@DealdricMikkish looked to Slaen "We're chasing him because he might know something about whats going on. In fact, he might have been running for just that reason; because he knew we were coming."
When he heard both Dog and Vinashy speak, however, a sense of dread washed over him, which took him a minute to process.
"Maniacles? Come on, everybody knows about them..." He thought back to what he learned at the Academy, about different scenarios playing out in different universes. He had never actually believed it when he was told about it.
"I think you're right. Way bigger than Maniacles. Maniacles is a mercenary company that rules the world, so how none of you seem to know about them baffles me. Though this could have something to do with a spell that went wrong at the Academy. Regardless, we need real answers and not just theories."
But while everyone spoke,
They stalked the racks...
From the corner of his eye, Mikkish noticed one.
"I think we are in for another part." He said, raising his fists and buffing his strength and speed again.
