My Second Life Is A Heroic Power Fantasy 84 The Green Company Hideout Part 3

After a very brief moment of feeling like he was being turned inside out through his belly b.u.t.ton, Jack felt himself pop back into reality close to the ceiling of Urien's cave room. He promptly and unceremoniously fell chest-first to the ground with a meaty thud, directly in the middle of Rose, Madeleine, Urien, and Farien. As he got up off the ground, Rose rushed over and helped him up.

"What happened to you?" She asked, her face concerned. "You were sitting in front of the fire, and the next thing I know you're just... gone. Now, hours later you appear in mid-air in the middle of the room wearing new armor and new clothes like nothing happened."

Jack stood, and brushed the dust and dirt off his new armor. "Frumpkin wanted to show me something. I didn't realize he had actually taken me away. I thought he was just showing me something in a vision." He said.

"Who is this Frumpkin character you're speaking of?" Farien asked.

"It's a long story." Jack said.

"I'd certainly be interested in hearing it." Urien said. There was something oddly threatening in his tone that Jack couldn't place, and it made him a little uneasy.

"If you want me to explain, I am happy to, but not now. I'm so tired I can't keep my eyes open. Suffice to say that Frumpkin is a friend. A powerful one, and he is no enemy of the Green Company. He is the reason we know where the gnolls are hiding out." Jack said.

Farien shot a glance to Urien that Jack couldn't read. The older brother examined Jack's face for several long moments before his posture seemed to relax a little.

"Fair enough." He said. "But I expect an explanation tomorrow. I'm sure it'll be very illuminating."

He walked a few steps towards the entrance of the room.

"In the meantime, my room is yours. And I believe we have an agreement for you to put up magical wards and barriers, both outside the room and around Farien and I, correct?"

"Well, we do, but come to find out, that's not something I even have the skill to do yet even if I wanted to." Jack said, shrugging. "That's part of what my disappearance involved."

"Well, then I guess it's up to the little lady how we proceed, then." Urien said, glancing over at Madeleine. Madeleine, to Jack's complete lack of surprise, was still face down in the furs on the bed, and was breathing slowly enough that Jack knew she was asleep.

"Looks like she's dead asleep." Jack said. He looked over at Rose, who was sitting in front of the dwindling remains of the fire in the fireplace. "What do you want, Rose?" He asked.

"At this point, I'm fine. I've gotten everything I needed." Rose said. "At this point I'm too tired to care."

"Agreed." Jack said.

He turned to face the two brothers, who were discussing something quietly between themselves, but stopped when he directed his attention to them.

"Just the room is fine. You're already doing plenty by helping us and letting us stay here, in my book. All I want now is sleep. I promise to give you details tomorrow when I no longer feel like I'm about to pa.s.s out.

"Well, fair enough, then." Urien said, smiling faintly. He motioned for Farien to follow him as he moved towards the fur draped over the room's entrance. "Sleep well. We will be in Farien's quarters should you need anything."

And with that, the two of them stepped out, leaving Jack and the girls alone in the low-lit room.
