Lorelei didn't press any further. The issue at hand was too dangerous to be having an enlightening lecture.
She crouched next to him, her eyes never leaving Aden's body that was thrashing around the ground with such a feral expression it reminded her of the wildest beasts that resided in the most dangerous parts of the Void Realm.
'Just hold on for a little longer, Aden,' she pleaded internally.
