The days passed without anything special happening. However, after going to the church, Zach didn't meet Bell Avalon or Sonya. This made him think that something was going on.
Today, realizing there was nothing else he could do, he decided to return to the Gatekeeper ranks.
Before leaving, Zach looked at his reflection in the lantern's light. Saying, "When I'm not around her. You are tasked to protect her, if something happens, you know what to do."
No clear response, but Zach soon knew that the shadow creature occupying his reflection seemed to nod. It was Wraith Zach.
"Ilya, I'm going to the gate," Zach informed Ilya.
Ilya just nodded. Zach's changes made Ilya somewhat awkward. Although she thought with the presence of a child in her womb, they could become a normal family.
