Just then, the liquid figure of a woman appeared in mid-air behind Barker. "Stop it, Adam!"
Barker's expression darkened, and he turned around coldly. "So, you're not on my side either, Mother?"
"Stop this, Adam. Wilbur Penn cannot die, or both of us will be punished."
"Enough!" Adam roared. "Who do you think we are, Mother?"
"Are we the most powerful beings on this planet, or just slaves? I'd rather die if we were actually slaves! But if we're the most powerful beings, just let me do this one last time, Mother."
"But Adam, you…"
"Stop talking, Mother! Try and stop me, and I'll destroy the spirit contract and die along with Barker."
The liquid woman opened her mouth, but words failed her. She knew how stubborn Adam could be, and how hard it was to change his mind once he had made it up. He would actually follow through with destroying the spirit contract if she tried to convince him otherwise.
Adam was her only child, and she would rather give everything she had up than for Adam to be hurt. The woman remained silent, bowing her head.
Wilbur knew that this was bad. Barker was going to kill him if things dragged out, and the Dragon's Safehaven was going to expire eventually.
