Aurora's POV
"Why did you help me?" I asked. I was back in the darkness, but this time I was already so aware of the environment it seemed like I could see through it.
"I helped us," she answered. "And call me Oracle. You have your own name you refuse to share, so I will have mine, and I will refuse to share."
Her response was nothing like what I expected. It was laced with jealousy and a bunch of other emotions that were difficult to comprehend.
"Alright, Oracle. What's this plan? You lived my life for a decade—what was that about? Don't leave me in the dark here."
I felt the darkness draw closer in the void. I could almost feel breath on my neck.
"I lived our life. I protected us while you were away with master."
"Away with master?" I asked. "Is the master Sepherus? Do I… sorry… do we serve him?"
"His flames protect everything, guide everything. It can't and shouldn't be extinguished," she answered.
