Apparatus
Liam was taken aback.
The Zenith ranked Elder appeared from within the earth.
As though one end of a tunnel had formed on the tower she was sitting upon and the other right below Liam's feet.
At the moment, she was giving Liam an impatient look, despite most of her facial features covered with the ornate mask. Her lips were tightened.
"Well?"
Liam gave a wry smile, cupping his hands respectfully.
"You see, Elder Jane, I have a Binding Oath that stops me from divulging information about my body. I'm afraid there's nothing I can tell you."
Elder Jane frowned.
"Lies."
Liam's smile slowly lessened.
"I cannot sense any Binding Oath on any of your organs."
Elder Jane flickered her right wrist.
A black blade appeared in her grip, cutting through air despite being held perfectly still. It was barely the size of Liam's hand, yet the edges radiated immense sharpness that prickled the hair on his skin.
