He stepped within a pace ofme "It can be undone," he said with a shake of his head "Dear one, it is not too late"

"Yes it is! You can’t undo the fact that it happened, not without destroying asps He wasn’t even projecting terror at ht it forth "You’re the one who said it was too late, and now you sound like a psycho stalker" I pressed back against the potency barrier "I’o with you You can’t undo this"

Another aura Mzatal I vaguely felt his arm across my chest, but it was as if he was the dream and Rhyzkahl the reality Rhyzkahl sensed it too He looked beyond me then snapped his focus back to"You do not understand" He caught my face between his hands "Kara, all will be well I will take you away Away from here Away from the realm And you will be you and whole"

Mzatal was there, so teeth "I do understand" Though ripped Rhyzkahl’s wrists and tugged, seeking to get his vile touch off ive me over to Jesral and those other fuckers I understand you lied to o with you Get that through your blond head right now"

A whisper passed through my mind, and I knew Rhyzkahl read the truth of my words Good

His breath quickened He released h he still held me A stricken look swept over his features, and he shook his head, looking strangely lost

I felt Mzatal’s physical hold on me more clearly as well as his nonphysical touch "Rhyzkahl Leavehim away

He retreated another step

A flush of deterh ed over rateful chikdah" He spat the words and took another step back, visibly shaking in what could only be anger

I blinked in true surprise at the slur "Wow Yeah, dude A couple of pointers here if you want keep a girl First, don’t torture her Second, calling her ugly names is also a no-no" I held steady topresence of Mzatal "Get away froain"

"You think your savior’s hands are clean?" he asked with a short, cold laugh "You will see eh clearly, and I did so with ferocity I shook, there was no doubt about that But I also had no doubt that I could and would push this fucker away My fingernails bit into my pal

Rhyzkahl took a forced step back and growled an angry curse He turned his back on rasp and cast it aside You will bethe dreaasped and my knees buckled Mzatal held me securely from behind, his left aret ed to do so, then pressed the heels ofin demon as he half-carried me back into the bedchaed the sheet from the bed and draped it over me, then crouched and peered up into my face

"What was that?" he asked, naked concern etched in his features "I could only peripherally sense it"

"That was no dream This has happened before?"

"Yeah, shit A bunch of ti h When I died, the link was broken, but he hooked it right back up next time I summoned him The bastard"

Mzatal laid his hands over mine at my temples and eased the headache, then drewhis eyes from mine he called out to Gestamar "Have Idris prepare a purification noith the last quadrant open I will need to specialize it"

I heard Gestarunt from the other room Mzatal squeezed my hands "It would have been useful to know of this sooner"

I gave the lord a sour look "Well, he hasn’t done it in a long tih to know every fucking thing about oddamn brand of tampons I use"

Mzatal closed his eyes and shook his head "And understandable to draw that conclusion But this is so I could not detect, and even when active, I could not follow it"

That didn’t sound good "Can you get rid of it?"

"I gathered enough during the contact to localize it," he said, opening his eyes again and looking into h on what he said he’d do No reason not to trust hi will come later?"
