Journal #42 - The Wizard's Friend part 2

by Amity Pell

There weren’t any shops around, so we went to a park. I guess it was a park? It was nice, except for not having any plants or anything, since we’re underground. Which, by the way, is starting to make figuring out what time it is kind of hard, but I guess it doesn’t matter….
 
But, we talked about it. Me, Max, and Variel mostly. Swindle was pretty quiet. But Max said it didn’t really hurt him, it was more… surprising. And he felt like he was in control the whole time, not like, the house took him over or anything.
 
It’s weird though. Because whoever built this whatever it is, it needs someone like Max to work. So maybe it was built by the same people that built him? Who was that anyway? Max said he was from a “batch” of 80. A long time ago. So he has 79 brothers…. And some of them are “resting” at the Shrine, back where Swindle rescued him from. Max said they’re resting forever, which probably means what you think it means. Anyway, Max was made for fighting (I mean look at him), but maybe there are other kinds, that are like him, but different? Maybe they’re out there in the world somewhere! I’d like to help Max find them.
 
Swindle finally said that the whole thing makes him really nervous, and he doesn’t like it, but it’s not up to him, it’s up to Max (which is true). So we went and found Cannons on Deck and went back to her house again. She could barely contain herself. You can tell she didn’t get much work done while she was waiting for us.
 
So we went back to the house, and back inside, and Max got back in the chair. He did a lot of little tests, like seeing what he could see and from where, and what directions he can move in (not up or down). He started trying to turn again, and that’s when things really started to get going.
 
The room started to shake a whole lot more, and I ran outside. Not ‘cause I was scared, but ‘cause I wanted to see what everything looked like for myself. The building was falling apart! I almost got hit by something but I totally didn’t because I’m a very agile person, you know?
 
Anyway, outside it was a much better view. It was like… it was like… Cannons on Deck’s house was an egg, and it was getting broken open by the thing that was inside. By Max! I could see… something, underneath it all. Around this time the neighbors started showing up again, and they were definitely even more angry than the first time. One of the guildmasters came to talk to me! I told him not to worry ‘cause we’re just doing an excavation, and I’ve got it all under control. He still seemed concerned though, and went to bang on what was left of the house a lot. Nobody let him in.
 
Eventually it totally fell into pieces, and I got a good view of it. But… I still wasn’t sure what it was. But now you could see that it… that Max, could go along those metal bars that were in the ground. Like, a track. So he can’t move everywhere, but I wonder where he can go?
 
The guildmaster stopped yelling at everyone inside and came back to talk to me, and he got a better look at the thing that had been inside the house. Something big, something magic, something real old that doesn’t look old at all. He seemed like maybe he believed me a little this time. So he left to go check something about paperwork, and I said I’d totally stay right here and wait for him, and then I didn’t.
 
Back inside everybody was okay. I guess they were safe inside the… the whatever it is. Max was okay. He seemed pretty pleased actually. I’m glad for him. We have to figure out what to do now though because… it looks like the rest of the tracks are completely built over by the other buildings and streets in Ivorfall. It’s gonna be a big deal, though.
 
We said that Cannons on Deck should maybe talk to Master Imorn, ‘cause they’re “friends” right? Cannons said that mostly she does what he asks and sometimes he pays her. Anyway though, he’s the one that sent us here to talk to her about Max, so I’m pretty sure he’s already got at least some idea of what we’ve been up to.
