Haunting Past (Part 1)

The wooden house disappeared, replaced by the underground rock cave. Lith stood where Threin had been until a second ago and Erslan was in Ripha's place.

"Are you alright?" Ryka asked, seeing Solus' pained expression turn into unbridled rage.

To her distressed mind, the Dawn King was tainting the memory of her mother. Lith was someone Solus loved, his presence fit her present just like her past whereas Erslan was little more than a potential ally.

Solus gritted her teeth, her eyes burning with mana evaporated the tears still streaming down her cheeks.

"Are you alright?" Lith patted her shoulder, breaking what was left of the fading images and restoring her grip on reality.

"Yes, sorry." She said, clearing her voice after realizing how squeaky it was. "I'm just a huge fan of Menadion. I'd never thought the day would come when I'd see her authentic signature in person."
