Chapter 226 - Spectrum (Part 2) (1/2)

Nix waited while the group made their way back to them. During that time he tried gating and stowing the orbs away in his inventory, neither one of those could be done.

/Inferno: Nix: Semmie and Ronnie, come and see me immediately. At the tunnel intersections, go through the far-right and then the middle, middle. The last pa.s.sageway leads to the cavern where we are.

/Inferno: Semmi: Another breach opened up a few minutes ago, as soon as we finish them we'll be on our way.

[Whisper Nix to Vooni] Need some advice if you have the time.

[Whisper Vooni to Nix] Go ahead.

[Whisper Nix to Vooni] Deidra Mtui gave me a few drops of her blood. I understand that it has many uses, what are the most significant?

[Whisper Vooni to Nix] If it was me I'd consume all of it. Dragon blood enhances everything, including existing blood in a descendant like me. If I had more than a few drops, I would consume no more than five and save the rest for spirit companions.

[Whisper Nix to Vooni] Thanks. Hey... How's Fajii doing?

[Whisper Vooni to Nix] She's great, smart and hard-working. She'll be a big force in my Fire team.

[Whisper Nix to Vooni] Say hi to everyone.

When the rest of the Hunter team arrived Nix had them wait. ”We have a few things to discuss, then we are taking a trip.”

Ronnie and Sem arrived a few minutes later. The dark-skinned archer seemed more serious than usual.

”From this moment forward, no one repeats anything discussed here without asking me. Not even with other officers.” Nix held out his hand and displayed the three 'marbles' he pulled out of his friends.

Ronnie took one from his hand and held it between her fingers. ”What is it?”

”I think it called Spectrum, but I don't know for sure. My friends thought it was more important than their lives. Try stowing it in your inventory.”

”Holy c.r.a.p.” Ronnie must have attempted it, her face showed her surprise. ”It has to be hand-carried?”

Nix nodded, ”not only that, you can't gate or use any kind of magic while carrying it. By the same token, no magical spells will affect you, that includes both attacks and healing.”

Semmi put her hand out and held it in her palm. ”I don't sense any kind of energy. What's the big deal?”

”My friend said it was the culmination of hundreds of years of work. Take these three orbs to the Gemini Temple and store them in the altar.”

Semmi put out her hand for the rest of the orbs. ”We going to walk back to Haven?”

”I'm going to open a Breach. Hopefully, you can step through it with the orbs. ” Nix didn't even want to consider what would happen if they couldn't.

”I'll take any scales you have if I'm going back anyway. ” The blond officer was also holding all of the dragon scales. ”Anything else?”

Nix nodded and turned to Ronnie. ”The Great Libraries share books and knowledge?”

”Yes. I can access anything that other Great Libraries have. That would be the hud version of their books.”

”What about research? We need to find out about a few things, but it has to be done without alerting anyone that we are searching.”

Ronnie offered him a smile. ”All searches in my library are hidden. Not only is the searcher anonymous, but so are the topics. I can research anything and no one will know.”

”Find out anything you can about Spectrum, Everspire, Fallen and Dragonblood.” Nix gestured toward his group. ”We are going to jump into the Tainted Breach.”

Semmi swore under her breath. ”I want to go on an adventure Nix!”

Nix patted her on the back. ”We have to get you out of here. I believe the orbs are tracked. The Tainted will keep coming through the Breaches as long as we have them.”
