Chapter 28
Days after the banquet, Dax stood high above the skies, suspended in the open air. Below him, the world basked quietly beneath the sun, calm and untouched.

He remembered the words he had spoken to him—the order to come to the Godfall Manor. A faint smile crept onto Dax's face.
"Oh! How lovely."

As he traveled, Dax expanded his senses, recalling the unique feel of Kakarai's presence. The ominous weight he carried. The taint tied to the Blood God… and Solos. That strange familiarity lingered clearly in his memory.
He pushed his perception further, stretching it to its limit.
