After a long silence, Kyle massaged his temples. He wanted to curse, but the problem was, who should he curse? After all, he didn't even know who put the artifact in his body.
Bia sensed his discomfort, so she gently nuzzled her head into his neck.
Haylee observed the pair and then turned to Ris. His voice echoed within the chameleon's head.
'Is there any other way? I don't want the kid to die.'
Ris looked towards the boar.
'Have you become attached to him?'
Haylee paused, unsure of how to respond. Without even realizing it, spending time with Kyle had caused him to develop a subconscious care for him.
Ris closed his eyes.
'I am not certain if there is another way. However, you know my mind has problems. How about seeking advice from the realm guardian? He is a divine rank individual, and he might have better insight.'
Haylee nodded and looked over at Kyle. Without hesitation, he asked if Kyle would like to seek the guardian.
