Returning to his office, Caelan slumped over in his chair. His fingers tapped against his table as his mind began to turn.
Alice having the traces of Yvael was no coincidence.
The fact that she was practically retracing her steps could only mean one thing.
Taking a deep breath, he let out a fatigued sigh.
His mother was. . . someone who predates the Ayrian days. When the Abyss was beginning to flourish. She was the one who gave humanity the power to properly channel the energy that was ambient in the air. She was also the one who granted the Eclipse their twisted rituals.
If he was being honest, Yvael was rather. . . tame before the fall of Ayr.
But during the final battle, he could still recall his mother asking him to watch with him through an orb.
