" Empress, sorry I failed.", Daavi said with her head bowed.
Hollow Witch circled around her. She was shaking, she tried to make sure she could see Hollow Witch.
"How many were you able to grow for my army", Hollow ask Daavi.
"Five... five hundred, sorry Empress. I tried to do it quietly as possible.", Daavi pleaded.
"Do you think I care about staying below ground. I'm not Grand Witch Claire le Fer.
I just needed you to build me an army. I didn't care what it took, as long as it can crush the coven.", Hollow said and clinched her fist. The clouds darkened, lighting lightened part of the cloud.
" I'm sure the widow can help us.... you, set up somewhere else. " Daavi said looking at the the opposite side, after the look she got when she included herself.
" I may be under her protection but I don't intend to stay there. I'll find another way", Hollow said she turned and simultaneously lighting struck and she was gone.
Meanwhile Ryan was been treated like a hero. Rubix Cube were given their reward money. The other guilds on the quest were angry.
Brim were embarrassed, they tried to convince Rubix Cube to join Brim.
"You solve the quest on your own, I feel bad taking the reward.", Lawhey said looking at his share.
"I was just at the right place,at the right time", Ryan said trying to be humble.
Shoto was quite, he did not say a word. He refused to take his share of the reward. Ryan convinced him and Lawhey who seemed to agree with him.
"I guess we can focus on the circus now",Lawhey said as he tapped Ryan and Shoto on the back.
Ryan took out the Status Ring Helton gave him. He put it on and the Status screen appears.
"Where did you get a Status Ring", Shoto pulled the Ring off Ryans finger.
"From a friend, give it back. I want to check if I've improved.", Ryan said trying to take back his ring. Shoto held it up high from Ryans reach.
"Check if you've improved, why?", Ryan was curious.
"I traveled through space, I was at a place then, in another place in a blink of an eye", Ryan explained.
"why not use a Status Glass", Lawhey said handing Ryan his Status Glass.
"The Glass is not accurate", Ryan replied.
After Ryan explained him space jump, he was also curious. He wanted to know if his master and friend was coming. Or it was something altogether.
He gave Ryan back the Ring.
Ryan put the ring on and the screen appeared.
