Chains Of The Past

Silently, Zeyn observed the scene and understood what was happening. After watching the little girl leave, he looked back at the figure on the bed, the woman who had been playing with the child. His brows furrowed slowly as he realized that the demon he was seeking was indeed so close to Aidera. She appeared to be like a mother taking care of her own child, playing along with Aidera's imagination.

Her smile while playing with young Aidera was genuinely warm, as was her expression when she shifted her gaze toward Zeyn in the middle of the room. Now they stared at each other in silence, as if analyzing something understood only by their respective minds.

"I understand, so that's how it is," Zeyn murmured flatly. "This must be the mansion Aidera mentioned in her vision."
