Something Wasn't Right

"Wait, you are saying you don't remember reaching the Altar at all? You are not trying to make fun of us, right?" Rean asked from the other side. He couldn't see Aelrie very well, so it was hard to tell if she was lying from such a distance.

"I'M NOT!" Aelrie was already losing her patience. "Why don't you two believe me? I'm telling you, all I can remember was Kentucky leaving me behind and suddenly coming back. I've not seen the Altar at all!"

Rean narrowed his eyes. "Kentucky, didn't you two pass by the Altars before we met for the first time? Did the same thing happen back then?"

Kentucky shook his head. "It didn't. However, we weren't intending to use the Altar, so we didn't really get close to it. This time, when Aelrie left my back, we were several times closer to it than when we just passed by."
