197 My mother was a human

[Ten Years Ago]

While Aren and Ai look for Renasir Ari in the fae realms and the adjacent pocket dimensions, Adira has been looking for Ari in the lower worlds.

No matter how far he goes, he can't find her essence at all. It's like she's gone from this world.

To make it worse, her essence in the soil that he took from the ground where she did the true-naming has also disappeared.

He keeps looking for her. Even if it takes all the eternity, he will look for her. 

Just like that, eight years are spent in the lower realms but he doesn't find her. 

After reaching the last of the lower realm, he is surrounded by darkness. He wonders where she could be. If she has died, she could have taken rebirth. Which world would she go to?

"Rebirth." He mumbles to himself, "Where do the souls go after death in this world?"
