Chapter 13: A Little Experiment
If I was going to be among those who passed the exam, it was something I needed to know. I turned my attention to Luna.
"Luna, I need you to hold his hands."
"I-I—w-why?!"
Her voice trembled, as she began to hyperventilate. She clutched her chest and stepped back even further.
"Get a hold of yourself. If you can’t do it, then get one of your curses to."
She looked at me with a pleading expression, on the verge of tears.
"Please don’t force me to do this."
Before I knew it, tears were streaming down her face, and she slowly backed away to the back of the cave. I took off my mask and stared into her eyes, making sure to articulate every word I said.
"Luna, take hold of his hand."
I didn’t need to spell it out; even a moron would know what would happen if she didn’t listen. Seeing she didn’t have any other choice she held out her trembling hand and muttered a phrase.
"Come forth."
