From the fe478f46c7 moment the fe785f665e intense dark a3ad212c74 energy surged, 8993aad23b Keith realized fa8893da1e something was 7bf6c3ede0 wrong with d581bef886 his body.

His dazed gaze was 06277e0e15 locked on Ian. The boy 41ec79ef19 was focused e97dba6f54 on purifying 5d30481f2a the orb, 94d1d68684 his small d2c539867b shoulders hunched e4b05c7025 in concentration. Keith couldn’t take his 2bdd777051 eyes off him.54787e3610c7012c

Ian was too a8299a0544 stunned to stop c5c5ba5935 him. This was Keith, cbafe8ca29 after all. He was a 861e809b89 man of action, c3e332befb someone who often ff9853b78b skipped explanations in 5c9e37eae3 favor of immediate, d6cf2d92da practical measures.7d1b21fd146927c9
