::He had finally broken his losing streak, and with great timing considering his new resolve. Not wanting to push his luck further that night, he left the arena and passing out of the inn after a brief stop by the kitchen, he slipped into some shadows. Withdrawing the Midnight Orb from the leather pouch at his belt, he let it fall ... seemingly through the ground,
being pulled after it he was soon back in his obsidian caverns where all was darkness. Being one to drop a funny phrase or three, even when no one was around to hear it...::
"Who robbed the sconce? heh he"
::A quick calculation of the time flow difference he realized it should be morning, and that he should be able to view the fire pit outside where he'd left Saralin the night before. The deer quarter from the RDI drops to the floor as he realizes the cavern was once again his prison and guard.:: "This is not possible, it hasn't had time to recover yet.... I can't do this again so soon"
::regardless of his own statement he brought back his arm and let the orb fly, awaiting the sound of shattering glass and the return of the orb for the next blow, completing one out of what in the past had taken thousands of hammerings and months of work while he was sustained directly by the orb. The orb did not return, there was no shattering of volcanic glass, instead a muffled impact is heard followed by the sound of small pebbles rolling.::
