Servant of the Axe - Tarantula's Secret

Chapter Type: Conflict (versus other), System

It turns out there is a mental condition called Dread, like a daily bleeding condition for your Serenity.

True, I shouldn't have been experiencing it; Tarantula might be a Champion, but if she'd truly been as competent as she thought, she should have just attacked me and been done with it.

After a month and a half, I was almost certain I had no secrets from her.  She had questions on magic, on mentalism, on the arts of hunting and wrestling – she even asked about my gathering and crafting professions.

"It's hard to believe that over half your divisor comes just from aging slowly." She said, one day when I was purifying the shrine.  "And the rest… are you CERTAIN you aren't level two in anything?"

"If so, then my System is lying to me." I said. 

"That's so sad.  Most of us trust our Systems."
