Alora attended the mourning ceremony of her grandmother. Her family was astonished to see her awake because, until early that morning, they had received news that Alora would wake up after a year.
Magnus took it upon himself to explain Alora's quick transformation to her bewildered relatives.
Norman approached them, an expression of deep regret etched on his face. "I owe both of you an apology," he began, his voice filled with remorse. "My one wrong decision of not letting my mother get punished earlier led to a series of unfortunate incidents."
"It's alright, Norman," Magnus said, his tone measured. "I was in so much rage that I ripped your mother's heart out. Because of the old woman, Alora is no longer human," he stated, glancing at his wife, who stood a little distance away with her mother and sister.
