Instructor Calder's gaze swept across the assembled students like a blade testing for soft spots.82Please respect copyright.PENANAAj5gMOXDUF
82Please respect copyright.PENANAmQTChMbEqN
"Most of you received your first blessing weeks ago. Maybe months." His scarred arms remained crossed. "You've had time to feel strong. To imagine yourselves as heroes."82Please respect copyright.PENANAaqOUfE7VWF
82Please respect copyright.PENANA4bEOz0moNV
He let the words hang.82Please respect copyright.PENANAU5d4RdSOU3
82Please respect copyright.PENANA8sIvopOLH2
"You're not."82Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ftjw8vmB3
82Please respect copyright.PENANAdF4aVlvCZK
The declaration landed with the force of a physical blow. Several students straightened defensively. Others shifted their weight, uncertainty flickering across their faces.82Please respect copyright.PENANAsfLGYGFdfc
82Please respect copyright.PENANAPrmYaWOMc8
"Strength isn't granted. It's earned. The gods gave you a foundation - a body that can become something more than human. But that's all it is. A foundation."82Please respect copyright.PENANAfjTPVUdraG
82Please respect copyright.PENANAFFmnOoBQUj
He uncrossed his arms and gestured toward the training grounds around them.82Please respect copyright.PENANA0cU4oRl8NU
82Please respect copyright.PENANAJjbRYYJCtI
"Every morning, you'll be here before dawn. Running. Lifting. Pushing your bodies until they break and rebuild stronger. Some of you are thinking that's pointless - you're Chosen now, why waste time on mundane exercise?"82Please respect copyright.PENANAKJP2ZcwgFK
82Please respect copyright.PENANAcnUbqz8J9Z
His expression hardened.82Please respect copyright.PENANAiA7WETjMBK
82Please respect copyright.PENANAMub1xjVwIH
"Because there is no ceiling to how strong a Chosen's body can become. A commoner can train their entire life and hit a wall. You won't. Your bodies will keep adapting, keep growing, keep pushing past limits that would cripple normal humans."82Please respect copyright.PENANAAvcHy2xsjI
82Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0rbxcnMxN
Calder's hand dropped to his side.82Please respect copyright.PENANAiBmsPaAUc0
82Please respect copyright.PENANAmG65KAFBPd
"And for those of you blessed with traits or authorities that enhance your physical capabilities - don't rely on them. Most enhancements boost your base strength. They multiply what's already there."82Please respect copyright.PENANAxGjqadqjo5
82Please respect copyright.PENANAh5I8lW1YpM
The words settled over Cel like cold water.82Please respect copyright.PENANATuKOGGI7EG
82Please respect copyright.PENANAi3FHZdMcmj
Lunar Vigor. Active only under moonlight. Variable intensity based on the moon's phase.82Please respect copyright.PENANAPPYBOtEnLc
82Please respect copyright.PENANABcJVJdPN8a
He'd already felt its effect many times - that surge of energy that had made him faster, stronger. But he'd been working with the strength the Moon Goddess gave him when she forged his new body.82Please respect copyright.PENANAKzxZNtNjU2
82Please respect copyright.PENANAgTGQoU5Qyr
How strong was that foundation compared to other Chosen?82Please respect copyright.PENANAR67yN0IjEI
82Please respect copyright.PENANAhq3bzpNwFb
Cel's hand unconsciously closed into a fist, testing the strength there.82Please respect copyright.PENANATWVdGarvze
82Please respect copyright.PENANAb56EvPkAmW
"Imagine," Calder was saying, "that your enhancement doubles your power. Double nothing is still nothing. But double an already formidable foundation?" He smiled without warmth.82Please respect copyright.PENANAkkiWelBLwM
82Please respect copyright.PENANACJZIEfWO3w
"That's when you become worth the divine investment."82Please respect copyright.PENANAd4okPe3Avo
82Please respect copyright.PENANAEKwyiPbudY
Around Cel, several students had gone pale. A boy near the front - one who'd carried himself with particular confidence during the ceremony - now looked like he'd swallowed something bitter.82Please respect copyright.PENANAhRzHhJpoAb
82Please respect copyright.PENANAM19XiDOWTq
"After your theoretical classes each afternoon, you return here." His gaze swept the assembled students. "That's when we teach you to kill."82Please respect copyright.PENANAvrJ2aV5Pk0
82Please respect copyright.PENANA35WWNyZVUY
The word landed with deliberate weight.82Please respect copyright.PENANAm1cEJA8VbK
82Please respect copyright.PENANAgkrZqWz85J
"Weapons training. Combat forms. How to use your traits and authorities in actual battle instead of fumbling with them like children. And you'll learn to control your Divine Energy properly."82Please respect copyright.PENANAwOxXLw28CM
82Please respect copyright.PENANAGKXHlr3WIe
Cel's attention sharpened.82Please respect copyright.PENANAqIkOJmnkk5
82Please respect copyright.PENANAd9xYwUUObN
Control Divine Energy. The fundamental skill every Chosen possessed naturally.82Please respect copyright.PENANAYEpXbp2R7o
82Please respect copyright.PENANA08KhlZZjru
Except him.82Please respect copyright.PENANAswPWYXY48W
82Please respect copyright.PENANABFlb2bM9uB
He'd need to fake the concentration, pretend he sensed something he couldn't perceive. And when someone inevitably noticed they couldn't sense his Divine Energy signature…82Please respect copyright.PENANAU5Mjyf7HBD
82Please respect copyright.PENANA9kv7emcCVN
The Reckoning assumed it was because of an artifact. But that wouldn’t work now - he wasn't manifesting anything. A trait, then. Some aspect of his blessing that suppressed his signature. Rare enough to seem special, possible enough to be believable.82Please respect copyright.PENANAeFBr6ManCr
82Please respect copyright.PENANAXcphj4Tr6M
"Question." Calder’s voice cut through his thoughts. "What is Divine Energy?"82Please respect copyright.PENANAj39IXQtDo0
82Please respect copyright.PENANACVuJESAmKh
Hands rose. He pointed to a girl in the second row.82Please respect copyright.PENANAt6Kk3fUXTN
82Please respect copyright.PENANADYEyuOx0yE
"It's a gift from the gods. The power we need to activate our authorities."82Please respect copyright.PENANAUG3YGh8Z6d
82Please respect copyright.PENANArgarvrkD9y
"Half right. Divine Energy is power granted by the gods, yes. But it's not just fuel for your abilities." Calder's tone shifted, taking on the cadence of someone explaining something fundamental. "It's a tool. A weapon. And like any weapon, it requires mastery."82Please respect copyright.PENANAFNkzbVon3W
82Please respect copyright.PENANApv47k50JV6
He paused.82Please respect copyright.PENANA1gPGIxLo1g
82Please respect copyright.PENANAysqkfduZRd
"It's also a sense. Your sixth sense, if you want to think of it that way."82Please respect copyright.PENANAb83bRZbihE
82Please respect copyright.PENANAFq4zqcexdh
Cel went very still.82Please respect copyright.PENANAGZA7LZalDe
82Please respect copyright.PENANA2AjFfav1WF
A sixth sense. Something every Chosen possessed naturally. Something that let them perceive and manipulate the energy flowing through them.82Please respect copyright.PENANA6ME61wfSrb
82Please respect copyright.PENANAXhqypPm81z
Something he completely lacked.82Please respect copyright.PENANAbDuyJXLLN2
82Please respect copyright.PENANAm1iesGie5D
Wait.82Please respect copyright.PENANAK3EECn06o1
82Please respect copyright.PENANARe3hz13VXD
His mind cataloged the truth with clinical detachment. Sight, hearing, touch, smell - those he had. But taste? That had died in the cell, ground away by months of consuming rotting meat.82Please respect copyright.PENANAi7VwCpybnG
82Please respect copyright.PENANAn8tthOscbX
Other Chosen had six senses. Normal humans had five. 82Please respect copyright.PENANAkU8xL6K7Zo
82Please respect copyright.PENANAFc3awRvHr1
He had four.82Please respect copyright.PENANAADmWDnx5TP
82Please respect copyright.PENANAWe57ipZXJN
The absurdity of it would have been funny if it wasn't so completely fucked.82Please respect copyright.PENANA3njx1Nop37
82Please respect copyright.PENANAlX8bU5BpLc
"Let me demonstrate," Calder said.82Please respect copyright.PENANAGxoflwG9Nn
82Please respect copyright.PENANAVWzz0Q542v
He closed his eyes.82Please respect copyright.PENANAZQW3MsUsyF
82Please respect copyright.PENANA4pmsCWvELg
The ground trembled - barely perceptible, like the earth itself had taken a breath.82Please respect copyright.PENANA0qt2Rt4Jca
82Please respect copyright.PENANAY6OuYSbfdx
Students around Cel gasped. Some stumbled backward. Others went rigid, eyes wide with something between awe and fear.82Please respect copyright.PENANA69S6FM5wvu
82Please respect copyright.PENANALdK6yf3jEJ
A boy near Cel dropped to one knee, breathing hard. The girl beside him pressed both hands to her chest.82Please respect copyright.PENANAu9wjY5A6ra
82Please respect copyright.PENANAs5gWQwHSXz
Cel saw nothing.82Please respect copyright.PENANAbTtbnlbObj
82Please respect copyright.PENANA8CeJ1UYXW3
'This is going to be annoying.'82Please respect copyright.PENANAvL8TmGvNOJ
82Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3eaxuvtkw
Calder opened his eyes again and the pressure - whatever it had been - vanished.82Please respect copyright.PENANAUJZJ1qKi0I
82Please respect copyright.PENANAa9TEmPztDR
"That was my raw Divine Energy." He gestured broadly. "With training, you'll learn to sense it in others. More importantly, you'll learn to sense corrupted essence."82Please respect copyright.PENANASlxYssZKWA
82Please respect copyright.PENANAkAje0l8bOr
His expression hardened.82Please respect copyright.PENANAwNeD0ELQxv
82Please respect copyright.PENANAuw0EX0Qdqq
"Rift-creatures carry corruption in their very being. Most humans can feel it as wrongness. But if you refine your sixth sense, you can classify a creature by its presence alone. Know its blight level before you see it."82Please respect copyright.PENANAbuBhLJjeL0
82Please respect copyright.PENANAEjlOqRj6Jj
A hand rose.82Please respect copyright.PENANAcECUo2cY3G
82Please respect copyright.PENANAyyUBvHwBxT
"Couldn't we just use the Ledger of Nightmares?"82Please respect copyright.PENANARLJSVoouf9
82Please respect copyright.PENANAxxjNSsvI2p
Confusion rippled through the group. Several students exchanged questioning looks.82Please respect copyright.PENANAHoc3ASiSnu
82Please respect copyright.PENANA45BWbNaoVM
Calder's expression shifted - something that might have been approval.82Please respect copyright.PENANAroPOv45fUh
82Please respect copyright.PENANAioopDUleJP
"The Ledger is a valuable tool. Instructor Saren will cover it in detail during your theoretical classes." He paused. "But the Ledger requires time. You need to observe the creature, consult the entry, read the information. In combat, you rarely have that luxury."82Please respect copyright.PENANAlw91cF8fVv
82Please respect copyright.PENANAZZHQ668B5K
The mention of the Ledger pulled at Cel's attention.82Please respect copyright.PENANAWE4MuqTDkO
82Please respect copyright.PENANACFwZBArXbH
He still needed to check it thoroughly. The entries from the Crystal Maze remained unread - the crystal-spined thing that he rode, the lake of nothingness that hunted him, and the fairy-like creature that killed him. Though why creatures from his trial appeared in a supposedly comprehensive bestiary of real encounters, he still didn't understand.82Please respect copyright.PENANAQb5lOnqBoZ
82Please respect copyright.PENANAC7HG9bCEeg
And the creature Esrin had fought in the Ashlands. The massive thing that had erupted from the dead volcano. What blight did something like that carry?82Please respect copyright.PENANAFrjwRNfSoM
82Please respect copyright.PENANAbwHf68XHWn
The questions circled through his mind as Calder continued explaining the training regimen. 82Please respect copyright.PENANA5G6oWTD6Zn
82Please respect copyright.PENANAJg2TPvRBHK
A structured routine designed to transform blessed individuals into functional warriors.82Please respect copyright.PENANA5zW5knppax
82Please respect copyright.PENANArjazSDazRO
"Dismissed," Calder eventually said. "Dawn tomorrow. Don't be late."82Please respect copyright.PENANAnaeweJAvnu
82Please respect copyright.PENANAe2RqTt6B2M
The students dispersed in clusters, conversations resuming as the weight of the instructor's presence lifted. Lior remained beside Cel, his expression distant as he processed the lecture.82Please respect copyright.PENANA0c3t5Zkd1c
82Please respect copyright.PENANAr8fEkrl0bf
They walked back in silence, the path to the dining hall filling with other students whose voices rose in animated discussion. By the time they reached the entrance, the buzz of energy was almost overwhelming - dozens of conversations competing in volume as students dissected the day's revelations. 82Please respect copyright.PENANA1QJ42SrMet
82Please respect copyright.PENANA5AHHgWu9S6
Cel and Lior claimed their isolated table again. Food arrived within minutes - roasted meat, vegetables glazed in something that caught the light, fresh bread that released steam when torn open.82Please respect copyright.PENANAOlTACuXlop
82Please respect copyright.PENANAtnDzeB4nvr
Lior took his first bite and went still.82Please respect copyright.PENANAUCDo3pagOR
82Please respect copyright.PENANAhg5F2lqAea
His eyes widened. He chewed slowly, almost reverently, then swallowed and immediately reached for more.82Please respect copyright.PENANAjDISp8kr5j
82Please respect copyright.PENANAbXsQieMqjv
"This is incredible," he said, the words muffled around bread. "I've never—the seasoning alone must cost more than my family spends on food in a month."82Please respect copyright.PENANA0owq2aM71q
82Please respect copyright.PENANAkxHkebEqEx
Cel cut into his own portion. The meat separated cleanly under his knife. He brought a piece to his mouth, chewed, swallowed.82Please respect copyright.PENANAjuFmMlYf9b
82Please respect copyright.PENANA1M79Da4KJL
Nothing.82Please respect copyright.PENANA3faRCBOMOJ
82Please respect copyright.PENANATeoYK82nL2
‘Four senses, huh?’82Please respect copyright.PENANA0qK8OZIvAq
82Please respect copyright.PENANAWpGVxCQ5WF
Lior had already finished his first serving and was eyeing the remaining dishes.82Please respect copyright.PENANAiPKsHJTnvO
82Please respect copyright.PENANAlrUyPeL5PW
"Do you think they feed us like this every day?" He reached for more vegetables, practically vibrating with barely contained delight. "The instructors said three meals daily, but I assumed it would be simple fare. Porridge and hard bread, maybe some—"82Please respect copyright.PENANAZsLDUHgH9p
82Please respect copyright.PENANAyrPd6RHKA9
He caught himself, glancing at Cel's plate.82Please respect copyright.PENANAEVrNVODmUG
82Please respect copyright.PENANAjRHkauSPi3
"You're not eating much."82Please respect copyright.PENANAFgT6seqesc
82Please respect copyright.PENANAqsl5tH8Z6F
"I'm eating."82Please respect copyright.PENANA5wolgxAMcE
82Please respect copyright.PENANAOaTctR8pRW
"Right. Sorry." Lior returned his attention to his food with renewed focus.82Please respect copyright.PENANAVevfCn88vA
82Please respect copyright.PENANAio4A0iSv8T
The minutes passed. Around them, conversations rose and fell. A group near the front dissolved into laughter over something. Two boys argued about which deities were superior, their voices rising until others told them to shut up.82Please respect copyright.PENANAWws0udOqFv
82Please respect copyright.PENANAFPzHPasl4y
Cel ate because his body needed fuel. Lior ate like someone storing memories against future hunger.82Please respect copyright.PENANA443fSrZKnF
82Please respect copyright.PENANAvzvBd9nCr6
When the plates were empty, students began filtering out. Most headed back toward the classroom - the ones who'd kept their hands down earlier, now bound for extra lessons that would stretch into the evening.82Please respect copyright.PENANAhX995y72Cz
82Please respect copyright.PENANARWQ6BbNgCk
Lior watched them go, his expression troubled.82Please respect copyright.PENANAkzJYY3tjT7
82Please respect copyright.PENANA8uwnjeQzTM
"I should head to the classroom too." He glanced at Cel. "What will you do with your evening?"82Please respect copyright.PENANAeX9Vzgc0zS
82Please respect copyright.PENANAJQqFT3OUva
"Read."82Please respect copyright.PENANAoZPi3vqGA4
82Please respect copyright.PENANAxdJwafMZ75
"I see." Lior's smile was brief and self-conscious. "I'll see you tomorrow, then."82Please respect copyright.PENANAhKdocwdSvQ
82Please respect copyright.PENANANUDgPly6VB
He left with the stream of other students, his posture carrying that particular tension of someone facing something difficult but necessary.82Please respect copyright.PENANAfSOcia9WyK
82Please respect copyright.PENANAFGNrKdFYoK
Cel remained seated as the dining hall emptied. When only a handful of them remained, he rose and made his way through the corridors.82Please respect copyright.PENANAJcOn4SAlhk
82Please respect copyright.PENANAl6B5qCjVer
The commoner dormitory was silent when he reached it. He unlocked his door, stepped inside, and closed it behind him with a soft click.82Please respect copyright.PENANA9PNKC8Gsia
82Please respect copyright.PENANAavcu93TzQM
The room looked exactly as he'd left it. Narrow bed. Empty desk. Wardrobe with the commoner clothes he'd worn in the city.82Please respect copyright.PENANALdgv7enJGE
82Please respect copyright.PENANAz4hwvWqJCT
Cel moved to the center of the space and reached for the bond.82Please respect copyright.PENANAlC0WH86DdH
82Please respect copyright.PENANAEZZjrWlMAQ
Moonlight threaded through the air, weaving itself into solid form. The Ledger materialized - worn black leather, silver filigree catching the afternoon light filtering through his window. It hung suspended for a heartbeat before gravity remembered itself.82Please respect copyright.PENANADQHurRubqX
82Please respect copyright.PENANA2wOnNMsi4X
He caught it before it could fall, the leather cool against his palms.82Please respect copyright.PENANA37poWhHliu
82Please respect copyright.PENANAJp3FNUzttP
His fingers found the edge and opened to the first page.82Please respect copyright.PENANAaSdJ6aEwiq
82Please respect copyright.PENANAyH8OktVlGR
Ledger of Nightmares.82Please respect copyright.PENANAbdP8WNBLkH
82Please respect copyright.PENANAQwj3stIih3
The title stared back at him in stark black ink.82Please respect copyright.PENANANQ7NZo5ANs
82Please respect copyright.PENANAyEMPAmgFMu
Cel's fingers found the page's edge and turned.82Please respect copyright.PENANA4QRTrnhpIo
82Please respect copyright.PENANAa0VGPaINpI
<Anathema: Endless Shambler>82Please respect copyright.PENANAaumIXBtuUj
82Please respect copyright.PENANAgCco9MmV2s
The sketch showed a skeletal figure, hunched and wrong. Crystal growths erupted from bone in chaotic patterns - through the skull, along the spine, bursting from joints in jagged formations that looked more like infection than armor.82Please respect copyright.PENANAuPWbB3RheV
82Please respect copyright.PENANAaxxrW8T1Fi
His eyes dropped to the text.82Please respect copyright.PENANAmjF94l8ct8

82Please respect copyright.PENANA91d7p1ykzG
Cursed. The lowest classification of all ten.82Please respect copyright.PENANAatRdmz2vrT
82Please respect copyright.PENANAHCwvpZScex
<Behavior: Operates in loose packs with others of its kind. No intelligence remains. Driven by hunger and the compulsion to spread its affliction. Movement is mechanical and persistent. Does not rest. Does not tire. Does not stop.>82Please respect copyright.PENANAIUgH2eUEzp

<Legacy: [incomplete]>82Please respect copyright.PENANAvvXczHBmS9
82Please respect copyright.PENANA8c4t2mVna7
Cel's hand tightened on the edge of the page. The sketch showed the truth clearly enough - those proportions, that basic structure beneath the crystal. They'd been human once.82Please respect copyright.PENANAL2qofhj6DB
82Please respect copyright.PENANANa7SzEnZKP
Caught by the maze. Transformed. Reduced to shambling husks that existed only to inflict the same fate on others.82Please respect copyright.PENANA32SGgphow4
82Please respect copyright.PENANAHVn5pL1oDY
He turned the page to the next entry - the mirror lake.82Please respect copyright.PENANAfPQ2TZsFIN
82Please respect copyright.PENANAs2TUKIHYyG
The next sketch was simpler this time. Solid black ink poured across the paper with only the faintest suggestion of ripples at its surface. Like looking down into still water at midnight.82Please respect copyright.PENANAKlhEfUnuoa

82Please respect copyright.PENANAZGIQUaM3NP
<Blight: Ruined>82Please respect copyright.PENANAIYti6b1fuj
82Please respect copyright.PENANAY9fbpIfsUK
Ruined. Sixth tier. Higher than any other creature he had encountered in the Ashlands.82Please respect copyright.PENANAm1oqzT5TNx
82Please respect copyright.PENANAuVcLztrZgA
<Behavior: Responds to proximity and emotional disturbance. Expands territory following acts of violence or destruction within its mirror realm.>82Please respect copyright.PENANAq1fahKgzpc
82Please respect copyright.PENANAjPALDDUmZs
<Hunting Pattern: Lures prey by manifesting traumatic memories in liquid surface. Drags victims into its mirror realm populated by crystalline manifestations of their torments. Feeds on fear and despair.>82Please respect copyright.PENANAPqonphL83W
82Please respect copyright.PENANAP9YhAZCYw2
Cel's eyes narrowed. 82Please respect copyright.PENANAJNh4rPy8Ti
82Please respect copyright.PENANAl0D0UUZMln
Feeds on fear and despair.82Please respect copyright.PENANAfw6Mfss9P5
82Please respect copyright.PENANAD1cHxE3toS
Not hunger. Not territorial defense. The thing sustained itself on suffering - drawing prey close with their own worst memories, then trapping them in a realm built from trauma made solid.82Please respect copyright.PENANAkbZCLlSUgX
82Please respect copyright.PENANAgJB8hakvlV
He'd destroyed those reflections. Shattered every manifestation of his father, his family, the cultists, himself. If he hadn't - if he'd broken under the weight of their judgment instead - what would have happened? 82Please respect copyright.PENANAmS90vefskO
82Please respect copyright.PENANAwldlCQU1Kd
A shudder ran through him. He turned the page before the thoughts could spiral.82Please respect copyright.PENANAgsEkiL54O2
82Please respect copyright.PENANAehqxrbF1Ao
The sketch showed a massive serpentine form, its thick body covered in dark hide between crystal formations that erupted from its spine in organized rows.82Please respect copyright.PENANAyd44d22d8n
82Please respect copyright.PENANA1VuK8ZOnEK
Recognition struck immediately.82Please respect copyright.PENANAqbuf9fdVvE
82Please respect copyright.PENANAS7fiCQstrj
The creature that had carried him across the maze.82Please respect copyright.PENANAE2zTh4xMyV

Fallen. Fifth tier. One below Ruined.82Please respect copyright.PENANAsiZnbf2Qc7
82Please respect copyright.PENANAumyvIOYvdI
<Behavior: Ignores potential prey in favor of predetermined objectives. Movement ceases only when threatened. Defends itself by shedding crystals from its spine that detonate on contact.>82Please respect copyright.PENANAxSzJ9aAo9i
82Please respect copyright.PENANAchaB160n7F
Cel stared at the words. He'd thought himself lucky when the creature carried him across the maze. Lucky it hadn't noticed him clinging to its back, lucky it hadn't decided to shake him off or crush him against the crystal formations.82Please respect copyright.PENANAmKNHG9uMPA
82Please respect copyright.PENANAS7JjvJnyMm
But it hadn't been luck at all.82Please respect copyright.PENANAPbwePn0fKG
82Please respect copyright.PENANAR7j9HbYNgt
The creature had simply deemed him irrelevant. An insect clinging to something far more important - whatever objective drove it through a realm of crystal and death with singular focus.82Please respect copyright.PENANAO8Y0sOK2bf

The gaps stared back at him like missing teeth. He'd ridden on its back for hours and learned nothing except that he wasn't worth acknowledging.82Please respect copyright.PENANAKlFjB044wG
82Please respect copyright.PENANANNEhIJzF5B
His fingers hesitated at the page's edge.82Please respect copyright.PENANAzLdmZHEYG4
82Please respect copyright.PENANA3SuFibmNiT
The next entry would be the creature that killed him. The one with translucent skin and violet light burning in its eye sockets. The thing that had impaled him on a crystal spike and watched him die with detached curiosity.82Please respect copyright.PENANAsz8X0FCHwl
82Please respect copyright.PENANASjrYc8CFd6
His throat tightened. But the information was there. Waiting.82Please respect copyright.PENANAqWxBdiiIxg
82Please respect copyright.PENANAXkllzgSI4i
