"Fucking christ!" Holden almost punched the wall. He looked to Jaelynn, "Why I had to fall in love with a man who is as stubborn as I am I will never know." He took a deep breath to calm down. "Jaelynn, I..." He started to say but was cut off by Seth appearing.

Seth appeared holding Camelia and Felix by the collars, "Now Camelia help Holden. He has to find out what powers of the Paladin he got." He was breathing heavily.

"Fine Seth." Camelia grabbed something out of her pocket. She walked over to Holden, "I'm going to need you to wear this. If you did get the Paladin's powers this will help you control it and you can do magic without a spell or circle." She paused. "Well for most things." She put the necklace around Holden's neck. "Now Felix darling, I need you to go and get blood, a lot of it." She led Holden to the bed. She gently, but forcibly set him down.

Felix nodded but looked to Seth first, "Are you ok Seth?" He put his arm around Seth's waist and moved him to a chair.

"I'm fine, now go." Seth waved Felix away when he was sitting.

Felix disappeared.

"Jaelynn you are welcome to stay if you want." Camelia smiled at Jaelynn but quickly looked back at Holden. "Now this will be painful.. Or at least I'm assuming. If you do have the powers, when I unlock them you will get a huge amount of knowledge. Spells, incantations, arrays, etc." She closed her eyes. "Now I want you to open you mind to me. While I'm in there I will push your links with everyone out. So that may hurt you as well." She took a deep breath, not that she needed it. "Now." Camelia said as she started to say an incantation.

Holden just sat there while Camelia talked, he nodded and closed his eyes. He opened his mind to Camelia. He felt her enter his brain and push his links out. Holden winced hard when they were pushed out.
