Chapter 36

　　Unable to wrap her head around what Vivi is saying, Niya breaks her silence. “How do you know about the Crone?”

　　“Everybody does. You were lost in the woods that night and when you came back you were acting very violently... you were pointing towards invisible enemies and scratching, pouncing on everybody.”

　　Niya exhales the breath she was unknowingly holding back. She is talking about a different incident, the one Donny was telling her while they were traveling. Well he forgot to mention the event involving the Crone. Thinking of her gives Niya the chills.

　　“Wolves are dying...everywhere there is bloodshed.” Vivi continues with a grim tone. Father told me that this alliance is crucial but you are too volatile for any agreement. We supposed that you will stay out of sight voluntarily, that you have no interest in anything. He was concerned that whatever you do will not be diplomatically okay. But you are doing the opposite now. What if you got into real trouble yesterday?”
