Beastkin’s Hope

After Vespera cured the beastkin Kato from the curse, we gave him some time to regain consciousness so that he could tell us how he felt.

As we waited, my companion told me that the black flower tattoo was marked on their hearts, which was the reason why we couldn't see it anywhere on their bodies.

When we realized that Kato wouldn't wake up until the next day, we left him to rest, and I got the sleep that I was missing from the previous evening that we spent flying to the battlefield.

The following morning, we checked on Kato, and the tiger beastkin was awake, looking quite energetic.

He was able to confirm that the curse was gone, saying that he didn't feel the same heavy feeling in his heart that he had been carrying all along.

"I just hope Zagor didn't find out…" said Kato, elaborating on how the curse worked.

Now that he was able to talk without the demonic magic threatening him, he gave us all of the details.
