Leaving
One month later, Marsiel suddenly stood up, drawing both Alec and Katherine's attention to herself. Usually, whenever she did this, it meant that there was something that she wanted to excitedly show off to them.
This time, however, her tone was solemn.
"It's time," she said. Her voice was very calm. It was too different from her excited self when she spoke about seals and arrays. It was also different from the her who was indifferent when she looked at other living beings.
There was a faint tinge of loneliness and reluctance in her tone, but it was covered up well by her.
The ruins were about to close.
The two of them had spent the entire time inside the pagoda, accompanying Marisel to learn more about the craft.
Alec was naturally like a fish in water in this place, but Katherine had to painstakingly learn all the basics.
