It took a moment for the night to settle.
Once it did, Kai opened his eyes again, but the world he saw was no longer the same.
No—he changed. Not the world.
Seeing past the darkness within the House of Night had been difficult—from the moment Kai first entered the House of Night. But now, his eyes could reach further. He surprisingly could see half the distance a normal pair of eyes could manage.
Compared to how it was before, this was a massive improvement.
Something that he welcomed with open arms.
"It's a success?" Kai muttered inwardly, and then closed his eyes again.
He probed his main Primordial Lock with his senses, and sensed something inside it. A crystal gem, no longer a marble, and it was as black as obsidian—connected to a nexus of a thousand mana nerves.
A smile crept to his lips.
Kai opened his eyes and called out for the night again.
