Bab 141: What Is The Worst That Could Happen?

Healia turned to me with a bewildered look and panting after Sylia had wholly settled into her. 

I had guessed that it wouldn't be easy, but it looked like it had taken a lot out of her. I would have to consider that before I went searching for the ancients that were hiding here. 

That could also be the reason why none of them have approached me. I had spent some time alone walking and looking for new paths and fighting monsters to get stronger, but I felt like I was missing something.

"How do you feel?" I asked Healia as I focused on her.

"That was not what I expected. It was like my insides were getting scraped. When Drania did it to me, it was just pressure and not really painful, but this was not the same. Sylvia says that she needs to stay inside of me now for a while to let my body get used to her, but I will be able to use her abilities to a degree," Healia explained to me, and I nodded with a smile.
