Chapter 187: Isla'Fairbal

Nix opened his eyes, squinting slightly in the dark room. Somehow it seemed wrong to leave a warm bed and a beautiful woman in the dimness of predawn, but he had important things to take care of. Shae looked up from her pillow just as he was putting his armor on.

Her long red hair was spread out on the white sheets beneath her. "I'll check on Fey this morning." Shae watched him get ready. Nix never got out of bed early unless it was important. "You'll be back today?"

Nix nodded, "going to send someone a message. I'll be in Isla'Fairbal if you need to find me suddenly. I may summon you if things go badly."

"Okay. Will you upgrade my armor like you did yours?" Shae sat up, the white sheets slid down her torso.

Nix stared for a moment. "I already did... Did you get more beautiful while I was sleeping?"

Shae laughed and nodded when he bent over for a kiss. "I did."

Nix walked toward the Gemini temple, the sky was turning orange just as the Gemini Temple came into view.
