Chapter 143: Disaster Strikes

GAIUS

'No…' The god released the word with such force, Gaius was hauled from his prison and into his mind. Cringing and making himself small so as not to be seen, he slunk back into his cell and shut the door. He need not have worried, the god was clearly in too much of a state to notice his presence.

'You fool, Millard, what did you do? You wasted so much.' he shouted to the moon. 'I knew you could not resist looking inside and stealing some of the magic for yourself. You released so much I can feel it from here. Will there be enough left for me to come through?'

"What had Millard done?" Opening the door a little and peeking out, he allowed his senses loose for the first time in a while. He was bombarded with a multitude of magical pin-pricks, the like of which he had never experienced before.
