Chapter 42: Into The Winter Soul
Yana looked toward Vora as she stepped through the portal. They had both been injured rather badly, but the Dune Domain would heal and care for Vora—Yana, on the other hand, had to help herself or call on a pet. Anger welled up in her being, but before she could act on it, she was all the way through the portal. An indescribable pain ran through her body. It was as if someone were cutting her from the top of her head to her feet with a dull knife awash in lightning.
She crumpled to the ground just after the portal closed behind her. Then, the worst thing possible happened—Almawa's smug voice rang through her mind.
"You have failed to obtain Vora as your familiar. Your punishment will be the loss of one soul depth level."
Yana cursed under her breath.
"You have no time limit on the mission, but you only have three more chances to complete it, and each punishment for failure will be increased accordingly."
