"I got him!" Baba Yaga extended her consciousness, reading the Upyr's mind like an open book. "Show me where you little critters hide. Share with me Orpal's plans. Tell me how I can destroy him once and for all!"
Alas, the open book still had a will of its own, and the Mother struggled to suppress Colurra's thirst for power and dreams of glory. His delusions of grandeur kept flashing before her eyes, eclipsing the information that truly mattered.
"Orpal is in Jiera, as I suspected." Baba Yaga said, recognizing the familiar environment. "Verendi is too unstable and populous to hide for as long as he did. Yet I need a location. Show me where he hides. Is that the Vepta Region?"
As the Harmonizer's spells suppressed the willpower of the Treant and froze his life force to ease Baba Yaga's way into his mind, something went wrong. The Upyr side felt his prey relax and grow weak until the gates to Colurra's essence were unguarded and open.
