Much to anyone's expectations, the mention of Phantoms didn't ring a bell for Pyris, as was typical for someone who had spent their entire life in the mortal realm. Song mused inwardly, acknowledging the stark reality: how could someone as young as Pyris know the existence of such fearsome creatures?
Their very being had been shrouded in the deepest shadows of time, their history erased, their whereabouts concealed from the minds of mortals as the centuries marched on.
Before long, the Phantoms disappeared from the annals of history, slipping into the realms of the unknown. Even the most influential figures in the empires—those who commanded armies and entire kingdoms—had no inkling of their existence.
Song could only admire how fiercely protective Emberly had been of her children, going so far as to hide life-threatening secrets such as the Phantoms from them.
