The dangerous truth

Author's note: this is from Aldus's point of view

I went to my lab, and then to the indoor garden.

I stood in front of the Verveine tree and called, "Glatellia, we need to talk."

Silence. Just as I expected.

"You know why I'm here. We found some information on Serina, and I need your help to make sense of it."

I sat on the ground with my legs crossed and propped my chin on my palm.

"I can sit here for a long time…", I said while trying to suppress my irritation.

Glatellia is willful and she refuses to give me answers when I need them, but this was the fastest way for me to get the information I need.

It would be a waste of time and resources to search for answers through realms when a universal encyclopedia is living in my lab.

Glatellia's ability allows her to see things and even though she normally doesn't talk to me, I believe that this time it will be different.
