Location- Sky Blossom City, Dungeon Highway, blood rock cave gate dungeon seal.

"So, Wyatt, what do you need my help with?" Cortney asked after all that was why she was here.

"Well, I want to hide this card in the dungeon seal," I said taking out the bonded storage card which contained the storage card holding the heathen stone box that housed the calamity tarp trapping demigod Redfall's soul.

"A storage card? Don't tell me you got yourself a five-finger discount. How could you, you should have called me, I am an expert in this field. Though recently I did not need to use it." hearing me asking her to hide a storage card Cortney's imagination ran wild and concluded that I helped myself to what others may consider as a crime but Cortney considered as fun.

"Yeah, something like that." Not wanting to fuel Cortney's curiosity I just agreed with Cortney.

"Aha, see I told you, I have a knack for these things." Cortney placed the bonded storage trunk card inside one of the empty drawers by Bloodette's bedside and added, "Don't worry buddy I got you covered."

"You mean, I got him covered. This is my house, so I am hiding the card for him." Bloodette rebutted Cortney disagreeing with her claims.

"It seems the kids didn't just teach Bloodette how to play," I said looking at Bloodette talk back to Cortney.

"Yes, just this afternoon she was like Cortney what's mine is yours but now that she has new friends, she no longer wants to share stuff with me. I feel betrayed." Cortney acted sad and shed a few crocodile tears to give it a dramatic touch.

"Cortney, please don't cry, I didn't mean that. What mine is still yours, I just wanted Wyatt to think that I was helping too. If you cry I too feel like crying." Bloodette said in distress knowing that her words made Cortney, her best friend, cry.

"Aha, got you." yelling that Cortney suddenly hugged Bloodette who came to console her.

"Y-you were acting…" Cortney and Bloodette fell and rolled on the ground in each other's embrace trying to overpower each other. And the winner was Bloodette who pinned Cortney down on the ground with one arm and used the other to tickle her saying, "This is for trying to trick me."

"Stop it- haha, Bloodette, stop it, it is ticklish." Cortney urged Bloodette to stop but this only fueled the latter to continue her punishment.

"..." Seeing Bloodette and Cortney so close to each other I felt like the third wheel here, maybe I should leave the room for these two.

I saw a lot of mental maturity in Bloodette today, it seems spending some time with kids has helped her mature a lot. Usually, Bloodette was very dependent on Cortney but today I saw a Bloodette outside of Cortney's influences. Like how the kids grow their individuality by spending some time apart from their parents, Bloodette too started to show individuality having spent some time apart from Courtney by playing with the kids at the orphanage.

As for me, I felt like a heavy burden lifted off of my shoulder, having hidden the heathen stone box containing demigod Redfall's soul in the dungeon seal. When I heard Anna say that Yin Widow confronted her asking her to hand over her son, I realized that maybe despite the soul status candle's ability, Yin Widow could not pinpoint the location of her son's soul.

To be sure of this theory I went through the card info of a soul status candle card and it did not take me long to conclude that Yin Widow was not able to pinpoint the location of her son's soul because of the dungeon seal.

After going through the SSS-Rank soul status candle card info, one thing I was sure of was that the soul status candle card could exactly pinpoint the location of the child to the mother, yet Yin Widow who had the soul status card did not come to the dungeon seal searching for her reborn son instead she confronted Anna demanding her to hand her son. This could only mean that Yin Widow's soul status candle was unable to pinpoint the location of her son who entered the world of living in the dungeon seal. Otherwise, she wouldn't have bickered with Anna and directly come for her son and collected him, and then she would have fled like there was no tomorrow.

Despite knowing the risks involved Yin Widow confronted Anna begging Anna to give her son to her and stubbornly stayed till it cost Yin Widow her life, instead of just dashing to the location of her son pinpointed by the soul status candle. There could be only a few reasons for this stupidity displayed by Yin Widow.

First, the obvious, there was some misunderstanding. But that was highly impossible because the Soul status candle was a legend-grade card and if it was working it had no room for error. Considering that Yin Widow knew her son had entered the world of living it can be seen that the Soul status candle was working.

Second, the debatable, Yin Widow was dumb. But this point was moot considering that she had achieved the peak that many card apprentices dreamed of. Yes, god takes care of fools and drunkards but not to this point. One could only reach the peak if one had what it takes to be there.

Third, the viable, Soul Status candle was unable to pinpoint the exact location of Yin Widow's reborn son because of an unknown interference which she mistook as Anna's doing and confronted Anna asking for her son. Thinking of the unknown interference blocking the ability of the legend-grade soul status candle card, only one thing came to my mind the mysterious dungeon seal that could seal the blood supreme. Since it could suppress the blood supreme it could avoid the tracing of the soul status candle.
