Departure

Eight days remained before the trial of the 10th Carriage—the Maze—was to be reset. Jax had planned to leave when there were seven days remaining, so now was as good a time as any.

Jax bought what he could before he was to leave, preparing everything he might need. He even reserved a seat in the afternoon carriage that morning. After everything was settled, there was nothing else to keep him in Seacrest City.

So Jax went to find Julian and get their deal canceled.

He waited in line with the newly joined people until it was his turn. The old man still sat inside, continuously using the spell on every person that joined. It seemed to be the reason why he had to use the opal stone all the time.

Julian looked at the document with information on Jax. "Well, it looks like you're paying your dues on time. Give me your hand, I'll remove our deal."
