"Milady, how did you manage to stay alive? We all thought you were..." John's voice trailed off, but Isabella understood the unspoken words hanging in the air.
"I had to make a desperate choice at the final moment. I used what little power I had left to teleport myself out of there," Isabella began, her voice tinged with both relief and regret. "Sadly, I ended up in this continent and was soon captured by people who trade slaves. I lived as a slave for many hard months. But then, just when it seemed like all hope was gone, a human man bought me—not for any nefarious purpose, but to take care of his daughter. His name is William, and he's... he's different."
Isabella took her time to tell her story, explaining in simpler terms how she ended up on this continent, how she lived under harsh conditions as a slave, and how a turn of fate led her to William. She told John about the new life she was leading, where she was staying, and what she had been up to recently.
