章 223: Servant of the Axe - Friends Like These

Chapter Type: Character Development

Adelose was a female spirit, freckled of skin and red of hair.  She was also transparent, more so than most residents of the Dreamtime.

In particular, it was hard to focus on any details of her face.

"I like your eyes." She told me.

"Rhishisikk, this Adelose.  She's what happens when a ghost hangs around long enough and learns to sustain itself.  Adelose, this is Rhishisikk.  He's a spawn of the titans, but he gets quests done."

"Yes, I heard about him from the horned rat.  I've a quest for you, if you don't mind."

"So long as it doesn't conflict with my existing duties.  Honestly, I'm very busy."

"Oh, it's a small thing." She said.  "When you next pass through Boadicea's Girdle, I'd like you to expose three ghosts to the sun."

"Won't that kill them?" I asked.

"I certainly hope so." She said.  "Their existence… is a blight upon my own."
