Looking at Kassie falling all of a sudden did not assist my hope in the best of ways. After all, my shameful act had been one of support to supply her with more essence for her to finish off the creature.
All of a sudden she was inside.
'This is bad.'
Without wasting a moment, I released one chain, letting it blur through the space and grab her. Then it retracted, drawing her back to me.
She glanced down at the sea of darkness, and turned her head upward. Somehow, something dropped on her face.
She wiped it off with her index finger, and curiously examined what it was with her thumb, the thing was somewhat greasy on her hand.
She tilted her head left and right, still trying to figure out what it was.
In the midst of that, another fell on her face, and this time she really saw where it was falling from. Instantly her face contorted with disgust.
"You vile…"
