Turning to Stone

Ning watched his hands slowly turn to stone. As it did, many thoughts went through his mind, most of which were questions.

The very first question he thought was him considering if he was being betrayed at the very first moment. He had been all but certain that this leader of theirs was going to accept him, but to see that he was turning him to stone, was surprising.

Another question he wondered was why. Why was he being turned into stone?

The answer for that seemed so simple that he felt a fool to even ask it.

He had just come into this man's lair and shown him that he could turn anything into Dust. That was a massive attack on this man's business, and probably even an attack on him as a person.

He did mention trying to create Dust and not being able to.

'Oh, so he is a Converter too,' Ning thought. He should've guessed that. 'I should've known he had just drunk Spark. I assumed it was Dust.'

He nearly sighed.
