Neve still did not know what he wanted.
He wanted more than one ability since he did not know which single ability would be better for him. One ability felt limiting. One ability felt like it would not be enough.
"Maybe it would be better if I have everything," Neve said, shrugging like it was no big deal. "Call me greedy."
"Then have it," Cael said simply, like it was the easiest thing in the world.
Neve laughed at how easy Cael made it sound.
"I wish I had... everything?" he muttered quietly, testing the words out.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his chest.
Before he could collapse, Cael and Aldric held him up, their arms wrapping around him to support his weight.
The pain was sharp and intense and he felt it everywhere in his body. His entire being seemed to be burning from the inside out. He grunted, gnashing his teeth together as the pain slowly spread through him.
It hurt. It hurt so much more than the first time.
