Since we weren’t the ones to defeat the final dungeon, I didn’t get the completed blessing. I now realized that the blessing wasn’t some powerful enchantment, but a key. You needed all six parts to be able to touch the core on top of the pedestal. That led to one confusion for me. Why did they have Carmine? She might be a good tank, but there was no way they’d need her that bad. Unless…

  “They need a human to touch the lore!” I cried out. “A Fey can’t! We need to stop her!”

  Kaia’s face couldn’t help but turn ugly, telling me everything that I needed to know. The standstill between the two groups broke into chaos. The fey flooded forward at the same time as our people. My target was clear. If I could reach the pedestal, then I had to reach Carmine. They seemed to realize that, and they were all on me. As I raced forward, numerous spells and attacks were aimed in my direction. I desperately blocked or dodged them as I maintained my momentum toward her.

  The pedestal was on a staircase in the center of the room that had seemingly risen from the floor. She was taking each step one at a time as if she was in a daze. I couldn’t imagine the state of mind that she was in. She would have thought I had died. She had come here to try to clear her mind of me, only to be pulled in and used as a crony for their pns.

  They had been trying to capture a human with the appropriate blessings. They needed someone strong enough to reach the end. It likely seemed like perfect karma for Kaia to find that person as Carmine. Carmine was with me in the Faerie Pin. They would have recognized each other. Cursing at my luck, I dodged another attack.

  “Carmine! I’m here!” I yelled out as I leaped toward her.

  I took several painful hits, but I just managed to get my hand on her. I was on the ground next to the pedestal, while she was standing and reaching for it. I immediately used Ensvement. Even if she was under puppetry control, there was an authority that defeated that. I blew through Kaia’s control and took over my own. Carmine stopped inches from grabbing the orb. She blinked a couple of times and then stepped back.

  Her confused eyes fell on me. I looked up at her, giving an awkward smile.

  “M-master?”

  “Hey…” I groaned, still feeling the effects of being hit with a few nasty spells.

  “Master!” She lowered down and grabbed me, helping me to my feet.

  “Carmine, it’s been a while,” I said as we finally were looking at each other directly.

  Her eyes started to grow wet. “I… thought you were dead.”

  “Never…” I forced a smile on my face.

  “Master!” She reached out and grabbed me, hugging me tightly.

  Since she no longer was wearing much of a breastpte, I could feel her rge soft things pressing against me nicely. It was a feeling that I was sure Anne would find bsphemous.

  “It’s been a long time since I’ve held this.” A voice seemed to cut through all of the fightings going on.

  Everyone had stopped fighting and was now staring at something that had happened right next to us. Calypso was standing next to the pedestal, and in her hands was the human dungeon core, no longer under the protection of the dungeon.
