ALL NOVEL Loop 19 - Andy & Ralth
“Now tell me, are you still so unhappy to be surrounded by capybaras Andy?” Ralth passed Andy a fresh plate of fried shrimp after his question.
“No I suppose not. I can’t believe how well they cook though. How long did this take?” Andy ate several of the shrimp and chased them with a swig of soda.
“Most of them have been with me for a few hundred years. Once I settled down here and started cultivating the pool into a stronger form, they began awakening and forming this community.”
“Interesting, and their education was that all you as well?”
“I did have some help there, but once the library was fully assembled and the first of them learned to read and write it spread surprisingly fast amongst them.”
“Thank you for all your help by the way. As you’ve seen the dimensional cracks are stabilizing at the larger size, and with your notes this time around I think I can direct the mana pool to increase it yet again.”
“Next time, would it be possible to have sushi? I haven’t had any in years, and I bet I could eat a ton of rolls while we go over the diagnostics.”
“Yes of course, until next time.” Ralth raised his glass as the white flash enveloped the caverns.
