Reign sighed as he sensed the soul of the kobold leave his body. He didn't hesitate to take it, as he did for most of the kobolds that had died during the battle.
As he did so, however, he sensed something.
The soul was being drawn over below the ground.
He hadn't sensed that happen to the other souls, not because it didn't occur with them, but because he had been engrossed in fighting and Aethion was the one that would help him take the souls of the dead kobolds.
Neither one had noticed it as the pulling force from below was not really strong, but if Reign wasn't here to take the souls, they would have slowly been drawn below the ground.
'The artifact, is it taking the souls of the dead?' Reign asked in his head as Aethion stared solemnly.
"It does seem so, of course, there could be a monster below that can devour souls, we can't remove that possibility for now, but if there is no such monster, then it's probably the artifact."
