‘Don’t give me that look. Meeting her won’t be dangerous. If she’s just been revived, then she won’t be able to hurt me yet. But I definitely want you to escort me everywhere else. We might not be the only reaper and servant to pay her a visit.’
“You think so? Do you, uh... do you think I’m ready to fight another servant?”
Garovel fell quiet a moment. ‘We won’t engage anyone like that unless we absolutely have to. But all the same, you’d better start meditating.’
“Right...”
‘Oh, but before you do, lay out the classified ads for me.’
“What for?”
‘I’ll see about finding you transport. Sescoria is a good four hundred kilometers away. You can’t just run there.’
“So I’ll take a train.”
‘Yeah... Problem with that is, we might have to leave Sescoria in a hurry. If we’re getting chased, you won’t exactly have time to stand around waiting for a train to arrive.’
“O-okay, but... I don’t even have a driver’s license...”
‘I’ll give you a day to practice.’
“Oh, gee, a whole day?”
‘Twenty-four hours of nonstop practice should be more than enough to get the basics down.’
“Uh, but it’s still illegal...”
The reaper shrugged. ‘Eh.’
He sighed. “This is gonna end with me impaled on a fencepost or something, isn’t it...?”
‘Probably.’
“Ugh...” Hector rubbed his face. “This whole thing feels like a terrible idea...”
‘I know it does. But a hell of a lot of lives could be in danger. And if they aren’t, then so much the better. It could still be an opportunity to make a valuable ally.’
“Yeah... I guess you’re right...”
‘We only have a few days before her public appearance. Let’s not waste them.’
He nodded.

Really enjoying it so far! Started reading at 12 a.m, kept me up to unholy hours, especially since I had to get up early. Got here from a friend's recommendation on Facebook. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteTremendous. Thank you very much.
DeleteI love Garovels attitude on these things so much. "24 hours of non-stop driving should be enough for the basics", "It's illegal? Meh." Garovels the man.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteAnother chapter read and another wait before I can read more... I am still enjoying this very much. Keep up the great work Mr. Frost
ReplyDeleteHaha, you sound so sad. And while that gives me sick pleasure, I'll see about doing some double posts fairly soon.
DeleteLol I can't get enough of Hector and Garovel interactions. Either they make me laugh out loud or they make go "Awww"
ReplyDelete...don't judge me
why garovel so intent to save life when he is the "Grim Reaper" ? What his objective really?
ReplyDeleteThink of it as a very, very proactive form of procrastination.
