JJ met his gaze steadily, the weight of the question lingering in the air. She took a slow breath. If I can just get more out of him, maybe I'll have enough to figure out how to help Ty later. She tilted her head slightly, feigning curiosity. "Before? What exactly do you mean by that?"
He leaned back in his chair, swirling his drink as if savoring the moment. "I don't have all the details, but my master told me that Ty didn't arrive here as a human. His soul… it was ripped from his body, placed into a skeleton. One that had died centuries ago. But when his soul entered that body, it came back to life—flesh and all."
JJ's heart skipped a beat, but she maintained her composure. That lines up with what Ty told me, but why does this man know so much?
"My master believes that whoever brought him here—whoever ripped his soul from his original body—put him into the last living demon on this planet."
JJ's brow furrowed. "Last demon? What are you getting at?"
