WINTER was glad that his mother was a good liar— er, a good storyteller.
I inherited my mother's wits.
In his defense, he didn't want to die at the hands of his father.
Hence, he made a lie.
Winter said he could see the future and the past.
["I can see things that happened in the past and things that will happen in the future. Whenever I receive a vision, I feel like I'm really there. Hence, I said that I came from the future. But it was just my consciousness wandering between the past and the future."]
That was what he told his father.
And now…
"Interesting," Kalel Moonchester said. "I have no way to confirm if you can truly see the future since we have to wait for that to happen. So, tell me something that happened in the past— something that a child your age couldn't possibly have witnessed."
That was easy.
In fact, that was the reason why Winter corrected himself.
I might die, but it's worth the risk.
