109 Power Outage

In the living room, Mal was sitting on the couch with all of the girls surrounding him. 

No matter how much he tried, his blessing from Nyx seemed to have disappeared into thin air. 

No darkness manipulation, teleportation, or even shadow sight. 

It was as if he'd lost his blessing entirely. 

"Has anything like this ever happened before? To anyone?" Anna asked. 

Luna shook her head sadly as she continued to enjoy the feeling of being in Mal's lap.

"Not to my knowledge. Our blessings are supposed to become part of us and they shouldn't just... disappear."

"Then maybe it's not really gone, honey." Sei said comfortingly. "Maybe you're just having a mental blockage."

"Like performance anxiety?" Mal said emptily. 

"Umm... something like that?"

The young man's mood sank even lower and he threw his head back in defeat.

There was another theory in the back of his mind that he was trying not to think about.
