After breakfast, I sit alone on the bed while perusing the magic book that Calais has bought me. I had a very nice sleep because he stayed beside me last night. Although, right now, he is in the courtyard practicing his swordsmanship.
The door opens. I look at it and freeze. I place my book beside me as I regard the woman who comes into the room. It's Tiana. She is silent as she watches me. She still looks the same, even with the begging quality on her face.
"Give me back my child, please," she whispers. "I hope you remember him now."
Then, I recall what happened to her child. How he had been sacrificed by Lyrica so she could traverse between worlds. Unfortunately, her child is already gone from this world — or from any other world.
"I don't have your child," I say.
"I know you have him. You took him away from me."
I watch her. She's not carrying any weapons at this time. "What are you doing in the Parcell estate, Tiana?" I ask instead.
