"Do you want me to remove those shackles?" Shadelia had gone through all of things that had changed (weapons used magazines which held ammunition and were easier to reload than the old cylinder one at a time, also they were dual action, which meant firing was all in a trigger pull not in the hammer, moving vehicles were called cars and trucks based on the rear end it appeared and they ran on natural fuels mostly, oh and Morley ran a damn company now too though he much like Hanlon has been nowhere to be seen), when she was done I felt very very old.
"Oh these right sorry." I took off the shackles with a bit of a flex of my wrists.
"You could have done that the whole time?"
"Well I have been wearing them for a long time Shadelia, and before you ask why I didn't escape I had no where to go and no knowledge of how to get there, part of being a necromancer is knowing I can play the long game, and I did mostly." I didn't tell her of course prior to my rescue I had been wrestling with deciding to kill my jailer and escape for days, but that was also because I hadn't seen the old bastard for a few days and as much as I don't normally need to eat I do get hungry after three days. She simply smiled and then reached behind her desk to retrieve my sword. I'd left it behind at my shop years previous and frankly it was surprising it didn't get melted down or stolen along the way.
"I believe you'll probably need this even though most people don't use words for anything but letter opening."
"Well I'm a bit old fashioned I always used fire for letter opening."
"Doesn't that destroy the letter?"
"Yes, yes it does." Now everyone who wrote me now knows why I never write back!
"I also have a bunch of your journals in which you admit to crimes beyond mention, Mr. Lorentino in the future I'd not write down those."
"If I don't I might forget."
"Well at the very least you might want to use a type writer, for legibility, your handwriting is a mixture between illegible and badly spelled."
"It only looks badly spelt!" No its actually badly spelt, look at how I spell definitely most of the time, I add an a, I also do that vocally in case you wanted to know where the glitch occurs.
"Well now that you are sorted."
"Right right I have to go to war my favorite part of coming back."
"And welcome back Mr. Lorentino." And with that I set out on war, because of course I did, I swear its like I worship the fire god without even knowing it.
