Sword God in a World of Magic

"King Skythunder gave his permission to distribute the Star Map," Duke Whirlwind proclaimed with a victorious smile to George and Shang.

He told them all about what had happened and what changes would occur in the next couple of days.

However, Shang and George only felt relieved.

This made things so much easier.

"That's good to hear, Duke Whirlwind," Shang said.

When Duke Whirlwind heard that, he did a double take. "Duke Whirlwind?" he asked.

Shang raised an eyebrow.

"Shang, I thought we were closer than that," Duke Whirlwind said. "Just call me Jerald."

"Oh," Shang said. "I wasn't sure if that was appropriate."

"You are no longer subservient to me, Shang," Jerald said. "We are on equal footing, and we are working towards the same goal. Our powers might still be quite far away from each other, but it will only be a matter of time."

"I've seen how determined you are, Shang, and I know that you might become the very warrior to completely close the gap and maybe go even further."

Shang wasn't sure what he should say to that.

Yes, that was his goal, but it felt a bit weird hearing it come from someone else.

It sounded unreal.

Jerald, George, and Shang talked for a while longer. They had to plan how to properly distribute the Star Map and how they should teach the warriors.
