Young Aether stared at his mother without blinking, as if his mind was struggling to process what had just transpired.
There was something inside his mother… something that felt as though it was staring back at him with a coldness that did not belong to a human being.
"Are you alright, darling?" Lia asked with a worried tone, gently watching his pale face.
Young Aether nodded before slowly shaking his head. "What's wrong with her?"
Lia looked at the woman lying before them and frowned. "I don't know… I've never felt anything like this before."
Lily, too, was taken aback by what had happened. She still could not understand why he had suddenly screamed or why he was now staring at his mother with such a troubled expression.
Young Aether stood up again. He wanted to know what had happened to her, and more importantly, what was hiding inside her.
He needed to know what was inside her. Something so powerful that it had forcibly pushed him out when he tried to reach her soul.
