Chapter 6: Vatiums speech
Vatium's disappointment was evident as he looked at Aurianna with a mixture of sorrow and disbelief. His voice was heavy with bitter experience. "Haven't you seen the suffering and enslavement inflicted on countless races? The atrocities committed for power and control?"
Aurianna felt her heart sink as she considered Vatium's words. The idealistic view she held began to waver, and the clear lines between right and wrong started to blur, leaving her struggling for answers.
Standing her ground, Aurianna's voice was a mix of defiance and confusion. "But those races... they committed terrible crimes," she argued. Vatium's revelations were challenging her understanding, and she was puzzled by his insistence on calling her by name, as if they shared a connection she couldn't recall.
