Morning came and my mind is still baffled of the situation. My other companions are still sleeping soundly, probably still indulged with the feast yesterday. Truth be told, this picture just opened up a lot of questions. "Who is Lady Elena and the Marquis?", "Why are they with my mother?", "Why is the picture torn?". To ease my mind, I decided to go out the manor. Tick showed me the way out and surprised to know that they can freely revert the distortion spell from the manor. I activated Overseer to check my surroundings for danger, to no avail. With a heavy heart and fumbled mind, I walked around the ancient forest surrounding the manor.
