Bab 96: Raising the dead

LANCE

At the bottom of the spiral stairs, we can hear the howls of beasts. They're getting close. We look at each other. Magnus signed we keep going. I nod. The end is drawing near. There's a strange yellow light dancing at the top.

Magnus fired two or three questions to Seven, she didn't answer. Her voice was silent in our head. We take it, talking is done. Time to drill some action. I still can't get a clear grip about the new revelation she spoke to us.

Switching souls? My Dad didn't actually absorb my blessing? Then what was all that taunting Lista has done to me? Was it for his ego satisfaction to watch me suffer? Or to push me on edge so I'll go back getting stronger?

But one thing is for sure. Their betrayal is certain. What Seven said had only glazed their intentions. Shift the weight of their sin to this Dark Elf guy. Still, it didn't change anything. Magnus reached the top first and do a somersault to kick off the lid.
