Chapter 495
Daphne
I'm playing around with Lyra, as we're hunting some squirrel when I receive major system alerts, bombarding me.
[ATTENTION HOST: DETECTING THE MAIN CHARACTER'S MENTAL INSTABILITY.]
[ALERT: MAIN CHARACTER'S MENTAL STATE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.]
[HOST NEEDS TO SHOW THEIR PRESENCE IMMEDIATELY.]
[ALERT: PRIMARY SUBJECT SERAPHINA HAS DEPARTED THE PACK HOUSE.]
[ALERT: HER EMOTIONAL STATE IS CRITICAL. RATIONAL THOUGHT PROCESSES ARE COMPROMISED.]
[ALERT: PRIMARY SUBJECT IS HEADING TOWARD REDMOON TERRITORY.]
[ALERT: PRIMARY SUBJECT HAS DETECTED ELARA REDMOON]
[ALERT: IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION REQUIRED.]
[ ALERT: THE MAIN CHARACTER HAS USED A BLOODLINE COMMAND ON ELARA REDMOON.]
[ALERT: IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED.]
I stop.
Lyra tugs at my sleeve.
"Mom? What's wrong?"
I do not answer.
I stare at the alerts. They keep coming. Faster. More urgent, they stack on top of each other and it feels like my world is collapsing.
[—IMMEDIATE ACTION—]
