Promise Me

Ileus was listening to Faris with a baited breath. His fists had closed so tightly that his knuckles were white. Faris took another bog swig and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve. 

One of the serpents opened the sack, took the little unconscious girl out and transferred her into what looked like a casket. The winged woman touched the casket and it got encased with cerulean lights that danced around it." Faris licked his lips with his tongue. "The pure blood nodded. Others joined him in lifting the coffer and then they all walked inside the ocean with it. I don't know whether the girl survived or not…" He drank more. 

"Did you see that winged woman again?" asked Kaizan. 

Faris shook his head. "No, she never came."

"Did you see the girl in the casket coming out… ever?" asked Anastasia hoping that he did see.
