Tyler was on his way to GlobeMall in Yara's borrowed Honda Hybrid. "I have to get a new car soon," he said to himself.
The young man wondered what kind of emergency Natalie was in. She refused to tell him anything over the phone.
Tyler gazed at his right hand and bit his lip. He had made the Martyr's Bloodstone into a ring. It was his alternative power source. He didn't have to visit the spiritual aquifer in Prince's Cove daily.
The Bloodstone's actual utility was something different, which he put to experiment today. It had worked well to heal Torque's fatal injuries, which confirmed its efficacy. However, the hulk was exceptionally strong and could handle the powerful surges of turbulent mystical energy.
Silas and Ruth's weakened constitutions may collapse under the Bloodstone's full blast. Tyler needed another rare item to soften its rush—a chakra needle. But he had no idea where to start looking for it.
