The Eterna must have mistaken him for some other alien. It means when the Etherna was constructing their stairway, someone was hiding and watching over them
Borgan look at him and Azief don't know whether he was mistaken or not, but he could swear he saw Borgan smiling at him before the Etherna waved his hand and then the memory stopped there.
Azief then opens up his eyes and he falls down into the tenth step like a broken kite. He managed to float at the very end and he landed slowly onto the step
He closes his eyes and take a few deep breaths. His heart is beating furiously and it take him a while before he could clam his beating heart.
He took a deep breath and then he slowly gets up.
'What the hell?' he thought to himself.
'So, the Thirteen Steps was originally built by the Etherna race? But why?' Azief thinks again.
