Nereid chuckled. "It might be . . . faster if I show you."
A flicker of her hand and a small stream of water fell in front of Ryu. It turned to Crystal and showed the hidden secret of what he wanted to know.
Nothing.
There was nothing there but the coarseness of his back.
"That can't be." Ryu sprawled her palms against the stretched of his spine of what his hands could reach. There was nothing there but bumps from his muscles and bones.
"It's because you're sealed," Nereid said, and the pentagrams inside Ryu reflected on her crystal blue orbs.
"Sealed?" It was also what Ferris said to him. It was the reason why he couldn't use mana. "How do I break it?"
Nereid straightened her back and soothed her eyes on the light of the cave as if she was looking at something. "The answer . . . lies in the Beast Realm."
That again? Ryu scowled. "Can't you answer me now?"
