Chapter 25: Quest For Leah Part 2

Manutaai was well aware of the brilliant but traitorous scientist Sataal, and his rebel movement on Ahmadeus. Talokta had told him they needed someone to keep an eye on Sataal, get close to him, and report on his movements.

Manutaai knew once he had succeeded, it would ensure he would become Talokta’s right hand man, and be a step closer to his Verone Elite goal.

Slightly drunk from his heavy wine consumption, Talokta, with his gourd and goblet in hand, excused himself to retire to his personal quarters. His officers stood and saluted with fist across chest. Contrary to custom, he refused an escort. He needed to be alone. His mind was restless and drifted back to that unforgettable night when Kalvich and he were drinking together…

Kalvich, who had been drinking exceptionally heavily, out of the blue, drunkenly told his friend he would never go back to Graffa unless he had to.

Talokta coaxed out the story and though his master did not relay many details. What a story indeed.
