Chapter 377

• Lohan opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, his eyes still fixed on me with a glimmer of concern. I knew he wanted me to reconcile with my parents, but at that moment, my heart wasn't ready for a rapprochement.
• "One thing at a time," I reminded him. He nodded, letting the matter drop, and we turned our focus back to the task at hand.
• I settled into one of the armchairs and opened my ancestor’s diary, skimming through the chapters while Lohan analyzed the book about the Feralis. I quickly identified a missing chapter in the copy, just before the middle of the book. In it, Lydia mentioned her admiration for Queen Ellis for having reached the same stage as Selene, the first Queen of Darkness. Lydia promised to do whatever it took to match Ariandel so that, together, they could bring the "blessed curse" back to the world.
