"This is yours, Avain" - Part. I

"I think the better is to see us in action when the time comes. You opted to make a mystery around your name, right? So let us make the same around our wraths," I looked surprised to hear this coming from Boyd.

"This will make things funny," said Maelli. "It's okay for you, Ava?"

"Of course."

"So it's settle," Kai spoke finally and with a smile on his lips. "What do you wanna do first? A tour of the castle? Go straight to your room? Know the surroundings? Or maybe eat something?"

"I see that you still have a ton of energies, I do too. But I think I'm just gonna go to my room, I need to think about everything that's happening and I need a cold and relaxing bath."

"Okay then, if you need anything, just say it. Come with me, I'll show you your room."

I looked at him with my eyebrows arched and he returned the look, offering me his hand which I did not accept out of pure precaution and care for my mental health. He rolled his eyes and walked towards the stairs. Before following him, I turned to the six members of his inner circle. "Bye guys, we talk later. It was a pleasure to meet all of you, even you Samantha," she gave me a wicked smile, and this time I feel calm.

"Same, little one."

When I returned to where Kai was, I found him looking at me with a contemplative look in his eyes. I don't like it. "You don't feel pain in your legs for climbing all these steps every day?" I try to change the subject.

"Don't worry about my legs, they're stronger than you could think. And I like climbing those steps every day, to be honest. You know the saying, what can't kill me, makes me stronger," he has a point.
