Neith gazed at the twinkling stars in the night sky, reflecting on the question she had received. Being close to Ethan stirred a mix of conflicting emotions within her. Despite the close relationship they had developed, she couldn't fully trust him. She knew Ethan had agreed to travel with her only because he couldn't defeat her yet.
Neith felt somewhat compelled to reveal more about her intentions to maintain her relationship with Ethan, but she also understood that sharing too much could put her in a vulnerable position. The truth about the wish she wanted to ask for was that it was to resolve a great weakness, and if Ethan ever found out, he could use it against her. She hadn't told Ethan that she couldn't use any magic on Earth due to the enchantment that had imprisoned her in her tomb. She had managed to escape that place thanks to him, but once outside, she discovered she couldn't use any abilities.
