His most closely guarded secret that no one in the world knew, except Valerian, was now being spoken by a mysterious creature of the Spirit World that he'd only met a handful of times.

A few moments later he snapped out of his shock and involuntarily gulped in nervousness. "I-I don't know what you're talking about," he said.
The butterfly continued to hover before the youth, flapping its butterfly gracefully.
The silence was deafening and Adam didn't know what else to stay. His mind was somewhere else entirely and his heart was raging with tumultous waves.
How did it know?! He thought to himself in extreme alarm.
