Chapter 20: Collision Course 

 

“So, what class are you Auriel?” I asked as Myra guided us out of the manor and into the city. 

“Hexbreaker,” Auriel replied. “Most of my skills are similar to the paladins of your day, just without a god.” 

“Paladin eh? So you can shrug off magic, heal wounds and all that?” 

“I can heal my own wounds, I don’t know how it works though, the skill auto-activates whenever I’m injured. I can break magic, create an aura of anti-magic, and I’m a bit denser than I should be, so I can take a hit.” 

“Wow, with how powerful you are against spellcasters I’m surprised you weren’t recruited and given some big fancy position that answers directly to the crown.” 

“They tried,” Auriel sighed. “It was terrible, I was even almost kidnapped once after my baton was made. I thought they’d never leave me alone.” 

“What made them stop?” 

“Mom said that Syene did something.”

“It always comes back to her doesn’t it?” I giggled. “Seriously Syene seems to be proficient at sticking her nose in everything.” 

“Skilled artificers are highly prized by the King,” Auriel said, nodding in agreement. “By the way, what level are you currently Caelan?” 

“Umm… let’s see.” Status.
