Four days later...

We finally arrived in Aegis. Everyone was tired and silent. My grandfather, William. He was the most silent. He was also to himself. He hasn't spoken to anyone other than me. I guess he still felt bad and embarrassed about how he acted.

On the other hand, Orisis and I have been ignoring each other and because of that everyone has been walking on eggshells around us.

"Grandpa, I hope it won't be a bother to you to rest at our house." I informed my grandfather.

"Okay." he responded.

I still had to explain everything to my mother in a sensible way. A way she would understand what I am talking about.

"Hey?"

I turned around and Rissa stood at a distance staring at me silently. Her expression was soft and warm. It was like she was asking me if I was okay.

"I am fine." I tell her as I smile.

"Okay." she said not prying any further.
