Unfortunately…

Mel was dragged back before the magic could fully come into her body..

“Nice job there Princess, but we’ll take it from here!!” Said A Fire Walker grabbing Mel and the Obelisk..

“Hey what are you—- Ahhhh!!!”

Fire Walkers approached the defiant slaves as the fire walker holding his prize smiled..

“Keep those slaves under control, in fact get them on some leashes!!” He said smugly..

After a while, the two of them made it to Redip’s office where he inspected the Obelisk..

“It’s cracked, but repairable, and you say the princess found it?” Asked Redips looking at Mel who just stared at them both angrily..

“Actually it was me, I made sure to help her and—“

“Hehehe look here you fool, if I want to hear some heroic story about how you found it, I’ll ask Mel whenever, get back to your post!!”

“Wait….. don’t I get a reward?!”

“……. 30 minutes…… 30 minutes is how much spare time you’ve earned from this small but helpful act!!”

“Umm yes sir!!”

The Fire Walker left as Redips looked at Mel..

“Poor little fool, sometimes I wonder if my elites really know their place within my company, no matter, Mel….. I suppose you’re begging for a reward as well for “helping” my fire walkers find such a powerful artifact!!”

Mel thought and shook her head No only for Redips to give a chuckle..

“Ohh come now, no need to be so modest, besides I want to make it up to you for taking your good eye!!” He said almost in a condescending tone..

Mel watches Redips exit his chair and walk over to her..

1.) He removes her muffler gag..

2.) He gives her a book that belonged to her parents..

3.) He takes her off to R&D and shows her the DarkBase as they prepare a special experiment for her..
