Vaslavis Clan: The Past (23)

Erwin immediately halted in his tracks. The old man tried to remember the conversation that they had earlier. 

It was clear to him that she wanted to see her mother and father.

It was clear to him that Zarya understood what his words entailed despite being so young. 

It was her choice to go back to the cave to spend her last moments with her clan. 

So why did she raise that request all of a sudden?

He was evidently befuddled from his deeply furrowed brows and quivering gaze. Erwin could feel his heart beating in a heedless manner. He truly didn't know how to respond to the little girl.

What Erwin didn't know was that Zarya had a dream. 

Soon enough, Zarya fell asleep once more and saw the very same dream.

"Mommy? Daddy?" The little girl called before she could open her eyes.
