The next day during Lex’s early morning workout Mary informed him that Helen had been completely healed. However, since she had woken up she had not spoken with anyone and had asked to be left alone. She had been sitting in the lawn behind the Inn, looking forlorn and lost in thought. Since she wanted to be left alone Lex did not disturb her, but instructed Mary to have a Saturn cake sent to her when she was feeling better. Lex did not know if there were other things on her mind, but coming so close to…-

Having made up his mind, Lex first checked up on his guests to see how they were doing. Hugo was still in his room, stabilizing his new realm. Marlo was still undergoing a process of healing and being corroded by his own blood, while Helen was almost completely cured. The only reason Helen hadn’t been cured by now, in fact, was because she’d had the poison in her system so long it had seeped into her brain and affected it, healing which was a slow and delicate process. Still, she’d be out soon. Lex…

Lex immediately returned to the Inn and excitedly asked Mary, “What happened? Where did all this MP come from? Who was it?” The tiny tologram appeared before, sparkling as she glittered and sparkled while gliding through the air, clearly infected by Lex’s emotions. “It was Alexander! He bought the zombie cores and left Helen in our care, saying that he’d be back soon.” Lex was slightly disappointed that Alexander had left, but he couldn’t care at this point. Finally he had a decent amount…

Somewhere deep in the Sahara desert, a lone stranger was walking in the shade of a dune, following the directions of a strange compass. The compass did not point North, but was instead guiding the man towards something specific. Eventually the man reached a point where the compass pointed directly dowards. Not wasting any time, the man set up a tent at that exact location before entering. Once inside and out of view, he removed the needle of the compass and let it fall into the sand. The needle, as if…

Lex clicked on the article to read more. The article was on a small blog site where the author interviewed some people who claimed to be present when the ‘assassination’ took place. According to the unnamed sources, they were present at an auction where an unlisted item was being sold. Supposedly it was a golden key that unlocked some kind of hidden heritage of an ancient cultivator. Alexander bought the keys but before he could get his hands on them he was attacked and robbed, before the assailants…

While waiting for Larry, Lex continued to search the Blue Bird Portal for details of what happened.There were countless rumors, about war breaking out in the region, about an ancient heritage that had been uncovered, about a unique treasure that had been uncovered that attracted all the rich and powerful. However there was no credible news. Neither Blue Bird nor any other organization released a statement about what was actually happening, just that all cultivator activity had to cease temporarily.…

Alexander stared at Marlo for a while, his thoughts hidden behind his stoic face. Externally Marlo looked completely fine so Alexander could not tell how severe the man’s condition was, but he must have gone through something extremely drastic to change so much. “Did you say this is an Inn?” he finally asked, turning away from his old mentor and towards the mysterious Innkeeper. “Indeed,” Lex answered, glad to have his customers’ attention back. “Our patrons come from all across the…

“Why didn’t you just tell me?” Alexander asked after a long silence. At this moment he was regretting his earlier confidence. He had many contingencies and plans for today, the cloaked ship that hovered above that sent out the 10 Titans was just one of them. At no point during the attack of the chase did he ever feel like he was in any real danger. He truly did feel like he was just watching a play, and was waiting for all the actors to try and attack him one by one. The Gu breaking through his skin…

Hammad was about to lose his temper at Alexander’s casual attitude when he suddenly heard a soft roaring in the distance. The sound, though soft at first, was quickly becoming louder. He looked up in the sky towards where Alexander was looking and saw ten flaming balls shooting towards them at breakneck speed! “Dodge!” was all he had time to shout before the ten flaming balls crashed into the ground before them, completely destroying the road and launching debris everywhere. A cloud of dust filled…

Alexander, who had been reaching out earlier to retrieve the keys, did not move to evade the incoming dagger, but only looked at Hammad with amusement in his eyes. The dagger reached him unimpeded, but when it struck his neck it sounded as if it hit a metal wall and sparks flew. Debris and dust flew into the room as several other attacks broke through the walls towards him, making it hard to see for a moment. However, when the dust cleared Alexander could be seen sitting casually on his chair, leaning back…
