Jackal Among Snakes
Chapter 538
‘Doctor Raven’ was a shallow imitation of the man that Argrave recalled seeing in Erlebnis’ realm when he had absorbed the knowledge from the book in the Archives. Tall with natural gray hair, pale skin, and an ever-stoic demeanor, he examined Sophia twice a week to track what was occurring within her body magically and physically. He kept track of her health just as much as the magical phenomenon within.
Sophia obediently underwent examination without so much as a peep. When it was done, some of her caretakers took her aside that they might speak to the Alchemist in private.
The Alchemist stayed in his human form, his eyes gray emotionless slates. “Sophia has never been healthier. And so long as she draws breath, she always will be healthy. Her health is instinctual. Hause was right—creation, if not life itself, springs within her being. Her soul and her power are interlinked so completely as to be indistinguishable from one another. Thus far, it sustains her, keeps her safe. But it can do much more than that.”
“What does that mean for her?” Argrave asked, sitting on a chair backward while resting his arms on its back.
The Alchemist held out his hand. It split, and plants budded upward as demonstration. “If she wishes, and if she gains mastery over it, Sophia could create life. You’ve experienced it yourself—you were subject to her, and with instinct alone, she used your flesh to birth you anew.”
Argrave narrowed his eyes. “Used my flesh? That’s hardly ‘anew.’”
“The point remains. That which she touches, she can give life to. If she had a dead body before her, she could create a soul to fill it. She could change the body of another to match what she wanted. And indeed—if she learned how, she could change the memories, sentiments, and thoughts that you hold.” He gestured at Argrave. “I’ve analyzed your body. I don’t see any fundamental changes in you. Still, Sophia’s power might be subtler than anything I might see.
“The Heralds used Sophia’s power, imprisoning her within a pocket realm that was so distorted it mirrored itself in the real world.” The Alchemist held out his hands and waved to all three of them present. “We have the opportunity to do the same.”
“The Heralds were quite literally pulling her soul apart,” Argrave said coldly, rising to his feet.
The Alchemist tilted his head. His human features seemed to grow more monstrous by the second. “Did she seem pained by this?”
