I know better than to lie to the council. Everything in this letter is true, according to my perspective, if you get my drift." Wynn tied the paper with a piece of string, then fastened that to the raven's leg. "Deliver this to Anastasia of the Wild Hunt, please." The bird squawked and disappeared. "Now you need to keep your end of the bargain." "If I did not, I would be no better than any other silly god. You have your mortal friend. Go to his body, and awaken him."

It's against his nature. Wynn scanned him with her duel disk. He's alive, barely. What if I...? Very carefully, Wynn channeled some of her energy into him. Not Shadow Magic, but pure energy, straight from a harvested neutron star. Just a little should do the trick. I don't want to fry him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
