Vela's P.O.V
My body felt heavy and sore. But I did not mind the pain. I welcomed it and allowed it to fester within me until it took me so I can finally rest. My children and grandchildren are already fine and happy with their lives. I was already content with my own and there was nothing else for me to protect anymore. In short, I was already bored with life. I mean, there is the case with the hollow child planning to compete in the man-eater's queen fight. But it did not stir my excitement.
There was nothing more for me to stay in this world above. It is time for me to move on and let the young ones grow by themselves. That was my original plan. Seeing these two children exude vengeful tones in their spirits. I could not help but prod into their minds to look into the matter. It has been a long time since I saw someone have an angry soul. Mind as well make the best of it.
Were they not the missing children of the late lady Esmeralda?
