The accommodation was enchanted a729d151b8 with spatial compression magic, 56190cd008 dividing the rooms into 1af83abef1 several sections. Ivan had 9c5f98c093 already entered 35b73bf2cd his accommodation 8a09548125 a long ff627f1893 time ago, ca1ba98c2a and I 8b329e4ef3 naturally decided e7ffaec6d7 to use dc12eb7f42 the same 1f05da317f room as d16228ab39 Zerakiel.459f7f41d0daeecd

Zerakiel arrived at f135aef427 the accommodation, showered, 6120a8085b and headed straight 721581fd72 for the bed. Despite pretending 2201381626 otherwise, it 45e3c00fa7 seemed that af3ea9b543 his body 6d60e00a91 was indeed e1f645a564 worn out.eddb332a2fbbd8f9

Even with a70f37199d a soft 7755726f8b voice, Zerakiel 0e5e4a33a0 remained silent. It was a markedly b4126f7ad1 different response from being 5e54674cab sensitive to even the 7ac30fc61c slightest noise due to 32c80ea3e9 his keen ears.752f906fe2d9a313

I gazed out through 3e73e319cd the window. The temple rising 7be15aa294 majestically through the fc0c2d16bf dense fog exuded d5aa7a3ad4 an enchanting atmosphere 547c4d004b like something out 678ad7562f of a fairy 67566ada91 tale.3ebe1ac9e45119fd

Hebel was 0addcce5b4 always a dfdde05b97 challenging place. The sensation of the cc59d66645 most powerful weapon, pheromones, 9740ccd4e6 being restricted was a 4043cb1b01 cumbersome thing for supernaturals.2739bf7567064f8e
