Bab 249: Blue Flame

Ghostheart was amongst the latest urban legends to find life in Norneau's busy scene.

Buoyed by those who claimed freedom thanks to his activities, and the influx of beastfolk from the west, hungry to learn more about a city that managed to fend off Maledict, the Duke of Heresy's siege, the story spread like wildfire.

Some wanted to fight the mysterious demon, believing that he had stolen much of the Syndicate's former wealth in the city. Others claimed he delivered warnings to those wished to own slaves. And still, others claimed that he could be summoned, with the humble use of magic to create a blue flame, and that those seeking emancipation for someone in the city would be met, while those seeking a fight would find one, and lose.

It was a blue flame rumor that Kir was investigating tonight.
