Manahuru the Fever

Manahuru flung itself toward my back.

I activated. Gangrene jumped back half a foot, yowling. Then she also fled the tent.

He came straight through. he reminded me.

[Unidentified disease encountered. Focus here to...]

To adapt, right? I focused on that message without reading it.

[Cannot absorb/adapt spirits with Absorb Disease. Using Bind Spirit instead.]

Oh, no, I didn't want that either. For one thing, it wouldn't work; Manahuru was far too powerful...

[Binding enforced.]

Blah, blah, XP messages.

screamed Manahuru.

"no..." I moaned. I mean, what the ACTUAL crap? I lose Gamilla, I lose Madonna, Kismet... had a price tag attached. I return home, and the only one who WANTED to be part of me was a disease spirit?

A freaking DISEASE spirit.

And even that was trying to pull away.
