Chapter 136: Lore Master

Rhychard stood in the ruins of Harvest Fellowship, memories of the madness that took place here over a month ago still very vivid in his mind. He clutched the ring, savoring the feel of it in his hand, the strength he always pulled from it. Last night, once he arrived back home and after a long, scalding shower, he managed to talk to Tryna and ask how they could send Renny on to her next journey. Renny, of course, argued against it, but in the end, Rhychard’s stubbornness won out. It also helped that the ellyll was on his side. “It’s not fair of me to keep you here,” he told her. “There is something greater waiting for you. You’ve done what you needed to do here. You deserve to move on, to gain real rest and peace.”

“We don’t even know what moving on means,” she argued. “It could be terrible, you know.”
