A Heartless Death

Selma Payne's POV:

Emma was chatting with Avril and Mara when she saw something strange and rushed over.

"What happened?" Seeing my pale face, she asked worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell? There's a resting area over there. Why don't you go and sit for a while?"

I struggled to shift my gaze away from the painting. I grabbed Emma's arm and asked, "This painting - where did you read about this legend?"

Emma was stunned. She supported me and replied in confusion, "I heard it from the family's elders. I told you about it at the Spring Rain Pack. Do you remember?"

"Where is he? The elder who told you the legend?"

"I think he's probably dead. I remember that he entered his declining years when he took care of me briefly. I haven't heard from him for many years. He probably passed away a long time ago."
