A faint smile touched Lidien's face as he watched his hands repeatedly close and open.
Then...
As he remembered his prior goal, to get outside of the Rift of the Leaden Blood and regroup with Alva and Mad Dog as soon as possible,
Lidien walked towards the Rift's Core. He stared at it for a few seconds before sitting just a meter in front of it.
He wasn't sure what to do... even touching it wasn't an option either... he could only study it by watching.
And it also seemed that the Monarch of Blood wasn't willing to teach him anything, or rather... spoon-feed him something he should understand by himself.
'There are two things I know... It absorbs Essences and makes Verve Stone... but, I am not sure why it was the Core of the Rift, and not the Throne in the throne hall... if it was the thing that triggered everything.'
Sighing, Lidien lay on the floor... then put both hands on his chest before closing his eyes.
