“Deek, don’t give it to her!” Eliana cried out, but her voice was cut short as Kaia pulled back her hand and grabbed Eliana’s neck.

“I will kill her!”

“Stop!” I held up my hands. “I’m working on it…”

“No games! Don’t even think of using some hidden skill. We’ve already accounted for them. The fey has been dealing with your kind, so-called heroes, for longer than you can imagine.”

“I understand…” I spoke slowly. “I need to just… detach the lore.”

It had been nearly an hour of work that I wasn’t having to backpedal on. I had barely scratched the surface of this lore, yet, I now had to pull apart and give the core away.

“Deek… don’t worry about me.” Eliana cried out.

“It’s not… just you…” I closed my eyes, feeling an extremely bitter feeling inside.

Eliana gasped as if she had forgotten at that moment, her hands reflexively protecting the baby. Kaia’s eyes looked down, and then her smile grew even larger.

“Oh, is it yours? How wonderful! To think, I would have one of your relatives in my hands like you had with mine. Should I give them the same treatment?” As she spoke, a cruel look appeared on her face and the knife dropped down to her abdomen.

“Stop. I will give it to you.” I held out my hand.

I could still barely move. I was doing everything I could to undo the lore. I had started to do it as soon as I saw things going south. Sweat was pouring down my face, but it was all I could do to stay sitting upright. The other girls were shooting Kaia a dark look. She merely shrugged, waiting for me. We remained in those positions for nearly two minutes.

“Deek… I can’t… I can’t heal this.” Anne sounded a bit surprised but also worried.

Cici was on the ground and the miasmic infection was still growing. It covered her stomach and chest now. Anne was doing everything she could to hold it back, but she didn’t seem to be able to stop it. It reminded me of the same difficulties I had the first time I encountered karmic infections. It wasn’t enough to just wash away the darkness. One needed to be able to manipulate the lore itself to fix the problem.

“It’s fine,” I spoke slowly. “Everything is fine.”

I reached into my soul world and slowly pulled out the orb. When it appeared in my hand, there was a gasp from several people. Eliana shook her head, a look of shame on her face.

“So, you can be reasonable.” Kaia smiled. “Roll it over here.”

“Master…” Alysia looked my way.

“My lord.” First looked uneasy.

“It’s okay. I know what I’m doing…” I put the orb on the ground. “Release her.”

“The orb first.” She declared.

I took a deep breath, and then tossed the orb. “Switch Position.”

Of course, Eliana was in my party. I thought about switching before I through the orb, but I needed them to be distracted. As their eyes followed the orb, I would… do nothing. Kaia caught the orb. Rather, it stopped and flew to her hand with some kind of magic or skill. As for Switch Position, Eliana was still in the same spot, and so was I.

“Were you expecting a different outcome?” Kaia raised an eyebrow. “I told you, Deek, there is nothing you can do we haven’t already figured out.”

“Release her!” I demanded, forcing my way to my feet as I slowly started to regain my energy.

“I did promise.” She responded. “But just her.”

“What?”

Her expression turned dark. “This is what it feels like to lose.”

She repositioned her grip on the knife and slammed it into Eliana’s stomach.
