Chapter 1099 Mourning the Dead Part 1

"Do you really need to show off so much?" Brina giggled while sweeping her golden hair behind the ear and exposing her slender neck. "Everyone knows that you’re with the Verhens, that’s just overkill."

She tapped on the insignia on his shoulder, making Nalrond inwardly curse at Rena again and at himself for his naivety. Communication amulets were common tools in any tribe of Werepeople, but in the rest of Mogar, they were the mark of big money.

"It’s not about showing off." Even though his skin was bronze, Nalrond managed to blush.

"I left the Blood Desert after the death of my whole village. I’ll never forget seeing their runes disappear one after the other until my amulet was back to be a clean slate. Ever since I got a new family, I’ve never put it away because it allows me to check on them."

He pointed at the various communication rune engraved on the silver.

"Oh, gods, I’m so sorry. I had no idea." Brina turned pale while realizing her blunder. "Was it because of Overlord Salaark? I’ve heard she’s a heartless tyrant."

"No, she would never do such a thing. It was-" Nalrond’s mouth became dry when almost all the runes on his amulet turned dim at the same time.

Only those belonging to Tista, Solus, Protector, and Faluel were still available, but he knew that all of them were out of Lutia. Protector was away on a mission, Faluel was gone with some of her friends, and the girls were having a night out.

He contacted them in a conference call while disabling the holograms to not draw any more attention.

"Oh, gods. It’s my first day off in months and one of my kids calls me right when I was about to relax." Faluel groaned despite her masseuse’s best efforts to alleviate the tension in her shoulders.

The Dragon Bath was one of the finest establishments in the Gorgon Empire and it accepted all races as long as the guests behaved. It had hot springs, thermal mud baths, and the best cooks of the Garlen continent.

"That’s why I don’t take apprentices nor do I want cubs for a while." Scarlett the Scorpicore laughed at the Hydra’s misfortune. "Too much hassle. I prefer keeping things simple. Either I trust someone, or I eat them."

"Whatever. If she leaves, I call dibs on her snacks." Feela the Behemoth couldn’t understand why human servings were so small. Every time she went to a spa, the leader of the Beast Council spent a small fortune on food.

"Then I’ll take her drinks." Scarlett replied.

"Thanks for your concern, girls." Faluel snarled while answering. "Nalrond, what part of ’I don’t want to be disturbed you didn’t understand?"

"Master, can you please check what’s wrong with Lutia?" Nalrond ignored her question and went straight to the point.

"What the fuck?" Faluel jumped up the massage table, making her friends’ expression turn serious.

"I can’t feel any of the protections I laid." She took a control crystal out of her dimensional amulet and discovered that its light was gone.

"Someone has not only disabled them all, but they also managed to not trigger any of the alarms. I’ll be there in a- Oh, dammit! I can barely feel my lair as well. Someone has placed an air sealing array all around it to keep me from Warping straight home." _{freёwebnoѵel.com}

"Don’t worry, I can-" Feela failed to contact her lair as well and so did Scarlett.
