Shaking his head and explaining things to Brance, Cynrik couldn't help but feel he was forgetting something important.
Luckily, or unluckily for him, Brance quickly pointed out the flaw in his explanation.
"Yeah, sure, that might work in the cases of you and me, but how do you explain Selene not being turned? She wasn't present when we fought Lithlen and Viktor; how is it possible that she, too, has a Whisp of Divinity?"
"It's not like they grow on trees, and as of now, at the very best, we have only knowingly come in contact with three Tier-7 existences and less than a handful of Tier-6's." As he spoke, Brance's eyes darted between Selene's non-caring expression and the annoyed look on Cynrik's face after being called out in such a manner.
