I woke up inside the citadel... My head is pounding, it seems something hit me pretty hard... I'm in a small room near the citadel gates. Suddenly, a dull but powerful thud echoes... "Father Urgash, what's going on?" I ask the priest sitting next to me. He stares at me with wide eyes, "You impure one!" and raises his cross.
- "Elrath will not forgive your words, you scoundrel!"
I nimbly dodge and bump my head against the doorframe. "Uncle, calm down! I'm one of us! I'm telling you, someone who isn't one of us is knocking at the door... Everyone knows me, I'm the famous entertainer, Atz Imanuil Jaykovsky!"
- "Alright, my child, forgive me, my hearing isn't what it used to be... and it's the rebellious commoners knocking at the gate... as if we don't have enough rebels on the outskirts, now even our own people are trying to cause trouble... they've already burned down almost three-quarters of the city... What the hell, Elrath, they're commoners! Commoners should be good, but it's as if a demon has possessed them..."
- "Alright, I'll be going... Could you please lead me to the Emperor or his financial director? They owe me money for the show..."
- "Alright, alright, I'll lead you, you seem like a good lad..."
And so, the priest, along with a couple of his guards, and I set off towards the palace.
Meanwhile, on the ship: "Jack, don't sleep, or you'll freeze." "Ah, she's awake again," I demoralize the creature for 2 turns. The Necromancer has caught up to us. "You creature!" - I fend off the bone dragon. "Here, have an ice block, dragon." "Where are you taking the Emperor, you creature?" "Citizens, save me! They're taking me to an island,"
"During the journey to the Emperor, I pray to Ash, the Goddess of Death, and fully restore my lost HP and MP..."
