The Undyne had changed from the pretty, haughty lady that became the center of attention yesterday evening. Tendrils erupted from her arms, back, and legs while numerous eyes morphed into her malleable skin to observe whatever she found pertinent. Her body was drained of all colors but blue of various tints. She ignored the conversation, concentrating entirely on drawing water into her body and transferring it into the rune, slowly increasing the pretty luminescence in the room as the flow occupied the thick dry lines in the stone.
Elemental monsters are fascinating.
''Can you translate what I'll be saying, Teruko?'' The severe one-armed lizard lady frowned when Ama began speaking but nodded. ''It's time to lay out our labor.'' The little witch announced, causing a collective spark of dread inside your linked group.
''We've only got two solutions. A long-term cure for Hao Whitening could have been possible had... -that- not happened, but we've got to deal with reality.'' Ama spoke slowly, always waiting for Teruko's translation to ensure Hao fully understood the situation.
''First would be to redo and reinforce the ritual Tomiko did to rejuvenate Hao's soul by strengthening your links. Arawn won't be the sole influence in keeping the holes in her soul anymore. Your collective vitality will naturally heal and dispel the Whitening, but it does come with several hypothetical side effects and worries.''
''I've discovered that my predecessors did similar treatments for people considered lost causes in the past,'' Keldan commented, pinching his thin beard. ''None of them succeeded long term. Two linked human couples receiving this ritual suffered a complete Whitening two decades after their treatments. As chieftain of my soul healer clan, I cannot guarantee that you wouldn't suffer a similar fate.''
''We're not going blind into this, trust me. Ten doctors were debating and researching the potential side effects.'' Tomiko added her confidence projected some arrogance, but perhaps nervousness skewed your perception.
''What -is- certain is the strengthening of your soul links.'' Ama's changed body robbed her of her witchery gravitas when she tried to appear important. ''You've all had your link long enough to imagine what this means; everything your link can do will be reinforced. Telepathy in combat, Arawn might be able to cast his magic <span class="mu-r">through</span> one of you...''
''Meaning we'll have one hell of a coordination, huh?'' Elina commented, full of smug satisfaction.
''Indeed, I'll talk about the complications because this is what you <span class="mu-s">all</span> need to think about.'' Ama cleared her throat and refreshed it with the small gourd she had brought.
