Throughout the night, that information remained in Neve's mind.
Maren is able to use dark magic. Well, the former Maren in this beastworld world. But this version of Maren, the one currently living in the beast world, did something different with his power.
Instead of using other beastmen's life force the way some dark magic users might, Maren used his own life energy. He deliberately shared his own life force with his mother to make sure she could survive. According to what Popi had heard from Varek, Maren had been keeping his mother alive for years by sacrificing his own vitality.
That was a completely different kind of power. That was sacrifice. That was love in its purest form or maybe he was doing it for a different reason.
Neve turned his head and stared at Popi sleeping peacefully next to him, a small stone hovering in her hand. She was still practicing her telekinesis even in her sleep. Her power was becoming more natural.
