The Shadow

Artie could feel the same burning feeling that once came from Banishment just from having this sword on her palm. She figured that equipping this would chop off something from her Mortality again. However, she didn't need a stronger sword at the moment. She mindlessly stored Black Havina inside her body, forgetting two people were actually looking.

The two princes didn't know what just happened. What was that sword that came from Havina's body? Even if Selvig was more alarmed and panicked, Herriot was still the one who grabbed Artie's shoulder and woke her up from her sudden trance. "Did you just steal her magic?!"

"Magic?! No!" Artie twitched, soon realizing that the two men were watching the entire thing. "That was… that was corruption. Havina was corrupted by the darkness inside her heart, and I… extracted it. It turned into a sword that could… enter my body."
