Silence filled the room for a moment. Oliver was the first to break it.
"What does domain of a mythical creature mean?"
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, I am. I do not even know what a mythical creature's domain is supposed to be."
She put her hand on her hip and leaned toward him.
"Has no other hybrid ever explained this to you?"
He shook his head.
"I have never met any hybrid other than you in my life."
"Wait, hold on. Were you living alone in the middle of the forest?"
"No, I lived with the others."
Her eyes narrowed.
"The others? Do not tell me you lived in one of the mythical creature clans. Even then you should at least know the basics. My goodness, did they treat you so badly that you ran away without learning anything?"
Oliver waved his hand quickly.
"No, I lived with the villagers."
"And the villagers were what exactly?"
"Humans."
Silence again.
"Are you serious?"
"How many times will you ask me that? Yes, everything I said so far is real."
