Archon

Shae studied the stone, her expression unreadable. "Archon is the highest class of Salamander. It's after Nemesis, there are none of those in Colonial."

Nix nodded, "I figured as much. Is it directly after Nemesis?"

Shae nodded her head. "The Salamander ranks are Elemental, Spirit, Lord, Nemesis, and Archon."

He had seen what Archons looked like in the illusion. "There aren't any Archons in Colonial." Nix stared at the stone, "somehow it feels wrong."

"I agree... It should be destroyed." Shae's voice was firm, "it goes against the order of things. A Class V reward for a mid-tier quest?"

Nix placed it on a flat rock next to where they were sitting. Shae picked up a larger round rock and together they held it for a moment. "This is the right thing."

"This is the right thing," Shae agreed.

Together they slammed the rock down on the spirit stone and everything went black.
