Chapter 64 Important Meetings (1/2)

The black-cloaked figure turned down the dark alley and sprinted along the city wall, both of the warehouses he had targeted were already in flames.He slowed to a walk and checked his backtrail, suddenly the sound of footsteps echoed in the quiet evening, he had been found.

”He's up ahead Vera, close on him!”The one who spoke was holding her side while she ran, a bad fall from the rooftop had injured her.

”Damn it Tula, be more careful!”

Vera stopped at the wall, their prey was slowly scaling it.She pulled her pistol and pointed it at the arsonist.”Bastard ass!Making me run all this way.”She was tempted to shoot him, but she had strict orders to bring him in.A quick death would mean his escape to his binding point.

”My side hurts!”Tula finally caught up to her twin sister.That's when she saw the man on the wall.”Got you at last dumbass!”

”Do you?”The dark figure showed no sign of fear, he smiled when they approached the bottom of the rope.

[Fire Trap]

A shaped charge exploded and tore through the legs of the twins putting them both down.Tula had been hunched over holding her side, so the trap had killed her.Vera was not so lucky, one of her legs was gone from the knee down and the other was burnt beyond use.

”F*ck...” Vera picked up the pistol she had dropped and pointed it toward the wall but the man had disappeared.She looked down at her legs before cursing loudly and pointing the pistol at herself.

A half-hour later Nix returned to the house in the Sea World.He had emptied one of the spare rooms and brought in shelves and a large workbench. Trap making was part of the hunting craft.Nix hadn't paid much attention to it in the past, but recently he discovered that it was quite handy. He changed his clothes and returned to Glory Island.

Glory had undergone extensive changes.A stone wall completely enclosed most of the city, only the dock area had been left unwalled, but there was a heavily guarded gated entrance. The dock shops and Inns had become thriving businesses but slowly a main street was developing as new shops continued to open.Semmi had some experience with city planning, so she was taking care of everything.

He walked over to the Kindled Spirit and tiptoed up the stairs to his room.It was 0300 and just about everyone was sleeping.After undressing he slid into bed, magically the person who had been there when he left was now two people.Apparently Sila had made a late-night visit and had been welcomed by Hyai.Nix felt that it was worth noting that both of Sila's wrists were still tied to the bedpost.

”Damn it... The hell did I miss?”He moved closer to his favorite innkeeper and closed his tired eyes.

Nix smiled in his sleep a few hours later, feeling a soft hand encircle his shaft before it was enclosed in the warm wetness of a mouth.

Propping his head upon the pillow he watched while Hyai's head slowly bobbed up and down.”Is this how the Kindled Spirit keeps its guests returning?”

Hyai let him slide out of her mouth before moving up to straddle his waist.”Complaining?”She was still holding him in her hand, with a soft moan she slid onto him.

*************

A while later Nix woke up for the second time. He noticed the time and gently shook Hyai awake.”It's morning hun, maybe you can get the help to open some mornings?”

Hyai opened one eye, she often woke up next to Nix so it came as no surprise.”Hmm... I like opening the Inn for breakfast.”She turned her face into his neck, kissing his skin.”You smell like smoke again Nix.”

He kept his face expressionless.”Do I?”

Hyai shrugged, ”I love the smell of smoke.”

Nix nodded. ”Me too.”

She rolled out of bed and headed toward the dresser.”Are you still taking me to Jenza today?”

Yep, sometime before dinner.”Nix watched as she casually opened a drawer in his dresser and took out a change of work clothes.She kept a lot of stuff in his room for moments like this.He watched with interest as the curvy innkeeper dressed.Hyai wasn't beautiful in the traditional sense, it was her warmth that was attractive.

”Going to want something to eat Nix?”She finished putting on her uniform, well aware that her companion was watching her.

”Yes please, but not for a few hours.Junie and I are heading to Neptia for a meeting this afternoon, so maybe I'll grab brunch after I get up.”

”Okay hun, I'll put something aside for you.”Hyai waved and left the room quietly.

/Guildchat: Jun Li: Hey Nix, let's meet up at your houseboat before we head to Neptia.

/Guildchat: Nix: Sure, was just heading there anyway.

Nix gated to the Sea-World.The warm sun of late-morning was very pleasant.He took the outside ladder up to the third level of his houseboat, the fact that he had the biggest boat in their marina still made him smile.A familiar face brought him up short.

”Hello, Nix!”Fajii smiled sweetly at him and stood up in the hot tub.Without any hesitation, she embraced him tightly.”I really missed you!”
