"No...for some reason, your body was immediately able to adapt to my mana, so there was no need to go through the usual process." Meiv answered.
"And how long does this process usually take?"
"Usually 2 minutes."
"Did it take 2 minutes for both Miya and Reina, then?"
"Well, for Reina, yes; but for Miya, it only took 5 seconds."
Solomon giggled faintly. He left the twins and walked to Erenea, who was standing still. "Now explain how you managed to lose Miya." He started down at her wide-eyed, his smile almost like a me laugh.
The twins started at them silently.
"..."Erenea sighed. "I didn't lose him... he was taken." Solomon giggled.
Erenea put her face down to the floor, her brows furrowed as she avoided his face. "When I was in my dragon form, I moved in the astral world where only spirits exist; immediately I entered the astral world, it felt like something was missing but it was only after I had arrived the forest with Reina that I realised what it was."
"But why did you travel through the astral world?" Neal asked.
"Because -"
"That's enough." Solomon interrupted, walking away from Erenea, a triumphant look on his face as he sunk into the couch.
Everyone was confused.
"What is it now?" Erenea asked, the annoyance still on her face.
"Um? Solomon? Is everything alright?" Nael asked.
"Do you need something?" Neal asked.
"It's over." Solomon said, sighing a breath of relief.
Everyone was still confused.
"You finally gave up?" Erenea asked; the twins exclaimed. "What! Really?!"
"No. No." Solomon laughed. "I've discovered the identity of the creature."
"Oh. Alri- Eh?" Erenea said.
"What?! How?!" Nael yelled.
"Nael, stop yelling, please." Neal said.
Erenea started at him silently. "And who do you think it is?"
"Erenea, are you familiar with Levero Gavstadi?" Solomon asked, turning on his back.
Erenea shook her head, "But I've heard of him."
"What?! Who doesn't know him?! He was one of the best authors of all time, not much of him is known but everyone that's ever read his books call him a genius and even till now everyone still remembers the stories he made." Nael said excitedly.
