"He did what?" Rosalind could not hide her surprise in her voice upon hearing Belisarius's words.
"He took away the blessing that was given by the goddess and used it to revive your soul. In the end..." Belisarius uttered. "Blessings no longer exist in this continent."
"I— All of them?"
"All of them."
"The seven families?"
"Yes."
"Are they going to receive the blessing in the coming generations?" she asked.
"Who knows?" Belisarius asked.
"Then... then what of the beasts?" Rosalind asked.
"How would I know?"
Her jaws dropped.
"That demon was well known for his selfishness. Do you really think he... somehow thought about the humans that the seven families had been protecting when he did what he did?" Belisarius asked. He took some of the tea and drank it. "His greed knows no bounds."
