Mitchell Loughlin’s Reviews > The Blade Itself > Status Update

The leave stopping at a view but G is confused because they didn’t climb any steps. On there way back across the bridge they all start to feel the worry leave them. That is until they get to the bridge and find the guard telling them they have only been gone for 30 mins when it felt like hours

He had mentioned a crew going to the tower and coming back soon. We assume they failed because of the time but maybe not

B opens it and the falls shoots up into the sky revealing a room. The room continues two items. A small metal box of that L can barely lift, and what appears to be a weapon. B tells of how the maker used it to kill many. Despite having no blade he claims the blade is in the other side and that nothing can protect from it. Kindof shard blade adjacent.

Inside the tower is massive, way larger than it appears on the outside. The floor is a map of the world, the walls shoot up into infinity with no dealing in side. They also continually move, all the coooridors look identical. B guides them yelling if someone falls out of his path. At this point G is convinced of who he is but not why he is here. J is just scared. They reach a wall with another key hole

G, B, J, and L all approach the house if the maker. There is one man guarding the outside which is a disappointment to B as there used to be 50. They cross over a thin bridge and everyone besides B feels a looming terror. It is an a chamber placed on the door in thin script that is causing it. Edginess call
It the breath of the maker. B uses his “key” to open the door which reminds me of the Skyrim claw puzzle

B tells them that he has worked in the government a few times in secret over the years naming two highly regarded servants.

This is not enough for S. He demands proof and evidence of the key. B pulls out a long chain from under his tunic and on it is a black bar of metal. He claims he will open the tower tomorrow and asks G and J to be there when he does. Perhaps he picked up on the animosity

The king himself is alseep.

Logen and west talk, west has hired of The Bloody Nine but Logen denies it’s him. He tells west all about the construction of Bethods army and that that he will be no slouch.

Glotka keeps shooting daggers at J because he knows he cheated.

Sult puts on a play about B which pisses B off
He then straight up accused B of being a fraud and asks for proof

Looks tells duly about the letter he found in the college and silt starts plotting some way to reveal that Bayaz is a fake. He asks for g to bring his inquisitors to a banquet in jayez honnor.

At the dinner J is bored. He was expecting to be showered in praise but everyone seems to be focused on themselves . The prince and his fiancé are fighting viciously and without care of there audience

Just as he is about to lose the energy is back and he wins. He is beyond exhausted but victoreous. Borst lifts him into the air to celebrate his victory and congratulates him for winning fair and square. lol.

Bayez congratulated him for a magical preformance and says they will talk.

The king thinks he is his own son and hugs him, telling him his other son is a fool.

J is beyond embarrassed

The best of 7 is quickly down 3-0 when all the sudden j feels this new energy. He is faster and stronger then moments before, he no longer feels the pain from before either.
Another pov switch to Glotka who knows something is fishy. He looks around and spots bayez and knows something is wrong.
Logen accuses B of cheating.
The score tied 3-3 B relaesss the spell and J is all the sudden on the back foot again

It’s the start of the final bout in the contest. L and b are watching from the side a make a wager. L is convinced boost is going to win.

First time we had a POV switch mid chapter he now see jayezs view excited and nervous. All that vanishes when the fight actually begins. He is Wayyy outclassed. The weight of borst’s steal is too much to handle and he shows no sign of tiring
