Calista had just taken the high - level nutrient fluid from Alexander and was about to drink it when she heard his words . She lowered her head and looked at her hand , only to find blue - violet blotches spreading rapidly across her skin . They soon covered her entire hand , looking disturbingly grotesque . Her face instantly turned pale , and her eyes widened in shock . Noticing her reaction , Alexander quickly handed her a vial . " This is the antidote . Drink it now .

" Without a second of hesitation , Calista took the vial and swallowed its contents . The moment the liquid entered her system , a wave of coolness spread through her body .
