The moment of joy was too quick, since Adrianna passed out immediately after that, falling into Lexine's arms. "The expelling of the parasite took a toll on her body. She should be alright in a while."
Lexine glanced down at her mother's mane of hair and cradled the head to her chest. "I hope so."
Adley pushed her glasses up, "Now that we are assured of your mother's safety, Lexine we need to act fast. Whoever is planning on taking you, has very obviously found out your location. It would not have been as simple to take down the parasitic shadow otherwise. It is possible that they are opening an egress as we speak. All things considered, we should leave this place at once."
"The academy," Artin spoke up for the first time. "That is the safest place. No one apart from the headmaster and the highest-ranked shadow being instructors knew of its exact location. Be as it may, if there is going to be an attack, then there is no way for the few of us to protect you and your mother."
