Chapter 8: Phiam

Jay arrives at the outskirts of Phiam the next day.

Jay: "I better find something here."

Jay walks through a large cemetery.

Jay: "(cocky) Nothing anywhere close to what I've done."

Jay enters the front gate Phiam.

Jay: "This almost feels like Osar."

Jay enters the marketplace.

Jay: "My daggers do need a nice sharpening."

Jay walks to a small blacksmith shop.

Blacksmith: "What's a kid doing in a shop like this?"

Jay puts four daggers on the table.

Jay: "I just need a good sharpening."

Blacksmith: "This metal is pretty cheap..."

Jay: "So?"

The blacksmith puts a dragon scale on the counter.

Blacksmith: "Pay extra and you won't have to deal with dull blades again."

Jay places the more of his money on the table.

Jay: "Better not be lying."

Blacksmith: "My friend is getting his scales ready to temper with your blades in a bit. They'll be ready in a day or two."

The blacksmith takes the daggers to a furnace.

Jay: "I'll be back tomorrow to check."

Jay walks outside.

Jay: "(sighing) I'll see if I can find the inn and book a room."

Jay wanders around Phiam to take in the sights.

Jay: "Really does feel like Osar."

In the Maknanian Palace...

Drake: "He is strengthening his weapons. Smart choice, but he'll need something better in order to be able to save himself."

Drake calls for a soldier.

Drake: "Send one of our largest Impurities to Phiam! Make it fast as well!"

Soldier: "Yes my lord!"

Back to Jay...

Jay: "Here we go."

Jay steps into the inn.

Innkeeper: "Room for one?"

Jay tosses the rest of the money on the counter.

Jay: "Yes."

Jay pauses for a moment.

Jay: "I walked past a cemetery on my way here. Who was buried there?"

Innkeeper: "(sadly) Those who fell when the Maknanians took over."

Jay: "(in head) I will find a way to murder that son of a bitch."

Jay walks to his room.

Jay: "(yawning) I've got time to kill, I'll take a nap."

Jay jumps into the bed with his face in a pillow.

Jay: "(muffled) I'll get up in a bit."

Jay falls asleep, but back in Makna.

Drake: "I have heard that Kros is the laziest of this ragtag group against Lucifer."

A rift opens behind Drake.

Drake: "Speak of the devil."

Lucifer steps out of the rift.

Lucifer: "How goes your search for the dragon god blood?"

Drake: "I haven't found them yet, but I have the perfect pawn to get it."

Drake tells Lucifer his plan to use Jay.

Lucifer: "A tight situation he can't get out of and he is traveling with Jake, who has more than likely met the gods."

Drake: "It's only a matter of time until Kros meets up with them and take the blood and Ayleaus."

Lucifer: "I have always thought that you were the only one to match my level of planning. Boris got cocky and Alcionus relied too much on Agony."

Lucifer sits down on a nearby chair.

Lucifer: "I hope you don't mind me staying here in Drakos for a while."

Drake: "Not at all. I will of course be civil to the one to cleanse Reith of life."

The next day in Phiam...

Jay: "(stretching) That was a good sleep."

Jay leaves the inn after breakfast.

Jay: "I'll go to the shop in a bit."

Jay looks for any loose change.

Jay: "(depressed) I have never known how it feels to be broke until now."

Jay walks around for an hour and only found around 10 gold.

Jay: "Guess I'll head to the shop."

Jay begins to walk to the shop until he hears an explosion.

Jay: "Oh fuck..."

Jay rushes to the direction of the sound.

Citizens: "(panicking) What's that thing?!"

Jay finds a towering Impurity looking down on him with smaller Impurities following.

Jay: "I can fight without my daggers."

Jay pulls out a revolver.

Jay: "Explosive Bullet."

Jay pulls the trigger that explodes, killing several Impurities.

Jay: "You two are next."

Jay gets behind the two remaining small Impurities rushing for him and bashes their skulls together.

Jay: "This one will be a problem."

The large Impurity had smashed several buildings as Jay took down the small fry.

Jay: "I need to strike the legs to lower mobility."

Jay sends an electro bullet at the legs, but the thing is unaffected.

Jay: "Well shit..."

Jay attempts to get close, but the thing keeps tossing debris at him.

Jay: "Bullets have no effect and I can't get close without Jade."

Jay hears a voice in the distance.

Blacksmith: "How are you fighting that thing?!"

Jay: "With skill. Do you have my daggers ready?"

Blacksmith: "Right here."

The blacksmith holds up four dark gray daggers.

Jay: "Toss them!"

Blacksmith: "You won't catch them all!"

Jay: "Just do it!"

The blacksmith tosses the daggers.

Jay: "Watch and learn."

Jay's eyes glow and the daggers stop falling midair.

Blacksmith: "What the hell?;"

Jay puts two in his hands and keeps two in the air.

Jay: "Now you're going down you oversized piece of shit!"

The daggers fly past the rubble and stabs the eyes.

Jay: "Let's finish in style."

Jay pulls the daggers out and slices the head into evenly sized rings.

Jay: "(sighing) That felt too easy."

Blacksmith: "(shocked) A-Amazing!"

Jay: "Point me to the nearest city."

The blacksmith points northeast.

Blacksmith: "Keep going that way to Nylsio."

Jay walks in the direction.

Jay: "Thanks..."
