Chapter 26: Lord of the Mountain

With the war game now complete, I knew this would mean that many eyes would now look in my direction. This was something I was not fond of, so I made a decision.

Opening my communication panel I sent a message to InfiniteBloom that said, "I need a minute. Can't deal with all the people. I'll catch up in a bit."

I changed my comm setting to 'Private' to stop any protest before shifting to snake form. Activating stealth,(active camouflage) I slithered through the portal. My new group mates called out for me to 'stop!' and 'wait!' but I ignored them. I simply couldn't handle all the attention. My life for the past ten years has been...very quiet. I returned to the glade through the portal and quickly got out of the now-massive crowd that had gathered.

The system sent me a notification.

"Was that a lot?" I thought to myself.
