Days had passed since the encounter with her father but Veli still was fairly shaken by the whole ordeal. She looked back and shuddered from deep inside her very core. Veli then closed her eyes and started to recall the blackness that she had seen just surrounding his mind. She tried to figure out what it was that was gripping him so and couldn’t think. Even after all of the good things, the Vicar posting her officially to her new position, and the mass where he spoke the words for the first virtue so eloquently she still felt rattled by everything she had encountered.
All of the words he said, everything he did leading up to this point, and that darkness that she actually saw, it was almost palpable. It must have been saronite, as Alia had suggested. It’s like it had a life of it’s own but she really had no idea about saronite. Even after all the trainng she did up north, most of that was just medic training. She had never truly worked with the psychological effects and she now wish she had so that she could shake this feeling of dread. So after a few minutes of just trying to remember she gave up when the tightness in her chest and her heart started racing again.
So, even though it was the middle of the night, and her birthday no less, Veli decided to venture to the Library and do all the research she could so that she could find a way of freeing her father from this overwhelming pain and torture his mind was putting him through.
