Ryan's Choice

"Shade, we're done here," Ryan called out, looking at the disheveled Hannah on the floor.

Shade creaked the door open and peered inside, seeing Hannah's blissed-out expression as she lay drooling on the floor.

"I asked you to cure her of her curse, not the symptoms of it," Shade said, looking a little disappointed at Ryan. 'I thought he could be our master. Unfortunately, it appears he's just another hot… hot head,' Shade thought, shaking his head to clear the visions of debauchery that had entered his mind.

"I think you should take a closer look, Shade," Diana said from behind Shade, her eyes gleaming with awe.

Shade raised his eyebrow at Diana before moving closer, placing a hand on the slobbering Hannah.

"Well, I'll be damned," Shade whispered in excitement and astonishment.

Not only had Hannah's curse been lifted, but it had also been replaced by something actively helping her.

"What is this power inside of her?" Shade asked, turning towards Ryan.
