“What did I d this time?” Adam asked as the Chief headed ihe Gak’s spare room, with Jogak bringing them some snacks.
“I am sure you uand why I am here, Adam.”
“Is it about the on?”
“Yes.”
Adam rubbed his forehead. “Are you worried why I made the ons?”
“Yes, among other things. How did you find our Jarot’s weakness?”
“I took a guess,” Adam replied. “I… I am somewhat familiar with most abilities which people might possess. When I heard that he was resistant to many types of damage, I khat there was one which was hard to resist, even for Iyrmen.”
“So it was just a guess?”
“Not quite. It’s difficult for me to expin, because…” Adam wasn’t sure that he uood the abilities through a system. “I just know a few things about that sort of thing.”
“We have never heard of anyone like you, who has the ability to cast the spells you know, to hold so many abilities from so many different paths of life.”
“I work within the system, but without as many barriers,” Adam replied, hoping that would expin enough without getting too ih with it.
“Is it true you made the on to kill Jarot?”
“No,” Adam said. “I made it to beat him easier, sure, but it was mostly because that something like that would be useful. Jurot already has fire, Jaygak has a more powerful bde, Kitool has her staff, Dunes his sword, which I really should have made to deal holy damage, and my own… well, we’ll be a well banced party, don’t you think?”
Iromin bowed his head.
“That isn’t to say I wouldn’t use it to kill Jarot,” Adam said, digging himself into a hole. “If, for whatever reason, Jarot does something unfivable, and we e to blows, I may rely on Phantom, among other abilities, to take him out.”
“That is arming news,” Iromin said.
“The truth,” Adam replied. “I’d kill almost ah that axe. You know, other than Aunt, Lanarot, and so on.”
“Would you use it against me?” the Chief asked.
“No,” Adam said. “I’d need something more powerful to go against you, Chief.”
The Chief nodded. “I hope that you do not use this on against our people.”
“I have no iion to do so,” Adam said. “I hope to remain in good graces with the Iyr until I’m far beyoh.”
“If there is a time we regret allowing you to use our shrihen it will be a time you will regret betraying our trust.”
Adam smiled. “I hope that if I do end up against you, that you’ll give me the be of the doubt. I don’t think I will ever go against the Iyr in my right mind, so please save me from whatever it is which has made me go against you.”
Iromin nodded. “How did you mao create a magical on with a greater entment so quickly?”
Adam shrugged his shoulders. “I assume ten days is quick, then?” Adam chuckled. “Beats me. I do whatever you see me do. I grab some gems, I expend Mana, sometimes I’ll ask for Fate to help me out, and then out es a on in three days, or ten, apparently.”
“Your way of enting is simir to ours, but there are some differences,” he admitted. “However, even reatest enters ot ent as quickly as you.”
“Sorry,” Adam replied, chug. “Holy, I’m not sure what I do. I just do what you see me do and out es an ented on.”
“Were all the entments you created on your on purposeful? The charges, the healing, the extra damage.”
“Yes,” Adam said.
“So you did not leave it to Fate?”
“It is the best possible on I could have created because of Fate, but all the entments were purposeful,” Adam admitted. “Though, I really should have added another entment, I think I probably could have, but for a first try at a greater entment, it retty good.”
“We still ot uand what you are,” Iromin said.
“A friend,” Adam said. “Well, a Nephew.” He winked.
Iromin nodded. “Do you think you create another on with a greater entment so quickly?”
“Maybe,” Adam replied. “If it’s a simpler entment, probably a little quicker? Not sure. I’d have to try it.”
“Will you be able to create a on with a legendary status?” Iromin asked.
‘ I?’
[If it is a simple entment.]
“A very simple one, yes.”
Iromin remained silent for a long while, before he bowed his head. “I will leave you to your evening, Adam.”
“Thanks,” Adam said. “And thanks for ing to me to talk to me. I’m sure I’m very stressful for you and the reat Elders.”
“You know?”
“Yes,” Adam said.
“And you tio stress us?”
Adam smiled.
“Is everything fine?” Sonarot asked, watg the Chief leave.
“I think so,” Adam gnced over to her. “I think I was a little too forward with that on, but I think he uands where I’m ing from.”
“It was quite arming,” Sonarot said.
“Well, I’m sorry for w everyone.”
“I do not think you meant anything by it,” she said, brushing his hair.
“Will you save me if the Chief tries to kill me?” Adam asked, half joking.
“Yes,” she said.
Adam raised his brows. “Really?”
“Yes. There must be some reason the Chief is killing you, but I will wish to hear why. If you are at fault, I must be the oo kill you.”
Adam stared at her, seeing her smile at him so sweetly. “Well, at least it’ll be you.”

“I ot accept this,” Nirot said, gring at Adam during breakfast. “Let us fight right now!”
“If Aunt Sonarot says we , sure,” Adam said, throwing the woman a look.
Sonarot sighed. “Okay. You ot hurt her too much.”
“I will not let him beat me, aunt.” Nirot gred at Adam, w why her aunt thought he was going to win. She was an Iyrman, and a member of the Rot family.
Adam went to the house.
“Where are you running off to?” Nirot asked.
“I was getting my armour,” Adam replied, simply.
Nirot smirked smugly at the Half Elf. “Armour? Okay.”
Adam stared at her. ‘Looks like I o teach her a lesson.’ “Fine, I won’t use any armour.” Adam pulled up his axe.
“Hmph!” Nirot grabbed her axe and shield, ready to fight.
“I will warn you, I’ve never once lost while my sister has been watg,” Adam said, holding out his axe casually in front of him. ‘I don’t o take it too seriously.’
Lanarot cpped her hands as she stared at the pair of them.

Adam, who was naked without his armour, rushed forward. He focused on taking out Nirot quickly and effitly, since his Aunt had asked him not to hurt the girl too much. His axe smmed against Nirot’s, who had brought her axe up to try and deflect the blow, for some reason not using her shield, and she screamed, passing out the moment.
Adam looked down at the girl, who had fallen on her side.

“I fot how powerful this axe was,” Adam said, sheepishly.

“Hey, stop embarrassing yourself,” Adam called, his voice full of healing magic.
Nirot gasped as she awoke, her eyes staring at the sky. “What?” She wasn’t sure what happened. She couldn’t recall what had happehough slowly the memories flowed back.
The young woman hopped onto her feet, axe in hand. She grit her teeth, turning red as she charged towards Adam.
“Enough,” Sonarot shouted, quickly stepping frabbing the girl’s wrist. “You lost, Nirot.”
“That axe of his is magical!”
“Even without it, you would lose,” Sonarot said.
“Fine,” Adam said. “Since you won’t accept, I’ll use whatever on that you want. A dagger, spear, my own fists?”
“I will face you without you using any magical ons!” Nirot growled. “I do not care which on you use.”
Adam nodded. “Since I’m a member of the Rot family, I need a shield and axe.”
Sonarot smiled, going off to grab one of each from the wall of the Rot house. “Please, be nice.”
“Hold on,” Adam said.

“Are you feelier now?” Adam asked.
“Yes,” Nirot replied.
“You’re at full strength?”
“Yes,” she said, raising her axe.
Battle OrderD20 + 1 = 2 (1)
This time Nirot was quiove, as she grit her teeth, turned red, and charged towards the Half Elf. Her axe cttered against Adam’s shield, who ducked.

D20 + 6 = 7 (1)D20 + 6 = 26 (20)Critical hit!2D6 + 2D3 + 4 = 15 (2, 3)(3, 3)Damage resisted.8 damage!
Nirot hadn’t expected the sed blow, and quickly found herself unscious as Adam struck her across the side of her head with the shaft of his axe, catg her in his arms.
“I am sorry, Adam,” Sonarot said. “She is strong willed.”
“Pretty sure she was like that st time too,” Adam said, chug.
Sonarot rubbed the girl’s forehead. “Will you heal her?”
“I was just about to,” Adam said, stepping back. “I thought it would be best if she awoke in your arms.”
Mana: 6 -> 4Spell: Healing Word2D3 + 3 = 5 (1, 1)
“Wake up,” Adam called, healing the girl.
‘First I critically miss and hit in the same attack, and then I roll minimum for my healing?’ Adam wondered if he was lucky or unlucky.
Nirot grunted as Adam healed her, ing to in her aunt’s arms. “Huh?” She looked up at the pair of them, blinking. She shook her head, quickly waking up. “You are an Expert?”
“Yep,” Adam said.
She narrowed her eyes. “I definitely will not accept an Elf.”
“I’m only half an Elf,” Adam said, frowning.
It didn’t really matter to Adam, who walked over to his sister and picked her up as she cpped and squealed.
“Did you see me win?” He kissed her cheek and held her close to his chest as she giggled and babbled.
Nirot wondered how Adam had mao get to the position he could be so tender with her cousin. ‘I will find out your secrets, Half Elf!’ She tried to ighe fact he was an Expert and a fine addition to the Rot family.
