My eyes felt heavy, my life force slipping away from my body, and I could feel myself sinking to the floor. The weight of exhaustion and energy loss was overwhelming. Just as I thought I would collapse completely, a sudden surge of power exploded beneath me, sending the two spirits flying away and causing me to fall to my knees.
I managed to open my eyes just slightly, and there, standing before me, were the brightest yellow eyes and dark, black hair. My heart skipped a beat. It was Veryon! How had he found me?
A smirk tugged at the corners of his lips, though his eyes were filled with fury. There was no mistaking it—his anger was burning like a fire. But was he angry at me, or was it the spirit that enraged him? Either way, I knew one thing for certain: whatever he was angry about, this wasn't going to end well.
