For the next few weeks, Agnes poured over all the unsorted and jumbled data these absolutely wicked people had. She needed to make any connection to the circumstances of the people involved. However, since it was hard to pinpoint which soul killing led to which soul swapping, there was no connection to be made.
Agnes had invested immense time to make sure she did not have to see those horrific events once again – no soul killing. She was successful in keeping the elders at bay for some time. She assured them again and again that she would find an easier method for them to tap into the potential from these aliens without sacrificing anyone.
In the meantime, she continued learning to work on her magic on her own. She had been given free access to the elders' library after all. It had contained myriads of scrolls and books on magic, written by their ancestors. That was certainly bliss, the only positive out of this.
