[Bonus chapter] The Seven Mages

Knock! Knock! "Is Arad awake?" Alcott knocked on the door.

"Get in," Arad replied immediately, and Alcott opened the door, walking in.

"How are you doing?" He asked, "Do you feel any pain or nausea?"

Arad shook his head, "I don't feel any different. Is there a way to even determine if I was cursed?" He glared at Alcott and Ginger.

"You passed out for a moment, and Ginger could tell. You got the curse, but I'm worried you're not showing symptoms." Alcott replied with a worried face.

"I should be fine. Can you get the vampirism off me?" Arad glared at Ginger. He needs Mom back.

"Fine, I should be able to take it off. Just give me a moment." Ginger replied with a smile, extending her hand toward Arad and closing her eyes.

Arad waited, looking at Ginger's face, and saw it sweating.

Alcott and Aella stared at her.

"You are taking longer than I expected," Alcott commented.
