Bab 476: Calm (Ch.477)

 Tara was quiet for a moment, just staring at Neveah and then she said something that was completely off topic.

"Your eyes...they won't stop glowing..." Tara pointed out quietly.

Neveah exhaled heavily, her eyes going closed. She leaned her head back and timed her breathing, hoping to ease her mind so that foreign presence would retreat.

And after a moment, it did...but just when Neveah was going to pull her mind block up against it, she heard the final whisper of that haunting voice.

"You cannot block me out forever, Omega... I am a part of you now, and I always will be..." Said the voice, it's words echoing in Neveah's mind as it retreated to the back of her mind.

Neveah breathed a sigh that was part relief and part wariness.

 Relief that this episode had passed without getting too far, and wariness because she knew well enough that all that voice had said was nothing but the truth.
