Chapter 72 To the Next Tier

Once Melisandre was finished lecturing Evelyn, she let out a sigh and slumped back a bit in her chair, while contemplating something.

Evelyn for her part was stiff as a board as Melisandre had just scolded her thoroughly for nearly half an hour and continued to explain why what she had done was stupid and dangerous, while expanding on many other ways she could have hurt herself.

'I suddenly feel really tired.' Evelyn thought as the tension released from her body.

She then teetered around and barely kept herself upright as she slumped against the table for support.

Melisandre seeing this got up and moved over to Evelyn with a frown on her face.

"I figured something like this might happen. You took in enough magical energy to go up to the next tier, and now your body is having to absorb all that energy at once." Melisandre said as she looked Evelyn over.
