The McCall Family Manor.
Grey was standing in an open space, staring at the affinity stone with interest. Inside his body, a foreign energy was trying to attach itself to his core. Realizing how strange the energy was, Grey couldn't help but feel a little scared. If he had come here a few weeks earlier, there's a chance he wouldn't have even sensed the presence of the foreign energy, given how well hidden it was. The only reason he could sense it now was due to the increase in his consciousness. Thanks to whatever happened during the last hours of refining Jacob Vaergahl's blood essence, his consciousness is stronger than before, the same could be said for his spiritual senses, making it stronger.
