"Cassandra, can we talk?" Elizabeth blocked Cassandra from entering the door. Her voice was laced with seriousness and her eyes locked on her.

They were standing by the door of their room, and it was already nighttime.

All day long, Elizabeth wasn't able to speak with her at all. As soon as they wake up in the morning, they have to prepare and attend the first ritual. But as soon as the ceremony was finished and the first lessons would begin, Cassandra had already disappeared.
