I watched Apollo slither through the tunnel below and sighed in disappointment, while Typhon sorted through the items from the ring.
I knew I should have expected something like this to happen, given the precedence of Morgana's punishment. However, a part of me wished Apollo would see the error in his ways and never harm Ophelia again.
Unfortunately, it looked like he was only biding his time and his good behaviour was only a ruse.
It seemed like he didn't intend to stay at all, and this made my heart tighten.
[What's wrong?] Typhon asked.
Having noticed the change in my mood, he slithered over to see what I was looking at, but there was nothing aside from colourful potion bottles and a mixture of scrolls on the ground, which made him more confused.
|[It's nothing.]| I replied. |[See if there's anything unusual in these items. I'll be right back.]|
Typhon looked suspicious, but he agreed, and I blinked into the underground.
