I blinked, confused.
"Did the bald demon lock me in?"
Frowning, I pulled up Steve's number and called him. The phone rang and rang, but he didn't pick up.
"What are you doing?"
Arkas's voice came from behind me, and I almost dropped my phone.
"Fuck!"
I spun around. Arkas was standing there, staring at me with narrowed eyes.
I gulped.
"Umm… Commander, I was thinking of grabbing some food."
Arkas ignored my comment.
"Have you gone through all the skills?"
I shook my head.
"Then go through them. Your food will be delivered here. Oh, and if you need a washroom, just call it out."
With that, he vanished.
I threw up my hands in frustration.
"Why does it feel like the old man doesn't want me near North?"
I exhaled and withdrew my Essence from the staff, watching as it shrank back to its original size.
Fixing it securely in my belt, I turned my attention to the other two skill crystals.
