章 123: The Twins

After eating a couple of the stinging creatures himself, he felt a strange power welling up inside him and he noticed he was able to use his abilities for longer periods without tiring out.

Ophelia had also felt her strength growing in the same way, so she tried to 'compel' the lizard into following her.

However, when it didn't work and she learnt there were limits to what she could do.

Her abilities seemed to manifest differently from one creature to another. With her brother, it didn't make him do anything, he only reported feeling a sense of danger.

With the lizard, he simply blinked at her – seemingly laughing at her efforts. She was sure it wouldn't work on their leader, so she tried it on the spaded snake instead.

The result? The stubborn spaded snake went over to rest beside the lizard she so despised, only waking up when the lizard's large paw came to rest on her head.
