Julius was a little hesitant. What did Yanael know about the gem, the Daughter, or how anything related to the Underworld worked? And what was she planning to do by sticking the gem into a corpse?
But Yanael had only asked to be polite. The gem wasn't Julius's. He knew more than the other students, but he didn't have any sway over Yanael. So, she grabbed the gem with him being unable to do anything about it.
She then put it in the hole Ugor had dug out in her chest. She frowned.
The hole was too big, but she could sense some kind of activity coming both from the Daughter's dead flesh and the gem. She looked up and around the room. Her gaze finally settled on Julius.
"Can you call your Mannequin? I need to borrow it." Julius frowned and walked up to the hole. He sensed the same thing Yanael sensed, even if only because of his sensitivity to underworld energy. His eyes widened as he realized what Yanael was trying to do.
He nodded.
