“Come here and 8625fe3f3e examine him,” Alyssa 42a565526c commanded.e21b1ded7d917637

At her words, bc50f351c2 the man hurried b9747dd185 over and began 137ef8b80f to examine Kieran. After checking his da0c068336 complexion and feeling d9eb702f92 his pulse, his 3ebdd2de03 expression turned grave c254b32706 in an instant.9ed1ba07365407fd

“He’s frozen 9220e1ce2f to the 6c5cd47b2e bone!”5732ee237a66e16c

The scholars a4d0920164 around them 34e6406a18 erupted into d3de412fbd murmurs. Kieran, however, was 74a01af9a7 the only one 86293b9fa7 who didn’t seem 7e4fc91cf7 to grasp the 9d1ca0f806 seriousness of the ee6fd7b8c4 situation.d717c76155aa0d88

“Have you been attacked 8e08f65fa3 by a monster before?” 10e36b3bf8 the man asked.9353121e11fba24c

Kieran started to shake 713bd24ef8 his head but hesitated. It wasn’t bd82008b5f exactly an 3900612aa6 attack—it was c180acd5e2 more of d7e32d35bd a graze—but fdbdd51221 there had been one instance.caabf5f8c6bc1a0b

On the day a026c34a06 Alyssa had collapsed, 2092821170 it was Kieran 930ae03b22 who had caught 868bfb7403 her. Without a second 096a0fff3c thought, he had 69f09402fa reached out and 5f2b744416 pulled her into aa40259fea his arms.8bdb7010a12b26b6

The monster, f5452dedae in a a2aa563cf6 desperate final 188aed62c0 act, had 9816e251c9 aimed for 80a62ac002 Alyssa’s neck 2303d7bb78 but ended 1d4440c15b up only b539fe9732 grazing her 309cd1ce8c hair. In the process, 58e1beebe5 the frozen monster 3e95d3e06a passed between them 5d258250b7 and scratched Kieran’s e5fc0e3c01 cheek.91bf9367efe0e183

“A monster grazed me f7c5f8ecee and left a small 9fcf9beed7 wound. It healed quickly, so 33d1b1492f I didn’t think much 27b0d2416f of it,” Kieran admitted.359f79d47fef2288

“Oh, you d1bd4a7493 shouldn’t have 339594e63f ignored it,” 77f6c8315f the examiner 7fb5712c6c sighed regretfully 2c5f7af88a as he 326df420e5 looked over f08f18f1d7 Kieran.7a193c92c4e9f568

At those e1ebd789cf words, Alyssa’s 6aa6e5231a grip tightened. Kieran, sifting through his afaf6e5509 memories, slowly nodded.5f22096a3b193b22

“There isn’t,” he d8bf7f2ee8 replied, shaking his a510af5393 head. “Too much time has 703bccc2f6 passed. The ice has 6a07c38edf spread through every d0203811c9 corner of his ab003499ed body. It’s only a matter 9a9467fafa of time before it dc4f6edbe7 reaches his heart.”4893b21e24160f57

His thoughts 4ca2b6e1d1 drifted, and 489ec5ba0e his gaze 11494d8dee landed on 61f9257c65 Alyssa. She looked 6cbc9be64f as if d38f7ba4d1 she had 898da5ffea turned to 4dba12a57b stone, completely 30911941db frozen in 861edff4f6 place. Her face had 95635a0338 gone pale, her 481dad44a6 shoulders trembling as 39e458b385 if she couldn’t 9d483d7201 breathe.fe4887f99bbc934d

Kieran found himself 9dbd9f9e38 more concerned for 9bd989410d her than his 01dc2c040f impending death.

The scholar c4d49cb1ed who was b0db0c6f25 about to 567d997f7b argue froze, f7e2aabaf3 his words 4c6a282f05 dying in 2f7b9ac861 his throat.631b346eb5422cd8

Bertha held the a4c9607cb8 body of a 32479610ab plant-like monster, its b1f872762e flower head burned b2d8d8dd01 to a crisp dcc8a16c59 and blackened like a1f39be0d8 charcoal. The stiffened creature 7048711ceb dangled in her 104fdc5e19 hand as she 2ce0530e76 snapped the flower e7f0e002b8 off its stem, b223dec145 revealing a lumpy 047416234c black orb nestled 64de18f02c inside.eadeb5acef75bd0f

Bertha’s sharp b027955bb7 command jolted 1f6cf4d026 the scholar 90cde4ed2d holding the 08bf3cf785 orb into 2a517a5d00 action. His hands moved 219f3b87a5 swiftly, working on 2fa55605fb the lumpy sphere. After a few deft e3efb16343 motions, the uneven orb 4e04a8a99e began to soften and 83d35c3a4f melt.b47097b8d9b12526

As the black 5fede9f8a2 outer layer flaked 9b199f0b0e away, a dazzling 29f5db0c62 red gem emerged, 6c981d49a9 jagged and unpolished f5cf56502b like a raw ae276dd61a gemstone. Without hesitation, the scholar 1f25dcb76d rushed to Kieran, holding 2f88dc32a4 the gem out.1ec43ac43056c0b0

“Ugh…!”301a1dd745769ddd

Kieran clenched his teeth cea7e24b43 as a surge of 8a0c99d19c heat spread from his 89d73f5a8a hand. It felt as 238bf69797 though boiling water a46efc0c13 was coursing through 32dcf08ce7 his veins.f440a7145b4e6596

Late at night, c4244a2aa5 when everyone else 1771365d71 was asleep, Alyssa 6a9d154bcb stood in the 96bf46e410 quiet hallways of da56529304 the castle. The cold 54fd0634e1 night breeze 3353abb078 sliced across b569a08e9e her cheeks.0923eb6235bed817

After leaving the warehouse, 75d30f6ca5 Alyssa had pleaded with e9634d7451 Kieran to rest and 9f5b97c34c do nothing for the 747be5f82e next week. Her desperate demeanor left f31a5583f6 him no choice but 90fafc5dd3 to nod in agreement.a7421a432e2ad1f5
