That morning, Exsia didn’t notice anything wrong with her. It was Puck who pointed out the gray patch of scales on the inside of her wrist.
“What do you think it is?” she asked her.
Puck shrugged. “I don’t know, but it’s probably nothing good.”
Hesker stepped forward. “If it’s a curse, I can deal with that.”
“That might be for the best.” Exsia held her wrist out toward him. “Whenever you’re ready.”
Hesker nodded, then waved his hand, muttering under his breath. A white light spread across her wrist, spreading up her arm.
And then Exsia dropped to the ground.
Puck, Hesker, Goldshine, and Vincent all looked at each other.
“What did you do to her?” Puck demanded, glaring at Hesker.
Vincent knelt down and poked Exsia’s still form. “I don’t think she’s breathing.”
Goldshine rushed to her side, placing her hands on her shoulders. A warm light emanated from them, and Exsia’s chest began to move up and down.
“Oh, thank gods,” Puck said, breathing a sigh of relief.
Exsia slowly sat up, blinking and looking around. “What happened?”
“You almost died because of this idiot.” Puck jerked her head toward Hesker.
“Hey, I was trying to help!”
While they were bickering, Exsia got to her feet, dusting off her dress.
Goldshine placed a hand on her shoulder. “You okay?”
Exsia nodded and smiled. “Thank you.”
And then shit hit the fan.
