Ousted By Knowledge

Helena gazed at him, dumbfounded. She watched as Northern began to scurry around, searching his body for the black scroll.

He was joking, he had to be joking.

Helena found her mouth and eyes wide open, unable to close them no matter how much she tried.

And yet, words failed her in that moment.

What was she to say exactly?

'This guy...'

Northern lowered his head in shame, frowning underneath.

"I don't know, it must have been during the fight, maybe I was careless..." he wanted to say more but stopped and ground his teeth.

He didn't even know how it worked.

Koll's body overwrote his own, could it have been possible that the map was expelled from his body during the process?

Or had it simply fallen during his fight with the Kirithon, and he didn't even notice it happen?

He was utterly confused, annoyed, and disgusted with himself for making such a stupid mistake happen.
