Katherine's eyes fluttered, gleaming like butterflies as they surrounded her, their delicate wings carrying a hidden message. She struggled against Xavier's grip, her mind highly intoxicated, perceiving everyone as a potential threat. Articanth's warning about the precious jewel she possessed and the creatures that would come to claim it echoed in her thoughts.
Observing the butterflies, Xavier studied their intricate patterns as they danced before his eyes. Realization flooded over him, Zayden's words echoing in his mind. These butterflies were the fragmented soul of the demon, searching for their master to bring about eternal freedom.
Lia rushed to the scene, her breath ragged, mirroring Xavier's concern. Tension filled the chilly alley as their eyes met in silent understanding. Could Katherine be behind Ziana's attack? No, that couldn't be true! Lia couldn't help but feel sorry for Ziana, who believed Katherine to be her best friend, trusting her more than anyone in the world.
