal placed in their mind that forbids them to talk about the Temple's secrets, Meg had told him. Only the High Priest had the authority to break it. Without it gone, the moment I think of telling even a trifle thing, I forget about them.
As the High Priest was a 5th-Set Contestant, Kai had to give up on the plan of breaking the seal on Meg's memories for the foreseeable future.
He had instead pointed out the ritual to her then.
The words she had spoken, and the names she had uttered before talking to the High Priest, Kai wanted to know the significance of all of them.
That is not a secret, Meg had explained. Almost everyone on the upper floors knows about these sacrificing rituals. Only on the lower floors, generally below the 3rd Set, the knowledge about them is controlled and monitored.
That's why the moment you had spoken Hastur in the Primordial Tower, the Temple had gotten to know about it. In the Random Worlds, taking the name doesn't stir any old powers, though. So, they sent me to spy on you. Everything is possible with Mission Credits and a suitable sacrifice.
Selena's face had flashed by Kai's memories, hearing these words.
She had warned him about speaking or discussing anything about the Temples.
However, her warnings had seemed more of a panic, than something with substance behind them. That's why, Kai had ignored those warnings. He didn't regret it, but if he had known that the High Priest would just outright decide to kill him, then he would have been a touch more prudent about it.
