Going Into Seclusion

"Big brother, I want to go with you," she said, her voice filled with determination. 

After a night of lovemaking, Karsha and Lady Illo left the room and went to see the elders to reassure them that she was stable and wouldn't be turning evil anytime soon. 

Karsha also updated them about his awakening, though he kept the prophecy Zalgorath had told him a secret.

Once everything was settled, he headed out with Starr, the shadow guards, Lady Illo, and Morris to see the progress they had made.

In less than two months, they had transformed the once dangerous island into a safer and more elegant place. Karsha noticed they were even building a teleportation gate. He wanted to ponder it more, but remembering what Lady Illo had said, he let it be. 

The curse had suppressed their professions, and now that they were free, their innate hidden talents had begun to awaken.
