Umilia smiled as she shook her head, "Unlike Nyissa or others who grew up in these clans, I was never exposed to their culture despite being a witch myself. You know how my origin was no different than that of a mortal. It was only after my death I became what I am. But even now, I am still between Sae and Umilia, not being sure which persona I truly belong to."
Viktor put his hand around her neck and said, "Sae is your past, and Umilia is you in the present and future."
Umilia softly smiled as she nodded but then she remembered something and added, "But it is strange that Nyissa told me I shouldn't reveal myself as a witch in this place. She didn't say why since she also had no idea. Maybe only the elders know."
"Weird….Anyway, let's see what the natives are like," Viktor put his arm around Taya as well as the three descended down the hills.
