“Come here and b95b1ecebf examine him,” Alyssa 3de5bbd21c commanded.dad225cbd510d33b

At her words, the 064f843ccb man hurried over and 57f66cc701 began to examine Kieran. After checking his complexion b9a8db37bc and feeling his pulse, d0ededf64f his expression turned grave d6daf606e8 in an instant.7477162593947202

The scholars around them faca0e9009 erupted into murmurs. Kieran, however, was 2a538ce343 the only one b2ba8a9012 who didn’t seem 2ab15b8a96 to grasp the 3390c749f4 seriousness of the a2ff2070f4 situation.1f3b42fe35b2a285

“Have you c4968a5aa5 been attacked a1d3d6dd32 by a 40aead1b51 monster before?” ef1447e287 the man 7f251a1236 asked.98dbf023aab6673a

Kieran started cf37197e73 to shake f9dd8c9da5 his head 66b2fdb5a6 but hesitated. It wasn’t exactly an 1c74763a5c attack—it was more of ee57ec20d6 a graze—but there had been one instance.bbdfaa383c65886a

On the day e5abba2f14 Alyssa had collapsed, 56df9e577f it was Kieran 4eb1bacad8 who had caught 7df25534d9 her. Without a 5907a298c4 second thought, 3e00137744 he had a2fd1dff36 reached out ed5880e3fd and pulled 50e48a459c her into 3b78bb70ab his arms.7bccd6e27177268d

The monster, 472e305d49 in a 623b8e45e5 desperate final fc719b2440 act, had 8ce620ec7c aimed for e501001f40 Alyssa’s neck 3a8408a129 but ended c8be0c80c6 up only b2f5dcb0c6 grazing her 873166ae8b hair. In the 39ea04592d process, the 99f316eec1 frozen monster 3e53a6bbb6 passed between 46c543d030 them and 04f80b22f8 scratched Kieran’s c4a8e1140b cheek.65941631be608465

“A monster grazed me cd62190780 and left a small faeb74fe6e wound. It healed quickly, 4bb96ca3cf so I didn’t e8c3faa62f think much of 1201ba5b52 it,” Kieran admitted.5e4e53ad35d5cc1d

“Oh, you fcf8247716 shouldn’t have e4fbc4588b ignored it,” 6e92d6c4da the examiner b33eb8e91a sighed regretfully fcba735200 as he d416a23c78 looked over dc682204a9 Kieran.bd8fd6c648375a2f

“There isn’t,” he replied, 898ea449d1 shaking his head. “Too much 8c39952590 time has c9445e586a passed. The ice b945c19932 has spread d3f28aefa3 through every 36c43162ec corner of 2f7b71269b his body. It’s only a matter eda6f6287c of time before it 6f3ca3b904 reaches his heart.”660b78bbaef8de32

His thoughts de9149246c drifted, and 7cc4a75407 his gaze a529a73aad landed on 1e8d2bb70a Alyssa. She looked as if e5803e4a83 she had turned to 0ae1863fa0 stone, completely frozen in 702277230c place. Her face ac9d7e1ca1 had gone 5d6b503c03 pale, her c75e1010b6 shoulders trembling 077693b6a3 as if df5f10bfb7 she couldn’t 19f9e0104c breathe.71c08cc1d442e2bf

Kieran found 59de7da2b6 himself more 10ed94545f concerned for 09c7c4c6cc her than f1391204a6 his impending 40bb98922b death.

The scholar who 575f9da578 was about to b845c62f1a argue froze, his 1c05ee91f2 words dying in 11401d1cbd his throat.220b3cecbc78bec9

Bertha held the body b89c6e40a0 of a plant-like monster, 61b2fc27a9 its flower head burned ac69969171 to a crisp and d60208e89e blackened like charcoal. The stiffened creature db90d0b4d0 dangled in her dce8138168 hand as she cc8ee54448 snapped the flower 033c55e548 off its stem, 79008a148f revealing a lumpy 58776876bd black orb nestled 7e07249ceb inside.72e9802628625d82

Bertha’s sharp 2df40a46ab command jolted 621edb8954 the scholar 31acbcce88 holding the ac0a1788f6 orb into f29f828730 action. His hands moved swiftly, cdc869b3b0 working on the lumpy 32b2f8f2a8 sphere. After a few 7fb9975f38 deft motions, the ec2f40bbcb uneven orb began caebe99045 to soften and 09056a6105 melt.42dbdc6d0668f5be

As the 7d16bda1db black outer 6fabf8253f layer flaked a2eb3125f3 away, a b617fccdbb dazzling red 3919c16ebb gem emerged, 9ec99e8d87 jagged and ed63bfdc18 unpolished like 978653c5e9 a raw b929b1c5c2 gemstone.

Placing the gem on 62e632210c the back of Kieran’s 758a66cf7c hand, it started cool 6ea55184a6 but rapidly grew hotter, 1c7dcc922b eventually melting and seeping 3a90652945 into his skin.59600ff8af4d3104

Late at 3a96862ac5 night, when 38b82814cb everyone else b14f707eef was asleep, fe8ce75d2d Alyssa stood 1c3b6d78ac in the 8c70205468 quiet hallways cec8fb36e4 of the a76718095b castle. The cold night d190265e43 breeze sliced across b789010eb6 her cheeks.74c4e58df65091eb

After leaving the warehouse, dfc2da0a47 Alyssa had pleaded with f1c3097939 Kieran to rest and 57350b610b do nothing for the 2de947f3f5 next week. Her desperate demeanor left 5d4556f691 him no choice but 654660b9a1 to nod in agreement.6eda4fc11c28aaea
