The Eighth Seat

With how sickly the middle-aged woman looked, when she seemed fine just yesterday, I had a feeling Vera was being hit by the same curse I was. It made me feel good to know that meant I had plenty of time to figure this out. Vera had been without her leg for a few years, so either Thalia's spell to drain her of her magic was a lot slower than we thought, or she didn't start doing it until recently.
