[ALLOW PARTIAL ACCESS TO PARASITE?]
[YES / NO]
Raziel didn't answer.
The Parasite didn't wait for a response.
CRACK!
The first crack on the Chalice was so fine that Celestine didn't see it.
A line as thin as a hair that ran down the black metal from top to bottom, and from that crack, a thread of violet light came out and bent inward, toward him, as if something was pulling it from his chest.
Celestine moved the chalice another inch closer.
"Breathe," she said. "The process is painless if you relax."
Raziel did not relax.
Because what he felt in his sternum was a hunger that wasn't his, hot and completely out of control.
The Parasite twisted inside its magic capsule.
Raziel gritted his teeth.
'No. Stop. Stop, stop, stop...'
CRAAAACK!
It simply split in half and the violet light that filled it shot out like steam, straight into Raziel's chest.
ZMMM!
Raziel felt the impact, his ribs creaked against the leather straps.
