Chapter 18: Just Out of Reach

“How is it that you know everything, anyway?” Desmond asked Lydia as the pair approached the door to Atlas’ apartment.

“It’s like I told you in the beginning. I’m a wandering soul and I have been for at least two-hundred years. I’ve heard things and I’ve observed them over time,” Lydia explained. “I wanted to learn as much as I could, so I could help out other souls or even The Keeper.”

“I think I get it now,” Desmond replied with a nod.

It was as he thought, Lydia knew a lot more than she had said in the start. That much had been clear though by everything about Mykel she had been able to tell him. It sounded like the two of them were decent friends at the start. He wasn’t so sure how good their relationship was now. Mykel seemed reluctant to be around anyone. That question could be saved for later though, they needed to focus on finding a way into The Dark first.
