Chapter 89: The Yellow Sign!
The stars shone yellow today.
Kai looked at them in pale awe. From constellations to constellations, even the brightest blue star looked sickly blurry. Only one star was beaming red, almost outdoing even the distant moon in brightness.
Like the eye of some demon, that red star glared back at him.
Kai looked away.
They had been waiting to see her for a long time. So, the moment he saw a wisp of silvery mist coming out of the ground and then going back in, he smiled. There was a wooden stick in his hand, using which he kept tapping the ground with a predetermined rhythm.
Soon Selene found them and lunged at him.
Kai couldn’t have afforded to go for her in the port’s region, so he had pointed one direction to her to come to after the task was over. The tapping took care of the rest. He wondered what tale Selene would have in store for him.
I hope whatever Meg’s doing behind my back is a reason enough for the System to allow me to kill her, Kai thought, as Selene solidified in her material form.
His thoughts solidified along with her.
When Kai held her, he found her trembling, burning with fever, and her left eye swollen, bleeding with red and yellow pus-like blood. She coiled herself into his embrace as if something was chasing her, some natural predator who hadn’t existed before, but now did.
"What happened to her?" Petyr asked, standing in the shadows of the trees.
