Curious, I stood up upon hearing the door slowly creak open.
A head peeked in...
Strands of glossy black hair... I couldn't make out the face of the famed Eve, the mother of all humans. For some reason, I couldn't move, even though I desperately wanted to. It felt as though chains bound my entire body. Instead of resisting, I chose to simply listen. It was more than clear that Eve was behind all of this.
"A visitor? For you? I don't believe it. But since I haven't had any guests in a very... very long time... Would you like to come in?"
It was the same haunting voice I had heard five days ago. This time, however, a golden aura enveloped my body, sparing me the unpleasant experience from before.
I could clearly see Seraphine sigh to herself before offering a slight smile. "I want to speak with you, so I'll accept your courtesy."
