Walking through Miracle's headquarters, Jade enjoyed the tranquility of the gardens as she wondered why Zaphreal had called for her. Thus far, he had refused to speak. It was clear he was on guard against others.
"Why did dad tell me to meet you here?" She finally asked as they made their third journey around the gardens.
Jade remembered hearing that Eldrian used to also enjoy spending his time in these same gardens, back when he was still working for Miracle. Especially the tree they were currently standing under.
Zaphreal sighed, struggling to say what needed to be said. "Those damn fools." He muttered, turning his head towards the sky, only to find the vibrant purple flowers of the tree welcoming him.
"Jade, what I am going to tell you needs to stay between us." Zaphreal said, continuing to say that the only other who knew about this was Oier, her father. "Too many are becoming rushed now that we are so close to realizing our ideals..."
