Spheris was now standing amidst the crowd, arms folded, his expression cold and unreadable as he waited. He had put the Power Blade into his Eternal Satchel and it was now a part of his ever growing collection of items that might come handy in the future.

Standing there, the mountainers around him kept their distance, whether it was because they were frightened of him or because they disliked him, that was yet to be certain.
