Difference between revisions of "Summary:Shadows of Self"

Wax and Wayne return home. Darriance informs Wax that [[Ranette]] had been by and had left some equipment for him to test. Wax briefly talks to Steris, who reminds him about [[Lady ZoBell's party]]. She informs him that someone tried to kill the governor, but she has it on good authority that he's still going to attend. Wax decides he will need to talk to the man who tried to shoot him. They head out in a carriage driven by the new guy, [[Hoid]]. Wax puts in his earring, wondering if it had been made by killing someone, to which a distinct voice replies, startling Wax. [[Harmony]] talks to him, telling him that a [[kandra]] (now known as the Faceless Immortals) named [[Paalm|Bleeder]] is wearing the body of Bloody Tan and is the culprit behind the murders. He tells Wax that he can't stop her because she is only using one Blessing at a time, meaning she's mad, but unable to be controlled by Harmony. Wax discovers Harmony can read his thoughts, and Harmony explains that he can while the earring is in. Preservation enables him to hear Wax; Ruin enables him to speak to him. Harmony also explains that his hands are tied, and he's not able to track Paalm down himself. Hence his plea for Wax's help, though Harmony is promising to send help. During this talk, Harmony also tells Wax that he might have made life too easy for the people. He mentions some technological advancements, like radio and aviation, that they haven't bothered to discover. Harmony tells Wax to be less harsh with Marasi who is also Harmony's agent on [[Scadrial]].
