819 Recounting The Events

Kary waited in silence for him to start talking.

Seeing that his warning didn't deter her, Alex sighed again.

He told her what had happened in that last moment before the attack aimed at Violette hit him. He explained how he had shielded her with his body, making sure she wasn't in harm's way and how that made him receive the last of the damage.

Alex told her how the demon and Geminae had reacted in self-preservation, trying to stay alive and taking control of him to do so. He also told her how Psyche's fragment inside him was why he had ever woken up.

But saying all this also came with caveats.

He had to tell her how the demon tended to try to grab control of his body. He also told her how he had left bodies in that cave up far north.

She was horrified that he might have eaten them, and Alex had to tell her that even though the demon had been in control, this was almost a certainty.
