Something inside me was tearing. I could feel it happening, my consciousness starting to fragment just like every other victim the Harvester had marked. Terror flooded through me. This was it. I was going to become another glowing piece in its collection, another soul waiting to be fed to Xarath. But then something else kicked in. Something deeper than fear or pain or desperation. My bloodline. The Kaelix gift that made me what I was. "Soul Unbinder." The ability to sever connections, break bonds, free trapped consciousness. I’d used it before on fragments, carefully cutting threads while Gia talked me through each step. But I'd never tried it like this. Never attempted to unbind while being actively drained, while fighting for my life, while my own consciousness was being torn apart
