Looking at Bloodette in his embrace who was suffering from the backlash of having attacked the dungeon seal, Wyatt felt sorry for her while also frowning as Bloodette was in no shape to answer his questions. 

He went through what Bloodette said to him and realized that Bloodette was so agitated because Cortney was missing. She was alive as Bloodette could feel her through the bond between them. However, she was not able to communicate with her through the same bond as she did not receive any reply from Cortney.

The bond Bloodette talked about was the one she and Cortney developed when she helped Cortney create her ego gem. As a result, Cortney ended up creating a mutated ego gem, which not only displayed a high syntonization rate but had a high affinity to blood rule and also came with an innate blood rune 'Blood Supreme.' 

The blood rune 'Blood Supreme' connected Cortney and Bloodette in an unexplainable bond which allowed Cortey to house Bloodette in her mutant ego gem's innate rune. Which not only empowered Cortney but also allowed her to use all of Bloodette's powers while sharing her sense with Bloodette. Making use of this Innate rune, Cortney was able to bring Bloodette out of her dungeon seal and into the outside world. 

Over time Bloodette had duplicated Cortney's innate blood rune, which allowed her to store Cortney in her rune and share her senses with Cortney. This property of the duplicate innate blood rune was very beneficial to Cortney as it allowed her to get a lot more closer to the Blood Rule in the womb of the world's will at the spiritual plane. Helping her to comprehend Blood rule and its meanings at a faster pace than her mutated blood ego gem could ever allow her to. 

"Shit!" Wyatt cussed having deduced what Bloodette was trying to say. 

"Wyatt, what happened? Is she okay?" Hearing Wyatt cuss Colleen asked.

Earlier, noticing Wyatt was in deep contemplation Colleen did not disturb him for an explanation of the situation. As a soldier, she was used to not asking questions and doing what was asked of her. Even after she became a queen this habit that she had cultivated in Southern Watch did not leave her. Which was why she was not the great queen or the kind queen but the soldier queen.

"Yes, she is the Blood Supreme. This much is nothing for her racial traits to handle. As for the pain, she can only bite her lips and walk it off. The problem is Cortney. She is missing," Wyatt explained but did not go into details about Cortney's situation since he was busy using his pupils to find the duplicate innate rune in Bloodette's body. 

The soul records Hive AI had previously made of Cortney and Bloodette were a big help here. Giving Wyatt an idea of what to look for and where to begin the search.

Colleen was happy to learn that Wyatt's friends were not dead. Even though Wyatt did not make a big deal about it, the Southern Family was seriously disappointed in its failure to not his friends. Her daughter was especially disappointed and furious. Therefore instead of continuing to repair their diplomatic relationship across the world using the promise of VR-universe cards she planned to return to the southern region and get the house in order. 

What was the use of strong foreign relations when the house was failing from the inside? Therefore she decided to pause her foreign relations plan for now and return home to do the things that needed to be done to secure the strong reign of the Heatsend family over the Southern Region through a royal engagement. 

Colleen continued to be a silent bystander not letting her curiosity and confusion disturb his concentration and thought process. Looking at Wyatt's mystical eyes that seemed to be peering into every secret in its path, she wondered how he would react to the announcement his daughter was soon going to make. She wondered if she should give him a heads-up. 

However, she knew that her daughter never did anything without thinking them through and must have plans about this. A way that would not only finally make things official but also not offend Wyatt. Colleen did not think that was possible but he daughter has achieved the impossible many times so she chose to believe in her judgment and stay quiet. As she preferred her granddaughter's engagement to be official and not speculations spreading through word of mouth. 

"This is going nowhere," Wyatt muttered as he and his eleven other consciousnesses along with Hive AI explored every corner of Bloodette's blood rule body and soon found the duplicate innate rune but they were not able to explore it. They needed Bloodette's cooperation for that. Despite that Wyatt tried to read the blood rune and trace its bond with the original but all of his attempts failed. 

"Can't we do anything to help with her pain?" Colleen asked thinking that the faster Bloodette was able again the faster they would be able to find the answers they need for searching the Tao Tongue that was missing. 

Though Blood Supreme claimed that the Tao of Tongue was still alive, Colleen was starting to feel that Blood Supreme was unable to cope with her friend's death and sticking to a delusion fooling herself. No, she was not being cold-hearted but she had seen many soldiers go through this on the battlefield. Regardless of how strong-willed and professional one was some death just hit too hard and one cannot help but let the death haunt them for the rest of their lives. It was what it was. 

"No, I have no idea how to help her with this. Even if I had a way to help, us helping her would only intensify the punishment of the dungeon seal."
