(Chapter 61:Mira's Pov)
Lillian's laughter clung to my skin like poison, her final words looping in my head like a curse.
The Abyss of Darkness is Lorenzo.
I had come here for answers, for the missing piece of the prophecy that had been haunting me since the moment I stepped into this world. But instead of clarity, I walked away with a truth I could barely stomach.
I gripped my cloak tighter around me as I stepped into the cool night air, my pulse hammering. My mind screamed at me to think, to make sense of it all, but the only thing I felt was betrayal.
Lillian had been cruel in her delivery, savoring the moment she saw the realization dawn on my face. You want the final piece, Mira? The Abyss of Darkness… the one destined to drag the world into ruin? She had leaned in, eyes gleaming with amusement. It's him. It's always been him.
