Miret left and the others returned to the shed to find Severin trembling on his seat, his face pale and blood slowly trickling from his mouth and ears.
His eyes were rolled into their sockets and his muscles rigid, a faint red aura covered him.
His team stood stunned for a while and then they rushed him. They checked him and found nothing unusual, no wound on his body.
They lay him to the ground and watched in horrified silence.
Did Miret do anything to him?
But there was no time to go after the man, and if they did go after him, what would they do?
Serena went outside first and made a dome of ashes and embers around the shed. Then the others focused their attention on him.
Ethan removed something from his spatial ring, a pill that he tossed into his mouth. They watched in grim silence as it was forced down Severin's mouth.
And he stopped moving.
Everyone froze.
Then they turned to Ethan with casual slowness.
