Gavriel did not give an immediate answer and his gaze fell at the dark space again. "I found out from him that the faery had been living there in the imperial palace. Or it was more apt to say that the faery was trapped inside a huge black crystal, the exact same stone that your necklace is made of. It seemed that the crystal was already there for a very long time. Even Lorcan has no idea how long the crystal has been sitting there. But it was the previous emperor, Lorcan's father, who had accidentally awakened the creature inside the crystal." Gavriel sneered slightly when he mentioned that.
Evie's voice softened as she continued asking. "How did he manage to awaken the faery?"
Gavriel pressed his lips tight, he looked like he was deciding right then if it was right for him to reveal this to her.
"Tell me more," Evie urged Gavriel, fully noting and understanding the complicated look in his eyes. "I truly want to know. Please?"
