Walk Together

"This is different than I remember it! Something has changed!"

As Kieran revisited that particular memory, he realized that the Grand Demonic Heptagram before him was different than the one he had seen before. Something had changed, but it was a very slight change.

Had Kieran not memorized the original Grand Demonic Heptagram, he would not have been able to tell the difference. It was in the gap between the outer and the inner ring. 3 of the 41 symbols had changed.

Kieran was not going underestimate even such a small change. He knew that if any symbol or icon that represented knowledge was altered, it could cause the original meaning to change dramatically.

Among the changes on the Grand Demonic Heptagram was the scorpion-like symbol in the middle, which now had a footprint on it. It was Zywane’s footprint.

The footprint was identical to the one Zywane had left when he’d passed by Kieran to investigate the Deputy Warden’s death.
