I was wondering how I would call up the observer to tell him of my failure, or at least try and claim it was the stupid kids who somehow were causing all the problems, but since he was waiting for me when I opened the door all those questions were answered. I then tried to come up with a plausible lie, maybe he was easy to deceive? I mean he claimed to be an observer, but he wouldn't be the first person to simply lie about their ability just because they were different from everyone else. And then I remembered he could read my mind and I knew I had just screwed myself.
"Your deception wouldn't have worked anyway just to say." I hate people who are smugly right, especially when they are right.
"Well so you know I failed so I guess I'm to be destroyed." Resignation in the face of defeat my common response.
"Failed? No you didn't fail, you showed me that yes the death magic is just a result of your continued existence and not some overall problem in this particular city, you are no more about to be destroyed than your normal day, which might suggest yes you will be, but not by me." And like that my interaction with him was gone. I was left to just sit there in my office feeling like a fool. He apparently wanted me to walk around the city proving to him that it was just a residue of me and not a greater threat, why he didn't just tell me that? I dunno greater being are just as petty and dickish as the gods I deal with.
On the plus I did get a forgotten volume of my early works removed from the world, so that was good. As a negative I had to get kidnapped and inconvenienced for a bit. So you know over all a normal Trezlan kind of affair.
