Zann sighed as he remembered a memory from the past. He was walking back to his house in Hesreth Town as he recalled what had happened years ago.
Since then, he hadn't told Aranea that he is her familiar. He was too embarrassed to admit, let alone too focused on improving himself in terms of his power and skills at the same time.
Zann remembered how he told her in her sleep to improve herself. Zann remembered how he also promised her that he would do his best to improve himself to protect her when she needed it.
As the years went by, he was training his powers in secret. Since Aranea summoned him, he hadn't gone back home to his realm for him to get familiar with their world as well.
Since then, he had been watching Aranea from afar. He did his best to keep his identity from her because somehow, he wanted to have his freedom to himself.
Zann was torn.
