[Rael's POV]
"The gaze is gone." Ra's voice echoed in the domain as I looked at him. "I guess Hel did listen to you. From how quickly the gaze retreated, she must have withdrawn before it even arrived."
I smirked. "Good thing. Who knows what might have happened to my peacefully sleeping, handsome body if those two decided to have some kind of spiritual death match."
And honestly… that really was the only reason I warned her. If my body hadn't been involved, I wouldn't have cared even if she fought the Gaze spiritually, sacrificed her avatar or pulled out some god-level nonsense.
Hell, I would have even enjoyed the show with some popcorn.
"I'll go back then." I nodded toward Ra.
For the first time since I had met him, his face didn't carry sarcasm or annoyance, all I could see was exhaustion… and relief.
When I first encountered this little guy, I had been skeptical but even I couldn't deny the fact that I wouldn't have survived the Mind Harvester without him.
