"So, it's leeching off you?" Za'Fia remarked.
"Yeah, but at the rate it's taking, my energy reserves will replenish themselves no problem."
"What do you do with it now?" Michael inquired.
"Well," I shrugged. "It seems to be bonded with me now, so I can't get rid of it."
"Wow...there's so much that I need to log. Historical pieces that could make sense now...," the specialist was ecstatic, eager to return to his studies.
"I bid you all a good day," he said as he rushed off to an office in the archive room.
"I've had enough of this place. Let's leave," I stated as I started walking toward the exit.
While leaving, Viraa spoke to me.
You did not tell them everything the stone shared with you. Do you intend to keep its second name and desire a secret?
If I tell them, they'd just worry about me at every obstacle, I answered back. Besides, despite its desires, I'm not going to do it...
I recalled the stone whispering its second name to me, the Stone of Malevolence. Apparently, I was compatible with half its nature, which I would be rewarded for after it had enough of my energy, but it wouldn't let me access its full capabilities, whatever those were, until I fully awakened it by committing a merciless kill.
I'll never kill someone in cold blood, I continued. That's not who I am.
