The Price of Awakening (Part 1)

"One more thing. You should strip." Lith said.

"Say what?" Phloria blushed from head to toes and so did Nalrond.

"The Skinwalker armor can shapeshift, but your body is about to get turned inside out, then unraveled and woven back multiple times so fast that the armor can't keep up. Taking your clothes off will spare you a lot of pain and make the body refining easier."

"And you will watch? Like the whole time?" Phloria asked.

"I'm a Healer." Lith felt slightly offended. "I helped Tista Awaken, I've treated countless women, and I've seen you naked in the past, so why so shy?"

"What about them?" She pointed at the others.

 "Fair point." Lith brought everyone but Phloria back to the Mirror Hall.

"Hey, it's nothing we haven't seen countless times and I want to make sure Phloria is alright." Quylla said.

"Then, you should ask her permission. Otherwise, only Solus and I will keep Phloria company." Lith said.
