‘Oh, was that something that could be passed on to others?’

‘Right, that is a skill that was obtained through Divine Grace, so it could also be passed on. I performed a similar action with you when I bestowed you with Creation Magic.’

Gnoss advised me telepathically.


“Lord although it might just be a small gift, I think it can be useful for you. I’m tired now and require some rest.”

Noradriana immediately went to sleep because she was quite exhausted.

“When your mother wakes up tell her that I appreciate her gift.”

The dragons nodded silently in return.

“Let’s go Valenor, it’s finally time to take care of something which I have postponed for too long already. Let’s head back to the observatory first.”

After returning to the palace I contacted Alpeon.

‘Begin clearing the passage we blocked to the Catacombs!’

‘Yes Lord’

After four days of hard work by the Antilliens, the passage was once again open.

“Everyone else stay here, Valenor you follow me.”

My walking along the tunnel with Valenor was like a throwback down memory lane.

“Is this where Johra first came from?”

“Right, I was nothing but a poor little skeleton, just trying to survive in a harsh world.”

We kept walking as I reminisced about all my adventures as a skeleton soldier; noticing the sulfur gases which had saved me on more than one occasion.

“Was that where Johra fell down?”

“I nodded, looking at a pile of skeletons which could very well have been my comrades at some point.

“Oh right, and what about the Tyrant’s mountain of treasure? Will we go there? Oh wait, nevermind, don’t tell me I want to find it myself!”

Valenor was sniffing around like an excited child on her first adventure.

“Valenor you look like a puppy right now.”

“Quiet you, I’m trying to focus on smelling the treasure.”

Surprisingly she actually managed to find the treasure room simply by using her nose.

“What is this pile of scrap metal?”

Valenor was truly disappointed with the quality of the items collected by the Tyrant.

“Sure, but at that time this was truly valuable to penniless guy like me.”

“Let’s keep going!”

I moved the rock that was blocking the hole which was half hidden behind the pile of treasure. It had been locked down with Jenna’s webs, but that hardly stopped me with my current abilities. Simply by approaching with my hand, the web disintegrated into dust.

“I remember this place being darker… was it just me that changed?’”

“It’s a pretty nice place here right? Johra, where exactly was it that you were born?”

“Hmm… I wasn’t so much born here, rather it was the first time I opened my eyes.”

While conversing with Valenor we passed by some gargoyles which I had no idea still remained. They were pulverised when Valenor chose to step on them.
