Chapter 389 - 389 Second Guardian (1/2)

Rex placed the second cigar down and patted his shoulder. ”It is okay. I will do what is needed.” He left the house and was at the entrance of the cave. This was where he saw his student but as much as he wanted to talk to her he has a job to do.

Ketan had drained the second last animal and was slightly going mad from the amount of blood and essence he was losing. ”Rex, how much longer?” Ketan held out his hand and sighed a little when he saw that vial. ”Thank goodness.”

”Yes, he agreed but it might also be part of the fact that he was almost killed.” Rex popped the cork off the vial and poured the contents into Ketan's mouth. He starts chanting and the black string forms. He tests the bond and sighs in relief.

Sylvie brought the last creature over and fed it to Ketan after the spell was cast. ”This is the last one left. If you think you will be okay then I will let Brielle know but if you need a little more than you can drink hers but remember not to drain her.”

Ketan didn't reply but shuddered at the thought of drinking her blood. ”I do not think that I will need it. My body is already adjusting as it should. It is hard though. My essence is building up five times faster than normal. Rex, will I need a partner to get essence from?”

Sylvie walked to Brielle who was watching from the entrance. ”You can come in now.”

Brielle clutches her hands together and enters the cave. ”Ketan, are you okay?” As soon as she gets closer she can see that he is slightly in pain.

”That is something that we will need to wait and see about, Ketan.” Rex stops her from getting too close. ”I know that you are worried but you need to stay back at least a little bit. I do not want your blood on my hands, Bree.”

”Teacher, you are here but you have no say in what I do and that is someone that has helped me out. You expect me to sit back here and do absolutely nothing while he is suffering?” Brielle pulls her arm away.

Kitty's mind eases and she finally stops drinking the essence. She leans against Ketan and whispers weakly, ”I am sorry.”

Ketan held up Kitty, ”you are not at fault.” He looks over his shoulder and holds out a hand to Brielle. ”It will be okay, Rex. The worst is over.”

Brielle runs over and takes Ketan's hand. ”Are you okay? It looked like you were suffering pretty badly. I did not know if it was okay for me to be here or not but Sylvie said that I might be needed.”

Sylvie went to Rex, ”you know that you are going to need to give her to Ketan. They have a connection that is going well. I did not think it would be okay myself but after some thought, I realized that they need each other.”
