	Dnias was mildly surprised and presented curiosity with an angling of his head when Mili screamed. At that time he attempted to subdue her with a telepathic connection. This subliminal connection is designed to calm a person by way of manipulating dopamine levels and the production of specific peptides in the brain. A procedure that is normally effective unless applied to a person with advanced forms of Telesthesia, Telegnosis, Psychokinetic, or…  psychoincarnate abilities. It quickly became clear that this child was gifted with one of these talents, and which one it was became evident in the production of the frail dead that materialized and encroached upon his position.  

	Dnias is annoyed. He has underestimated his victim. She is not what he thought she was. He wishes only to feast in peace. 

	Before the dead arrive at his feet he lashes out in rage, slashing the child’s stomach with his knife. Her garment is torn and her stomach has been opened to expose her abdominal lining. As blood spills forth from her wound he turns to his attackers and raises both hands. The knife turns to dust. With a scream of his own the creature’s combust and soon turn to ash. 

	He turns to the child and pulls back his hood to expose his face. His eyes are dark orbs with a fluid surface like that of black oil. 

	“Stop!” His deep, gravelly voice is akin to man, yet loud enough to shake the cave, causing dust and fragments of stone to shower down upon them.

	Cain does not turn to the officers O’Brian. He does not falter, ignoring them. He keeps his attention on Gillian while she assesses the payment rendered, yet he does not have his vessel. 

	Following several moments of wait, he places one hand upon her desk. From his point of contact, blackened veins spread out like roots of a tree through the very fabric of the material it is made from. Within seconds the desk and all thereon is consumed and turned to dust. All that remains is Gillian, her seat, and the extravagant payment Cain has provided.  

	“Where is my vessel?”
