A PLAGUE.
THE PLAUGE.
HE WAS ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE TO SUFFER FROM MYRIOSTICA, A NEW PLAGUE DISCOVERED IN ANTARCTICA. MYSTLYN SAKURA STEPPED OUT THE SHIP AFTER HIM, AND NOTICED HIS SEVERE ILLNESS.
"NYLES? YOU ALRIGHT?" SHE ASKED.
"Y-YEAH, I THINK SO..." HE SAID, IN SHORT GASPS.
MYST WALKED WITH HIM TO A HOTEL, WHERE THEY STAYED FOR THE NIGHT. NEXT MORNING, SOMETHING GRAVE HAD HAPPENED.
HE WAS A DEMON.
MYST RUBBED HER EYES. "NYLES..?"
"WHAT?" HE MUMBLED, CLEARLY NOT LIKING HIS NEW FORM.
"W-WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU..?" SHE ASKED.
