The Mirror.
To fix my condition, I needed to use the Mirror.
The one that Kiera was in possession of.
Collecting the mirror should've been my priority. I knew that, and yet, when Kiera appeared before me, I stopped myself from asking her for it.
I understood that it wouldn't be easy to get her to give it to me.
It was something precious to her, and I knew she didn't fully trust me yet. But that was fine. I had another thought in mind.
While it wasn't a permanent solution, it would help me buy valuable time.
It was a bit of a gamble, but what if...?
'What if I use the ring on Julien?'
The Ring of Nothingness.
As an artifact bound to my soul. One that only I could use it. If anybody tried to use it, they'd be subjected to the 'trials of forgotten minds' that I had undergone in the past.
Once someone entered, it was almost impossible to get out.
