Selina~Raymond tensed. The key in his chest pulsed more strongly. The thread between us responded to Kael’s presence. It grew denser. More alive. Yet I also sensed the danger. This man was old. Powerful. And he had once borne a key himself. What did he want now?Kael looked at me. His shattered, mirror-like eyes slid over the thread. Then over the key in Raymond’s chest.You sacrificed what bound you together. That is why the thread is pure. That is why the soul lies open. That is why the Master wants you both. I can bind the Eye temporarily. I can make it harder for the Master to access the key. But only for a short time. And only if you allow me to touch the thread. The price is high. I am broken. Every touch takes a toll on me. And perhaps costs you more than you have left.The true Master laughed. The sound came from the tunnel and the Eye at once.He is lying. He wants the key for himself. He wants the thread. He is just as hungry as I am. Trust him, and you will lose everything
