Chapter 323: The Summit

Finn paused then called out to the gentleman who had begun to move:

The gentleman nodded without hesitation. “Of course. It will be arranged exactly as you have requested. Our House will take full responsibility for the… disruption.”

“It shall be done immediately,” the gentleman replied then turned his attention to the young master. The boy was still holding his unconscious sister, and his face was a portrait of suppressed fury.

He gave Helix a long and cautionary look. It was a silent warning that reminded the boy of exactly who had summoned Finn in the first place. Helix swallowed his pride and gave a stiff nod, understanding the gentleman’s meaning. He stepped onto his flying artifact and adjusted the weight of his sister in his arms.

Finn did not respond with words. Instead he moved his hand subtly and his shadow on the ground began to stretch and bubble.

He let out a soft and resonant hum as Finn stepped onto his head. With a powerful surge of his coils, Ryuga rose into the air. They followed Helix through the zero gravity zone and headed toward the single landmass that hovered at the very apex of Stratus, weaving past large and small landmasses along the way till they finally reached the landmass that looked as if it was floating on clouds.

However, the structure felt new. Everything here was less than a month old, and it showed in the lack of weathering on the stone and the fresh shine of the polished wood in certain areas of the building.

Moreso, they weren’t just artifact nurturers but practitioners of every branch of magic, from elemental manipulation to body enhancement and also beast taming.

As they descended, a group of Arcanists dressed in sterile white robes rushed forward to meet them. They took the unconscious Nova from Helix’s arms and quickly ushered her toward a different wing of the building for treatment. Helix let them do their job, swallowing hard as he watched them go. The distress was plain on his face but he forced himself to turn back to Finn.

They walked through the grand entrance and into a hallway that was lined with polished marble pillars. At the end of the hall a group of men were standing in a circle and talking in hushed tones. Immediately Finn and Helix entered the hall, two of the men broke away from the group and walked toward them.

The man was an older and more weathered version of Cade. He had the same sharp features and arrogant tilt to his head, but his eyes were full of a deep and settled power. He wore robes of dark silk that were embroidered with the silver thorns of his house.
