Pet

Liam began with telling the Elder where the Royal academy was, their transportation methods, their protections and numbers, as well as the teachings he learned from his classes.

The Binding Oath no longer bound Liam.

He was free to divulge any information about the academy. He went as far as giving the names of his teachers, starting with the Headmaster.

All the while, he was fondling the giant Octopus and manipulating its body in different ways.

A solid hour passed.

Now and again, the Octopus would jolt awake and attempt to ensnare Liam's body, but a slap by the Elder put it to sleep again.

Eventually, Elder Jane raised a hand.

"You can stop. I can't use most of the information you gave me… but the knowledge you have from your classes can prove useful."

"The Disciples and Shadows have forging and inscribing methods that can benefit from that. Write down anything that pertains to that and give it to me."
