Chapter 290: Calm Before The Storm

Olivia POV

Calmness came back to the world, filling our every waking moment. Even my dreams were of a distinctly lovely sort. The danger had passed, and the dragon was slain, honor satisfied with a minimum of damage to anyone involved. Ellis was so proud.

All in all, one of the major benefits I got from the whole deal, was an even deeper insight into why it was that he did what he did. The thrill from winning so absolutely was unlike anything I’d ever felt.

No wonder Ellis didn’t need booze, or any other drugs. He didn’t get high on that, or on life, as was too often a noted alternative. His high was a victory, and there was an endless, unattained supply.

The Steven situation had given me a taste of what it was like to be him. To fight the forces of greed, evil, and generally not good, with little more than the power of my mind and some kick-ass clerical skills. Making the best use of the allies I had.
