It was a voice that seemed too far and yet near at the same time. For a second, Sol thought he was in a completely different place as he was motioned to step closer, his ears grasping the said voice as it began to speak in a gentle yet powerful tone.
"You have arrived at last. I've been waiting for you."
Sol was stunned, unable to speak for a few moments.
It was only when he heard Avelina speaking again that pulled Sol back to reality.
"Mistress, my apologies for being late," Avelina uttered, lowering her head in a completely submissive gesture.
Sol blinked and looked ahead but was once again shocked.
There wasn't anyone there.
