I suspect that the alchemist was looking for ways to defend himself against his new and very dangerous friend. Then he had me send a message to old Jarnauga in the north, asking for information about the Storm King. Pryrates dealt with me harshly for failing with Morgenes. 'I see they missed.'Ĭadrach held up his hand. You're the girl who was going to be shot,' said Victor. 'But come and meet him - he's got his friends in tonight, I'm sure hell be interested to see you.
