Chapter 469: 1 year has passed (2/2)

Things were going so well for the Redwings lately, and a lot of that was because they knew they had such a strong king backing them. What was spread, however, was their position. How they had won sharing the prize.

Which was a bit strange in itself, but they had to give some details out, so the others wouldn't; get suspicious. They were sure eventually travelling merchants would bring forth the real news.

After the meeting was done, Sylvia had gone to meet with Lenny and Bliss in the newly formed Magic academy. It was small and really was only a single building, this was because there weren't many students, to begin with.

At the moment, it was more used as a research lab by the two of them. Rather than a school to train students.

”I was wondering if you could do something about this?” Slyvia asked, taking off her eyepatch showing what was underneath the two of them.

They asked Slyvia several questions and compared it with the shadow extract that they had from the shadow continent land. They also needed to extract some from her eye, which was an extremely painful process, but Slyvia bore thru the pain.

Finally, it looked like Bliss and Lenny had some results.

”First let me give you some good news. If it's about getting rid of the shadow in your body. Then it is possible using the same method as we have done with the land. As for the bad news. There is no longer any solution. Until we are able to create some more, you will have to live with it.”

In her head, Bliss was wishing Ray was here right now. Although his blood wasn't pure. There was a chance it could do something, the closer he got to become his former self.

”There is more bad news,” Lenny said. ”The shadow you are infected with, and the shadow the continent is infected with is different. Although similar, it is clear they share different properties and different hosts. When the shadow is removed, it usually rises up and joins with any other shadow closest, before heading back to where it once came from. But your shadow, it reacts, dfifferently, it doesn't like the other shadow.

”Our guess from everything you told us, if the Empire was able to find a way to create an artificial source of the shadow. The creature currently acting as the host would be the Ant creature you talked about. It was why your body had such a strong reaction when you met it.”

Hearing this was the worst news of them all Sylvia thought. They were already having enough trouble dealing with the regular shadow. If by accident, the Empire had created a new enemy, she feared things would start to get a lot more complicated around the place.

More than that, she was worried about Ray.

'I know you're alive.'

Deep in the Shadow continent, wearing his gauntlet on one hand. A figure was seen staring at a large cloak. He was in a dark room with no one else inside, and he just stood there waiting. The clock itself had been built into the crummy workmanship of the castle.

Then finally it had ticked over.

*Dong *Dong

The bell went, as it was the start of a new day.

”Ray, a year has finally passed, it's time we meet again, my dear friend,” Gary said.
