"You have twenty four Ascendant Runes??" Primal Alexander shouted with a bellyful of pleasant surprise.
"Eighteen now. But yes, twenty four in a month. Consider that one rune a free appetizer! If you want the rest of the runes, pay up!" Jessica Sands gave Primal Alexander a broad smile as she shamelessly extorted him.
"What do you think, great grandma? Ten years for a complete set of twenty four Ascendant Runes? You will be the strongest being in the known universe and you can even beat up that dul dul guy if you want to! I know you're extremely irked by his greater strength… Right? Hee hee!" Jessica Sands went on.
"You youngsters are all conmen. Fine! Ten years for a complete set! No more than that! I want to enjoy my retirement after that!" Elise Sands glowered at Jessica Sands for a moment before bursting into a wide smile when Jessica handed her a psionic device.
"Eighteen runes. Six more when I am done." Jessica Sands said and winked conspiratorially at Elliot.
