Chapter 1773 - Strange Partners (Part 1)

Whenever they bumped into each other, Baba Yaga's three bodies would fuse until nervousness split them again.

"If you don't calm down, mage tower or not, you'll open a hole in the ground." Of the eight chairs around the table, only one was taken.

Leegaain was in his human form, looking like a lean albino man in his mid-thirties, 1,75 meters (5'9") tall, with snow-white hair and skin. His eyes were ocean green with vertical pupils. He was wearing a lab coat over a set of pitch-black clothes.

"I know, but this is big." The Crone said. "I'm not used to inviting people here, especially those who have hunted me my whole life."

"Then why did you do this?" He asked.

"Because this time Night went too far disobeying my orders." Baba Yaga replied. "Not only is she still planning to kill Lith, but she is also going to do the same with Elphyn and that's not going to happen on my watch."

The Crone took a few deep breaths to calm down before managing to merge all of her forms into one and sit down.

"Thanks for your help, Leegaain. Without you, I would have never had the chance to safely invite here the Council. Giving them the location of my tower would have been like asking for an ambush." She looked at her former mentor and friend with eyes full of gratitude.

"Don't worry. As long as you are in my turf, I'll make sure that they behave." The Guardian nodded. "Is it me or have you renovated the place?"

"I did. After meeting Elphyn and after what has just happened, my tower needed more weapons and fewer playgrounds-"

The door of the hut opened and four humanoids walked in. Feela the Behemoth, Lotho the Treant, Raagu the human, and Inxialot the Lich King all looked around the tower, using any means at their disposal to understand its secrets.

"You took your sweet time staring at my hut from the outside. I know that you arrived over half an hour ago." Baba Yaga said with a sneer. "Believe me, you are not going to have better luck from the inside. Sit down." _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

"You can't blame a man for trying." Inxialot shrugged, producing a dust cloud from his clothes that made the other Awakened cough.

"By the way Leegaain, when are you going back? Things are boring up there without you and I miss our games of chess."

The Lich pointed at the moon high in the sky, without any one of those present but the Father of all Dragons understanding his words.

"I've been busy, but I plan on returning as soon as I've collected everything I need for my experiments. It's the best place to get some peace, quiet, and resources." Leegaain replied. "The Empire is too chaotic and it's only going to get worse."

"Agreed. Let's hope that the snake stays away. He's good with research, but not even up there there's enough space for his ego." Inxialot said.

"Yeah, Fenagar is a pompous asshole." The Guardian nodded.

"Why are we here?" Now that her best attempt had failed to study the power core of the mage tower, Raagu had already lost interest in the meeting, and hearing that nonsense only made it worse.

"Because I'm issuing a kill order for Night and you are going to help me." Baba Yaga said. "Every one of my children who is loyal to me is currently hunting her down with the purpose of destroying her.
