"Drench in…" Aether muttered under his breath, his brows furrowing as he tried to decipher the cryptic symbols. "What does that even mean?"
His frown deepened when he squinted at the next set of symbols, "H... Head of... what?" he said aloud, his voice tinged with frustration. He could vaguely interpret the meaning as 'head,' but the lingering question gnawed at him—whose head?
A chill crept down his spine as his eyes shifted toward the cube where Aqualina and Celestia remained trapped inside.
Aether's expression turned grave... With a sense of urgency, he grabbed the stack of pages he had 'retrieved' from the mysterious old mansion, spreading them out in front of him. Every word he could make sense of might be a lifeline.
