When Sybl’s messenger entered the room, she found Brad sitting on the bed with Melanie, his eyes inky black as Melanie glared at the door.
“Miss Sybl wishes for the gamma to accompany us for the summoning spell,” the female messenger said tonelessly.
Melanie watched Brad walk robotically towards the door. He turned to look at her, pleading at her with his eyes to get out of here. If it wasn't for the inky blackness, Melanie would've probably been able to see more clearly how frustrated he was.
Melanie had quickly decided to cast an illusion on Brad’s eyes to make it look like he was still under Sybl’s spell. He’d be able to gather intel for them now. But mostly, Melanie did it to avoid conflict. Because they would have attacked Brad if they knew he wasn't under Sybl's spell anymore.
