"No, no," the Eye interjected smoothly, raising a shadowed hand to halt her train of thought before it derailed completely. "I am not saying that Lexel was the perpetrator of the carnage. That is impossible in any logical way. The timeline and the sheer scale of the aether required make it an absolute impossibility."
The cloaked figure paused, his unseen gaze piercing through the gloom.
"I am simply saying," the Eye concluded, his tone dripping with a dangerous curiosity, "that breaking a master-tier necromantic tether took far more than a mere re-enactment of violence."
Cresty remained silent, her brow furrowed as her mind aggressively parsed through the Eye's cryptic words. If Lexel wasn't the perpetrator of the Yunjaar massacre, but possessed a skill set, a presence, and an aura of trauma identical to the calamity itself... what exactly was he?
