"For any divine beast, drawing a little blood should not harm them since flesh wounds heal fast, but this is not the case for the captives, since whenever a black magic spell is casted using their blood, it shortens the lifespan of the source.
"I suspect whoever that Black Witch is using as a source must have died or must be on the verge of death, that is why she is in search of a new divine power source."
Aurus felt this theory was reasonable. "How pitiful. I feel sorry for whoever she captured. Do you have any idea who that might be? Those with divine bloodline are rare, and Agartha has a small population, so I guess you will know if there is anyone missing from your kingdom."
The elf shrugged. "I can't tell. There are also supernatural beings not living in Agartha like you. Last I heard, your mother is the last known divine beast who left the kingdom."
"My mother is dead. That Black Witch killed her."
