Gideon tossed his hands in the air in a ht this thing up and see what happens now, or do any of you have any is’s lips pulled back fro one of these runes tends to coincide with being a ho deity into ith the kingdom of the Gods,” he tossed out casually “I don’t think that’s a side effect of rune, really, but you never know”
Gideon snorted in bewilderment, shook his head, and then closed his eyes After a moment, he opened just one and looked at Lyra “So I…uh…just push mana into it or…?”
Her lips formed a hard line as she nodded “Feel for it The rune itself is a part of you now, and you should sense it”
Gideon closed his eye again, frowning deeply as he concentrated

“Oh,” he said, almost a moan “This is…”
The flow ofhard, and his eyes were“Don’t worry There is a heady rush to a new rune, especially a crest or higher”
Finally, Gideon’s eyes fluttered open “I don’t entirely understand what just happened,” he adical equivalent of drinking far too much coffee in far too short a ti slowly around the protective shi+elding “Probably either that of a Sentry or an Imbuer A crest, certainly Without the proper to a description of all the runes granted fro to herself, Lyra took the book and flipped through it “Here it is Awakened Mind, the crest of an Ih runes do not always align with previous life experience It has only been granted twice that was recorded in this to it allowed both I wakefulness and focus”
She handed the book back to Emily, who took it with both hands like it was a child
“Yes, that’s what I felt, but it was a chaotic energy,” Gideon said, gingerly pushi+ng hih the shi+eld He flicked the switch, and the transparent barrier dwindled and vanished “It’ll get easier?”
“Oh yes,” Lyra confirth as you master the rune When you’ve done that, atteain, and you may receive another, h not always”
E horror falling over her features “So he’s going to be even…more hyperactive?”
I chuckled appreciatively, but Gideon himself took no notice as he slipped a loose tunic over his bare torso and stretched, his back cracking like gravel crunching beneath a boot
“Then we erly
The chamber went quiet as we all looked at the old artificer in surprise

Lyra stepped closer to Gideon and said softly, “My own caution, then, would be against pushi+ng your officiant too hard Perfor on both rona’s officiants spend their entire lives training to handle the huge crowds that can show up to a bestowment, and often the load is shared between many people”
She hesitated, then added, “I would be willing to lend my services as an officiant if you teachinto this, but for the ed, s to help”

It had been some time since either of us had spoken, and I had to collect the ard shreds of“After this second test?”
“No, after all that We’ve mostly taken back the continent, broken Kezess’s liiven spellforms to Dicathen to help even the odds in any future battles But a couple of white core rona”
I leaned back against the wall and let the back ofof the spellforrona, but it will allow us to rapidly provide power boosts where they are needed and add a lot of new tools to our repertoire, you know that” I thought for a few seconds “Any one of the steps we take ht be what allows victory in the end”
“But,” I continued after another long pause, “I understand that you and I have other things to do Seris is fighting a war for us in Alacrya, and there are two more ruins to hunt down” I left unsaid the proble else, the one I had done my best to keep to the back of my mind ever since Sylvie’s sacrifice and my appearance in the Relictombs…because I still had no idea what I could do about Cecilia and Tessia
Regis lapsed into silence, and together, aited for Eer than Gideon would have liked to recruit a second test subject whom I’d had no interaction with There was so to the guards out in the hallould sway the results, and uards and soldiers in the Earthborn Institute had crossed my path at least once or twice
But the real delay was that, when Skarn Earthborn discovered what E his uncle, Carnelian, about the tests, so that the dwarven lord could voice his opinion This inevitably becale between the Earthborns and Silvershales to send forth a member of their house, but s with the Council of Lords
But eventually, after what felt like many hours but was probably only one, E dwarf lord called Daylun, Carnelian’s chief rival Daymor kept his pitch-black beard trihtly shorter He looked every bit the royal as he appeared in a regally-tailored tunic and breeches, with rings on his fingers and a golden-hilted sword hanging at his hip
I, of course, only watched frois atEmily into the bestowal chaht he looked nervous, and he grew even uards and attendant who had trailed him down into these deep tunnels were h I could not watch the process, a fact I found so, I listened to theeverything that was to happen Still, I consoled myself with the fact that I had seen the bestow

When the door opened again, the three dwarves were quick to hurry in I followed behind, curious but hopeful There had been no panicked shouts to indicate we had just killed off a member of the noble house of Silvershale, and indeed, when I peered through the door, I saw Day as he rubbed at the bare flesh of his back
He tried to turn around to look over his shoulder, as if he ht be able to see his own spine, while Gideon shooed the other dwarves to the outer edges of the small room
“Now, feel for the rune, and push your mana into it It should feel natural, instinctual,” Lyra was saying
Dayround “Like I said, I don’t take orders from Alacryan filth, and especially not the bitch Queen of Etistin”
“That’s enough, Day is ihblood Dreide is here at my order”
The dwarf atte of a htened he was After a few seconds, he cleared his throat and said, “Aye, let’s get on with it then This bloody thing itches like the dickens”
Gideon sucked his teeth in irritation “Fine, then perhaps you’ll listen to me Stay within the circle, and empower the spellfor hi a deep breath,his broad chest swell

Lyra had fallen back to stand besiderofully tedious if every conversation has to wait for a string of expletives to be thrown at you first”
Lyra didn’t answer, and so I returnedRealmheart so I could watch the flow of mana Like with Gideon, it poured from Daymor’s core and down into his rune, but this tiround
Thin fissures cracked the ground inside of the protection circle, and wispy flames erupted from them I could see the fine line where the protection circle’s runes rebuffed the flow of theoutside it
“Fire, my lord!” the attendant said, clearly shocked
Day noise like a cannon “Ah, but it feels strange Good, but strange!”
All in all, it was not an ile-attribute earth ranted him the ability to cast a spell of a different type than his natural affinity; that alone was a great boon for a Dicathianhis father could crow about in the Council of Lords s for the foreseeable future, especially as Dayrew
As E to Day, reports on how the spellforhts drift to the next question Gideon would want to do a third test, of course This tinificant ah the list was short, that did notto Dicathen?
The better question, I thought toto put at risk?
