Rurek returns with Osh to Swark, but doesn’t rush to One. Instead, he decides to have a more thorough conversation with Rizz. Yes, Rizz is back! It’s strange that Ikazkan didn’t manage to fall during the absence of the legendary Sord.
“You’ve been wandering for a long time, Rizz,” Rurek said with a hint of displeasure in his voice. “I hope your affairs were really important, because we looked for you, but didn’t find you, and in the meantime, we made a lot of messes. We even started a war. Ogonёk is destroying and enslaving the peoples of the underworld, and we are trying to stop him. We killed several important Cheesemongers, freed what little remained of the Eye tribe, and even chatted with Kof. But we also suffered heavy losses. Vatagash died, Gaal, Gadik, Ball… I can’t even imagine what’s going on among the Furies. What kind of things Ogonёk hasn’t come up with! Exploding humans, combat idols, cannons, all sorts of weapons against non-humans. And then that Shadow appeared, and her extremely suspicious guardian. In short, everything is very, very bad. Please, Rizz, tell me you have good news!
Right now, Rurek resembled a little Sord who came to a big and strong father, hoping that he would solve all his problems.
