Muhrial took us to the edge of the city today, down to a small hatch with one of the great cherry blossom trees nearby. When Eli and Lucy got a bad feeling about it, Muhrial assured them that there was nothing to fear. That humans and angels were immune to the sickness.
Kuumas who become corrupted are Koormas. The name is so close to “Kuuma” because Capella has hopes that they’ll never lose sight of who they really are. The corruption is from Maaz’s second awakening, she said. That’s why the gates have been closed for the longest time, but somehow, the fog rolls away from the city and leaves it vulnerable for Maaz to creep in. That’s why the monster got in, too.
Koormas were strapped to plush beds, struggling and writhing in their bonds that held them down. They hissed and snarled when we entered, and a few of them didn’t move at all... Eli asked about them, actually. Muhrial said that they had passed and moved on, becoming one with Time. -R
