Elysia left Magnus alone with a new sense of hope. She had her information.
Maybe it would be helpful. Maybe it wouldn't. But now she knew what they were up against. Now it wouldn't be so much of a surprise.
Yet, somehow, the Royals were even bigger of a mystery to her. Their immortality made her wonder if they could even die.
Ghost was waiting outside the building as she shoved open the door.
"You get anything?" She asked with a yawn through her mask.
Elysia paused again. She was familiar. So familiar. Why couldn't she place her finger on it?
Elysia nodded. "Yeah. Keep guarding him. I still don't think he's secure, even with those handcuffs. He's not to be trusted."
Ghost nodded. She looked like she wanted to ask Elysia more but decided against it.
Elysia left her behind. There wasn't time to answer any more questions. She needed to find Kael. To tell him what they were up against.
Does he deserve to know? the fragment asked in her mind.
