As the hours chased to hours, the Poison Element, leaving the dark green waters of the pond, was being drawn into the vortex on Mel's right wrist. The young man was quite relaxed as he stored the Poison Energy that had hurt him earlier in the seed in his body.
At lunchtime, no one came looking for him, and the Poison Element, which had declared the Energy Crystal Mine a no-go zone, remained a part of Mel. As he was conscious, he could only guess how much time had passed and did not move until the Heir had finished taking what was his.
His damaged body had been restored long ago, and he could leave whenever he wanted, but Mel did not get up until he had finished what he had started. As darkness began to reign in the outside world again, Mel spread both arms to the side and flexed his chest forward.
