[Evil Tink]

Mystic looked away, "I'm sorry Holden...I didn't mean to bring up painful memories." Most of the time, when he apologized, he was never sincere; but now he was. He knew what that was like..loosing a loved one, "I can..relate...though not entirely..I almost lost my wife a few years back, but she miraculously survived; and with a little help from our spirit manipulation skills. I know Seth and Serus would get mad if they were around but..I could.." He motioned to the floor with his violet eyes, where the circle once stood.

Solomon held Holden tightly as he spoke. He jumped a bit as Mystic hinted it, "No!..no..You can't expect to survive a third attachment..besides, that's asking way too much. I'm already forever in your debt for giving me Holden back."
