In Loki's Honor Life 5 - Chapter 17 - Bare your Core

I hid in a partially collapsed set of shacks. The core was too shiny to hide and I had a hunch that it was too valuable to leave behind. I also needed ti to rest and regenerate a throat and a mouth. My jaw hadn't fallen off but it ca close. Drinking demon blood is not an experience I recomnd. I had no idea how long I could stay there. The slums were on fire, most of the people that lived here beca food for the demon, and the city was going to shit.

I hoped my family was fine. They were on the other side of the city. The despair of not knowing was greater than the pain.
