Ezekiel furrowed his brow upon seeing the serious look on his mother's face, but then he quickly followed his mother and father on their way inside their private study. He was eager to find out what it was that his mother wanted to talk to him about.
"The mark. I now remembered it," his mother immediately said as soon as they were inside. At that instant, he already understood what his mother meant. It was about the mark on Tarah's back that he had sent to her in their missives.
"It's a mark that will appear on persons under the Tophet Bloodchain spell," Queen Dana informed, followed by a sigh.
Tilting his head slightly to the side, Ezekiel asked, "What is that spell, Mother?"
So that meant Tarah was under a spell, and it was something she couldn't disclose to him. He still remembered how she firmly told him that she couldn't tell him and would not disclose anything about that mark they found on her back.
