But that didn't necessarily mean he knew the whole truth.
My thoughts immediately drifted to Mordra.
She had hidden a tracking method from both Caius' [Mana Detection] and a physical inspection by anchoring it outside normal space. If one person could accomplish something like that, there was no reason another couldn't.
I kept my eyes fixed on Razak.
"Does that mean..." I asked slowly, "...you're completely unaware of what's latched onto you?"
Razak's head snapped up, confusion spreading across his face.
That single question sent a wave of shock through the room.
Every pair of eyes immediately turned toward Razak.
Even Razak himself twisted awkwardly, trying to look over his shoulder, panic beginning to spread across his face.
Then Ariel's voice exploded inside my head.
"This is bad!"
The urgency in her tone made my heart skip a beat.
"The thing behind him is beginning to act!" she shouted. "Finish him off! Now!"
