Zara's eyes blurred again as her body began to dissolve into mist.
Hemiros watched silently, her hand still raised where Zara's face had just been.
"Haaah…"
She let out a long sigh and turned away, her footsteps echoing in the dreamlike haze as she walked into the mist alone.
—Back in reality, Zara felt a nudge against her arm. Her eyes fluttered open, vision clearing to reveal Lilith leaning in close, her gaze filled with concern.
"Zara? What happened?"
Zara blinked, still processing what she'd seen. Forcing a small smile, she thought,
what should i tell her, can i say a woman is coming and claiming me as her wife,
she shook her head getting these thoughts out of her mind,
"Ah, I'm alright. Don't worry. I was just… trying to control my strength."
Lilith sighed in relief and turned her attention back to the arena. Zara followed her gaze, but her thoughts remained tangled.
Who was that girl? That cant be a dream… it felt too real.
