Understanding Himself
"Tell me..."
At Kael's words, the woman paused. She didn't make any sound, she just waited for what he was going to say.
And Kael continued.
"Have you ever... felt powerless?"
At first, the woman looked thoughtful. Then, though, she smiled.
She was in a happy mood. So she didn't ignore Kael and actually listened to him.
"Of course. It took me years to get to where I am now. I've been in so many situations that I had to run for my life, barely escaping death."
She wanted to answer honestly. And she did. But instead of remaining silent, waiting for Kael to continue, she asked him a question.
"And do you know... how interesting you are?"
She didn't wait for Kael to react to her question.
"You have so many eon in your body that at first, I thought you were a follower. But you're a bearer. If you think you're weak... don't. If you stay alive, you'll probably be stronger than me when you reach my level."
