Ominous plots

They meet back up at the abandoned base, not having anywhere else to go. Rein takes charge as usual.

“That went well, doesn’t seem like he noticed us as anything unusual. We’ll proceed after they finish construction. Let them get complacent.”

Rex nods. “Two new girls there though. One is that djinn. Never saw the other.”

“That’s fine. With the collar we can neutralize the mage, Count can handle the half-dragon, our wards handle the gorgon. The djinn is a strong magic user, but weak physically. You can handle her after I ground her. Whatever the sixth girl is can’t possibly be that threatening.”

Rex nods. “And the plan is still to have me collar him?”

“Correct. They don’t know your powers, so you should be able to do it by surprise. Remember, once it’s on, only you can unlock it unless they get a specialist, and as far as I know, there’s none in the new world.”

Rex grins, then turns to Count. “And you can handle the half-dragon, right big guy?”

The huge ogre nods. “I break dragon lady.”

Rein shrugs, “It would be nice to take her alive, motivation for the mage to cooperate, but either way is fine.”

“Not kill dragon lady?”

“If you can, but don’t risk it if you can’t.”

“I do my best.”

Rex chuckles. “So, now we wait, I guess.”

Rein nods. “Wait and prepare.”
