"Whatever that kid is telling you is a load of bull," said Aiguo.
His second-in-command did not have to tell him that. He knew bullshit when he heard it, but he did not feel anything from his gut telling him that the child was lying by how she described it. "I know," he just said even though his mind was speaking otherwise.
"Magic?" repeated Bolin. "If there are cases, we would have known about it now."
"I mean," said Feng, "they spoke a lot about it, some medicine books that were created outside of the walls. But none of them had enough proof to be real."
Prince Qui thought about Igwan and her strange ways of 'communicating' with the souls and the dead and whatnot. She was also the 'doctor' of her tribe. He also remembered the nights that he and Tianshi Xue tried and followed Igwan's instructions but yielded no results with this 'magic.'
It's crazy! His mind screamed at him. There is no way that this is real.
