The truth [3]

'...Am I seeing things?' 

In one moment, Kiera's world went dark, and when she awoke, she was greeted by a sight she never thought possible.

Her aunt, that annoying, sadistic aunt of hers... she was crying. 

'Am I dreaming?' 

Kiera found the situation so unbelievable that she bit down on her tongue. But as the pain from her action hit, she realized she wasn't imagining it. 

Her aunt... she was truly crying. 

But why? Why would that heartless woman cry? 

'Could it be him?' 

Kiera's gaze eventually fell towards Julien. 

Indeed, if there was one person capable of pulling such a feat, it was him. His emotive power was amongst the strongest within the Empire. Yes, within the Empire. 

He was no longer just the strongest in the academy. 

His Emotive magic was now on par with the best within the Empire. 

If it was him... 

"I didn't do this."
