As he lifted it to his mouth, he saw her mouth part slowly, almost in a sensual-like anticipation.

He tilted the bottle. The greenish blue liquid shimmered in the bottle. Just as it began to flow downwards towards his mouth. . .Selina snatched it!

Nexus' eyes went dead. The color drained from his face. His jaw dropped dramatically, and the corner of his lips upturned in astonishment. Like rumbling thunder in the stormy night sky, shock reverberated through out his entire being.

Still holding the precious vial in her hand, she backed away from him- face still straight like a psychopath;

"Well, I had to find out if it wasn't poisonous." she shrugged nonchalantly; "That was the only way."

Nexus' eyes bulged with shock. His eye brows shot up so high, it looked like they were going to be permanently up there for a while. But Selina was about to shock him even more. Suddenly, without any warning at all, she threw her head back and drained the whole vial in one gulp!

The folds of flesh on Nexus' forehead formed even deeper ridges. His low hanging jaw dropped even lower, as his breath seized momentarily.

What in the fuck?

Did she just. . .

Did she really just. . .

Mind reeling, he watched as her long silver hair fell behind her as she drained the vial. The boos lady did not let up. She held it in place over her mouth- letting every single drop slide out of the cone-shaped glass container on to her waiting pink tongue.

Breathless- Nexus watched with round eyes and raised eye brows.

A couple of seconds streaked by painfully before she finally let it down. The glass vial rolled by it self on the long table, and landed in a rut the the edge.

But neither of them cared. They both feasted their eyes upon each other- eager for the results.

"Here," Nexus stood up, offering her his seat; "You may need to sit down for this."

"Mister Ni Yang, never presume to tell me what I need and what I don–"

For a brief moment, her eyes flashed icy blue, and her vision blurred. She stretched out her hand for lumbar support and Nexus took it;

"Easy now, easy," he held her soft milky white hand in his, and roped his other hand around her curvy waist line- guiding her towards the chair.

Swaying like she was intoxicated, her feet shuffled a few inches along the ground before her round bottom sank into the fluffy feathered cushion of the arm chair.

As soon as she landed on the chair, Selina's eyes shot wide open.

The blue veins on her arms screamed through her pale skin. Breathless, and stoic as a corpse, her oval face that was framed by her white hair, clenched tightly in a frozen state.

Trying his best to ease her into the process, Nexus removed his supportive hand from her back, and leaned her further back into the chair. As his hands rustled along her silk white gown, Nexus was struck by just how cold the woman was.

He pulled away from her, and took a step- fixating his gaze on her, watching her through his squinted eyes.

A gust of cool midday breeze drifted into the conference room through the six open windows facing south. In the heavens above, an ambitious cloud glided across the sky, heading towards the sun- eclispsing it rich golden rays, which in turn cut off the glowing radiance of the white conference room.

At once, the open space was plunged into a cold white atmosphere, like the inside of a ice prism.

Meanwhile Selina still remained motionless. Seated upright in her arm chair, her misty eyes burned with an icy blue in their sockets as she submitted to the encroaching effect of the elixir. In her stomach was a soothing coolness that had formed where the liquid had settled.

Like a mystical pool, the settled liquid bubbled within her.

Finding the vortex between her soul and her physical body, the fluid slowly dissipated through her on two different planes, sending gentle ripples of qi through her being, and saturating her with an innate coolness that calmed and also excited her at the same time.

Nexus feasted his eyes on her- observing her the intensity of a Wall Street broker watching? the fluctuating markets.

With the sun temporarily eclipsed outside, and with the bloodless white room looming with a palpable coldness, the temperature of the atmosphere dropped even lower. Nexus lowered his gaze;

Is that–

A cold wisp of white vapor slithered out of her nose, visibly snaking out of her nostrils in a misty cloud, curling into the air, and disappearing into the atmosphere. Slowly, but at a clearly noticeable pace, her lips slowly began to turn blue, and her wide eyes started to droop lower and lower.

Selina's eyelashes fluttered lazily as her eyelids closed shop- completely eclipsing her? eyeballs.

With her pale face even paler, and with her long white hair draping all over the sides of her face, down to her shoulders, and over her chest, the white clad woman looked like a shaman. The unnatural stillness of her form, and the shimmering cold air around her, as well as the crisp whiteness in the background, all combined to cast her in a surreal light.

She was not just beautiful- in that moment, the lady was magnificent.

Nexus stood barely three feet away, hovering over her seated still form, and observing her with curiosity flashing through his eyes.

"She's meditating?" he wondered as his careful eyes roved over her; "". . .this sort of thing happened with Crystal, and Lady Russell. . ."

He arched his head slightly to the side as he muttered to himself;

"Of course, she's trying to digest it. I guess I should have expected that. . ."

The calmness, the naturalness, and the air of mystery all around the sliver maned beauty, kept Nexus from seeing what was truly happening.

Beneath the surface, under the stretch of soft milky skin that covered her frozen body, the mana in her body began to stir. At the intersection where her consciousness met her subconsciousness, streams of mana twirled within her, rising out of the womb of her deep, in response to the drug swooshing through her.

Nexus arm swept to his left, and he pulled out the chair next to her.

"I guess I'm just going to have to wait. . ."

His shoulders turned as he glanced outside, trying to note the position of the sun in the sky.

Time crept by for the next few moments, snaking along with the speed of a snail, trapping Nexus momentarily in the long stretch of time.

Suddenly, a breath of air- more deliberate than usual, flared out of her nostrils and mouth at the same time. Nexus leaned forward.

The stoic muscles on the patch of skin above her jaw, twitched. Slowly, like the gradual unfolding of a butterfly's newly formed wings, her eyes fluttered open- revealing a pair of gleaming irises.

"Are you alright?" Nexus' concerned voice broke the ice.

Her craned neck turned towards him, meeting his gaze and peering directly into his eyes;

"I don't know, why don't you tell me mister Ni Yang, do I look okay?"
