"Then you'll never get me back," Tymon smirked.
Arne huffed with a low growl and a forced smile as they ran the sword through him in mostly restrained frustration. I levitated his body and placed him on a bed summoned from the digital pad on the wall.
I caught Michael looking at the sword as I pulled it out of Tymon. When he looked down at where he'd been stabbed, we both noticed a scar there.
"I supposed the wound that killed me will always remain with me," he stated as he touched it.
After that, we all just sat there and recharged a bit while waiting for Tymon to return. About twenty minutes passed when I saw Za'Fia approach Damien. She thanked him for not making Marlyn suffer.
"It wouldn't have been right to simply destroy her," he told her. "Even we struggled against them, what hope did she have? She also seemed to have been Ordered by Verin, so she couldn't have resisted anyway."
"If you knew she was Ordered, why kill her?" I asked.
"She begged me to," he replied, catching me off guard. "With her eyes. I think she wanted peace."
I looked down, not having a rebuttal, when Tymon suddenly jerked upright. His hand had been restored, and we noticed he had a chunk of his power back.
"Somehow, that seems unfair," Damien joked, lightening the mood as he held his wounds that weren't fully healed.
Everyone chuckled as they envied Tymon and Michael's powers when Arne and Naomi abruptly went still and looked alert. Arne dropped to the floor and spread a hand on it.
"Arne?" I called out curiously.
"I'm sensing a strong vibration in the ground. It's coming from...the direction of Avarice's lab."
Now agitated, my future sight instinctively activated, showing me an unexpected future. With little time to react, I yelled, "Everyone get down!" as the manor imploded.
--------------------------------------------------------
Fun fact: Eternal Life - a mystic cintracy that give's Michael's body the ability to quickly regenerate from any harm, even regrow limbs in a matter of minutes. With concentration, he can speed up his healing process to near instantaneous for short bursts of time. So long as this cintracy is active Michael is essentially immortal, making him impossible to kill and granting him eternal youth. (regeneration begins with the cintracy's indestructible core so if a limb is cut off, the limb won't generate its own body)
Though the cintracy's indestructible core is capable of healing Michael from nearly any physical injury, and can even go as far as to suspend his body in an indestructible membrane should an event where it cannot properly heal substantial damage done occurs, if Michael somehow actually reaches the point of death the cintracy cannot bring him back. (Michael nearly died this chapter but his cintracy's fail safe activated just before then)
