Not Alone
Evalynn Fang stared at her son through glassy eyes.
"You have changed."
"That's not a very nice way to say hello," Michael responded.
"No. That's not what I meant. Your Curse. Something about it changed. And why can I sense another presence inside you?"
It was not difficult to understand what Evalynn was talking about. However, Michael didn't expect the changes of his Curse to be so easy to perceive. He could barely sense the changes.
Meanwhile, Michael had known that his mother would sense the World Serpent. The Living Image contained countless seals. They weren't accessible, but the Living Image wasn't stored deep inside Michael's being. Instead, it slithered through his back as it pleased. Michael figured that his mother could sense the World Serpent's seals.
