Experimenting in the Abyss

The revelation struck Xylon like a thunderbolt, his features contorted with a mixture of disbelief and rage.

  "A child?" he exclaimed, his voice laced with fury and indignation. The mere thought of such a despicable act left him seething with anger.

Eva, her eyes brimming with tears, desperately sought to maintain his gaze, her trembling lips struggling to form words.

  "When I confronted you before, when I told you that what you did was wrong," she began, her voice quivering with raw emotion, "I spoke the truth. The council, in their twisted desperation, turned their attention to me. They knew they couldn't reach you through Havag, so they tried to force me to conceive a child... a child who would become the next soul keeper. It was sickening."

Her voice trailed off, her words hanging heavy in the air. Xylon's fists clenched, his body trembling with the intensity of his anger.
