Fourth Vessel—II

Estelle couldn't believe what she found. Had they reached the underground of the mansion? That would mean that this is where her mother's body was stored. This wooden box is her mother's coffin!

Wanting to be sure, Estelle closed her eyes and in her head she could see the golden thread concentrated into a ball of light inside the coffin.

It's true!

Estelle unhesitatingly placed her hand to the sides of the coffin and tried to pry it open. It took her a while to realize that the coffin was nailed firmly as if to make sure what's inside couldn't come out. Elle became annoyed. Not only was her mom hidden in such a dark place, alone, and desolated, they had made sure to nail her mother's body inside the coffin to make sure she would never have a peaceful rest.
