661. Boy Becomes A Man

"That's the Burning Mountain. Home of what used to be the Wild Forge," Sylvester pointed at the distant shining peak of a mountain. Normally, they'd have seen it from up close, but as they were traveling on the Desert Road, the mountain was some distance away. 

"Woah! I read about it in books. Can't you stop that fire and start the Forge again, Godfather?" Rex asked with intrigue. "I want a legendary sword too." 

Sylvester hummed and looked, remembering the frightening experience he had when he tried to explore the ruins. Although Nehlius had told him there was an entrance to his realm, he still believed there was some other creature living there since he had sensed life. 

"Why do you want a legendary sword?" Sylvester turned the little slip of the tongue from the boy into a full-fledged lecture about duty, honor, and kindness, a true signature move from someone as old as him. 

Boom!

"Godfather! Look above!"
