Chapter 9 Blood And Moonlight

• NYRA POV
• Inside the healing chamber, my physical body began to change. The flesh around the marks turned gray and soft, as if it were already rotting. The scent of decay reached even the sentinels outside. Healers whispered in fear. Some refused to enter the room.
• The third mark came upon me physically .It tore across my back and down my left side, black and wet-looking. The pain dropped me out of the air. My ghostly form hit the ground and stayed there, limp, one arm dragging uselessly behind me. I could no longer float with any strength.
