Chapter 34: Pursuing Secrets in Darkness

As the dragon glided gracefully through the boundless sky, Ramses couldn't help but notice Kara's skilled ease in guiding the magnificent creature. "It doesn't seem like this is your first time on a dragon," he casually remarked, a hint of curiosity in his voice.

Kara sighed, her mind traveling back to that amazing day with Eerik. It had been such a beautiful day, the last they’d had together before whatever that was at the lake. His demeanor that night still confused her. Never had she seen Eerik in such a state, and the memory still haunted her.

His attitude ever since that night had been the same. Odd, and indifferent. Nothing like the Eerik she had come to know. It was strange, almost like he was someone else entirely. That was what had convinced Kara, without a sliver of doubt, that Acheron was threatening Eerik. And, he didn’t tell her what was going on because he was trying to protect her.
