Alex followed Leo and the mysterious old man as they walked through an old, winding path. The air was thick with the scent of damp soil and decaying leaves, and the sound of crickets and other nocturnal insects filled the air. The trio continued walking until they found themselves in a dark and unfamiliar place. Alex's heart started to beat faster as he looked around, feeling a sense of unease.
The old man suddenly turned to Alex and asked, "Hey, boy, what are your mother doing and where are they?" Alex's face turned sad, and his eyes grew misty as he replied, "They have both passed away." The old man was taken aback by Alex's response. He wondered how such a person could pass away.
"How did your mother die?" asked the old man, hoping to gain some insight into what had happened. However, Alex remained silent, not wanting to bring up painful memories. The old man realized that Alex might be hesitant to speak, so he decided to use his magic to see Alex's memories.
