A Fake Gift

Kiana was stunned after hearing this. She had seen the bore shrews and how they had changed, or rather… mutated. Keith had undergone a rather drastic change as well and it could be called as a mutation too.

She just didn't think something like this could have been possible.

"But… how?" Kiana questioned.

"That's the thing… I don't know. I know this, that the gift works from touch and I did shake hands with Keith. Perhaps my gift awakened at that time, but I never realized it." Lucius answered, giving a fake explanation.

"Then Keith falling and injuring himself… was that…" Kiana muttered.

"No, I doubt that can be because of that. We all saw the man went to beat up the maids and fell down due to tripping. No one affected him there." Lucius assured.
