บท 449: I Did What You Asked

Over the next five months, Irina suffered almost daily attacks. So much so that she was bedridden for her own safety.

Her dreams became nightmares. She saw horrible visions of monsters and demons crawling out from the dirt.

She saw wars and battles between friends and families. Men, women, and monsters alike all tearing each other apart.

Every time she closed her eyes, a new horror awaited her.

The nightmares continued even when the seizures finally stopped and the whispers returned.

She heard very little about what was happening in the chamber. She knew that Gorn had visited many times and that he had refused to let Cain return for several months.

When Cain was allowed back, he was allowed to study the chamber, but no samples were to be taken from the tree. He took all kinds of readings and measurements from the rest of the chamber. Eventually, he reported that it was a fae mound.
