"Adyr, if you don't start speaking clearly, I'm going to assume you actually have a plan to subdue Collossith," Liora said, her expression a tangle of disbelief and suspicion.
The idea was absurd—ridiculous, even. A Rank 2 Practitioner subduing a Rank 4 Spark? Still, something about it stirred a strange, quiet curiosity in her. After all, this was the same boy who had managed to repel Collossith while he was still Rank 1.
But pushing a monster back and subduing it were worlds apart—heaven and hell divided by a line no one crossed.
"I actually do," Adyr admitted after a moment of thought, voice calm but thoughtful. "Though I'm not entirely sure it'll work. I recently awakened another bloodline talent… and I think it might help you."
"You did what?"
Liora shot to her feet, all composure gone. Her wide eyes locked onto Adyr's unbothered face, completely stunned.
She's really short.
