Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 1075: The Most Powerful Alter (Part 1)



Before Rayna was to head to the Neverfall Clan base to answer the summons from her own clan, Dame had asked to speak to her. He wanted to explain in detail everything that had occurred between her father and Raze.

She thought it would be best that she learned what happened from him, rather than that of his brothers, because he was sure that his brothers wouldn't exactly take Raze's side, especially since there was no reason for them to be so nice to him before.

Before telling the tale, Dame did inwardly smirk thinking about how Raze must have humiliated them before they tried to attack Brack of all things.

"And that's everything that I heard," Dame said standing by a window.

The two of them had gone to one of the rooms in an Inn. Away from the ears of others. "I don't want you to blame Raze for what happened."

"Do you think I'm as stupid as you?" Rayna replied. "I know it's not Raze's fault. Everything was father's decision from the beginning. It's just so strange, that he would trust a stranger for all of this, rather than us?"

"Couldn't he have given his power to me and you?"

"Do you think it would be better in our hands?" Dame replied. "Honestly, I'm not sure if I would have been able to accomplish the same things that Raze has done if father had given me his power."

"At the time, I was lost myself as to where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do. The only thing I did know was I wanted to build a legacy, one which wasn't on the back of the Neverfall Clan."

"Thinking about it, even if he did give me the power, I would have probably refused because it didn't match up with my morals, but for Raze it's different, he will do anything to get more power."

"And that's why he was picked."

Rayna started to think when she first met Raze, how with his help, and his limited power back then he had saved her from the Light Faction. She knew he was someone special in that moment, and for all of it to come around to this.

Maybe the special feeling she felt about him was the same as what Belil felt. In the end, she had to admit, why would she have father's power? She was weaker than her elder brothers, and perhaps even weaker than Dame right now due to his special hybrid form he had.

The power would have certainly been a waste on her.

"Why didn't father give the power to them?" Rayna asked.

Dame knew who "them" was referring to, it was their brothers.

"I don't have the answer as I am not father, but Raze told me, he believed... that he had made somewhat of a mistake with the two of them, and he wanted to correct it with us two. In a way, maybe father didn't give us his power, he didn't tell us about everything because he didn't want to burden us with this mess."

"He wanted the two of us to go on our own paths, and Raze, who wasn't related to any of this, was the perfect person to select. Someone who didn't mind being used in return for power."

There was silence for a moment, and Rayna realized it was the first time she heard Dame talking so nicely of their father. She remembered the distance the two of them had growing up. They didn't have a close bond at all.

His father would often only call Dame to tell him off, but was that just the relationship the two had on the outside? She was starting to think maybe the two of them understood and were closer than she thought.

"Did you know about him being a Divine warrior?" Rayna asked.

"I had no idea at all... not the slightest. I now feel like the thing I was chasing after was further ahead than I ever imagined." Dame answered. "So what are you going to do, about them, and the clan? With father gone, the Elders will put them at the helm not you, does that sit well with you?"

"I have an idea that might suit the elders and the whole of Pagna more. He is still part of the clan after all, and is his Son-in-law, if he agrees, the others can't really say anything."

"An outsider having that much control of Pagna. An outsider that doesn't even care about the status of the Clan's. I do like your thinking."

The two laughed for a while and enjoyed the silence. Eventually, Rayna walked up to the window, and a bird was flying through the air. She held out her hand, and allowed it to land on her forearm.

Right between its clawed feet there was a small piece of paper.

"A message, is it from the clan?" Dame asked.

Rayna shook her head.

"I asked for someone to come here. Someone who can tell us everything we want to know about Alter and the Light Faction's strength. What we are lacking right now compared to our opponent is information."

"They had a giant network right underneath our noses, but with an organization like Alter, there is sure to be slip ups, rumors, among other things of their power, and there is one person that will know more than anyone."

"Sometimes they are a pain in our backside, sometimes they are a useful tool to get the public on our side. I think you should come."

The two exited from the main area where the town hall was located and made their way towards one of the gates. Just outside there was a man waiting by a flashy carriage that had a large amount of plated gold on the outside, and as for the person standing in front of it. They too were wearing a large golden robe.

"Welcome, welcome my friends. You called on me, the great information gatherer?" Bubble said, rubbing his hands together.

"Come on, let's talk inside," Rayna said as she gestured towards Dame.

"Sure, sure, anything for my friends, is the Dark Magus not joining us today, I would like to thank him for everything he did at the Martial Arts Tournament..." Bubble said.

Bubble, the biggest news outlet for the public, and the man who started most of the rumors that had given Raze the names that spread far and wide. He was an information gatherer, an exaggerator, but right now, they might need that exaggeration to help them out.

"I want you to tell me everything you have heard about these Deleters," Rayna asked.
