The demon thing made Rowan uneasy. Whatever it was, unlimited power without consequences just made him suspicious. He already had the black dream. That was the same kind of power, but at least you had to kill enemies to get it—felt like a trial, like you were earning your reward.
In the end, he couldn't go through with connecting to the demon Akatabert.
'Pandevus was a demon worshiper.'
Through the eyes, he could also see the connection between Pandevus and Akatabert. And he realized the crest's power came from the demon Akatabert. But the weird thing was that Pandevus knew how to use mana control.
'If he knew magic, it would've manifested as a black gate.'
But it didn't. And that raised another question.
'He didn't know magic, but he could use mana control.'
The truth hidden in that contradiction flickered before Rowan like a mirage. Just out of reach.
Snap!
Whatever. Rowan shook himself and got ready to decide. The Incomplete Werewolf Traits had serious side effects.
