Chapter 65

• Pondering over his words, trying to understand what was the meaning of his cryptic message. “When did I betray him?”, she tries to think of a time where she did something considered dishonesty. But nothing comes to mind, albeit she can’t let go of their True meaning. She knows, deep inside, something is there hidden in plain sight.
• “Aria?”, Eve interrupts her deep thoughts once again. “Yes?”, she responds, being pulled back into reality. “You were ruminating on his words, weren’t you?”. Arianna looks down, showing that she agrees. Sorrow overwhelms her, feeling that she must have done something. “I need to know what it is”, she asserts. “How?”, Eve asks her. “I’ll just go to him”.
• “And you think he will tell you?”. True, she knows that there’s no way he is going to give the truth just like that. “Then, how? How can I remember what happened? Akiya?”, she remembers her father, maybe he could be of assistance, even though she has resented him for so long. “Can you even trust him? I don’t. I’m not sure of his motives. He is going against Gods, had a child with a human so he can make his plans come true, and people paid the price for him”, Eve gives her input and beliefs on the matter. Arianna never thought of that, the reason for her existence to be just means to an end. But as bitter as it is, it holds True. “I know, he can’t be trusted, but I don’t see any other way out of this. And soon, Keiran will leave, and you will follow him, and I will have to make a decision”. Sympathizing with her, Eve agrees, arranging a meeting with him.
