"What kind of death curse?"
Mericel says "Why would you agree to something like that?"
Leyla says "How awful!"
Alannis says "I am the last of the Heath line, if I die the family ends. So I did whatever it took to stay alive. If I hadn't accepted the curse the king would have had me executed. The curse was placed on me by a priest of the death goddess."
"Wait, the curse is from Krenocia?"
Alannis says "That is correct."
Mericel says "Klein, do you think you can do something?"
"Maybe. I can certainly try."
Alannis says "What are you talking about?"
Mericel says "Klein has a relationship with Krenocia."
Leyla says "What kind of relationship??"
Alannis says "With the goddess of death?"
"Settle down you two, it's not that kind of relationship!"
Mericel giggles while Leyla blushes, Alannis just looks at me like I am insane. I close my eyes and create the same forest clearing in my mind.
