Chapter 14: Master Craftswoman

“What just happened!” Mildid screamed, walking back towards Detrick and the demon. Whatever she had done to her eyes clearly impaired her normal vision.

She looked up at Detrick, and seemed to notice his left eye for the first time. Grabbing hold of his left arm, she went up on her tiptoes to examine both of his eyes with her own orb-like eyes.

Nodding, she settled back on her heels and began rubbing her right eye vigorously with her right fist. When she was done, the eye had gone back to its previous state. But her left eye, like Detrick's, remained a black void.

Turning her whole face to the right, she looked at the demon with her left eye. “I see,” she said with a nod. Then she turned her head so she could focus on the mass of the dead flower blossom with her right eye.

“What!” she yelled again, waddling up to the flower. The dead flower had already begun decomposing, but it was still more than twice the width of a man standing. It looked particularly large next to Milidid.
