Marcus's lips trembled as he answered my question, "The Ferans... they're still inside the prison. We keep them in a secured area that only Grandmaster Hugh and maybe four or five others can access."
I narrowed my eyes. "Secured how?"
"It's underground. Heavily warded. You need a entry token. Even if someone finds the location, they can't get in without the token."
I leaned in a little closer. "What are they doing to the Ferans?"
He looked away.
Steve stepped forward and casually cracked his knuckles. "You were doing great, man. Don't lose momentum now."
Marcus's jaw clenched. He hesitated, but the violet Essence still clinging to his brain twitched under my control. A thin stream of blood dripped from his nose.
"They're... running experiments," he finally muttered.
"Experiments?" I echoed.
"To... to figure out how to use Ferans to control the Abominations."
My mind stopped for a second.
Steve blinked. "Come again?"
Marcus's voice was quieter this time.
