Chapter 108: Veritas (3)
I don’t know if this is happening in my consciousness or if it’s actually occurring in reality, but something was rushing towards us from beyond. If you could draw a line in the darkness and call it the horizon, it was coming from beyond that line.
“No, it can’t be.”
Clara seemed particularly alarmed. It was a surprising display of weakness from someone who had tried to bury me alive and kill me mentally.
Watching her deny it in a thin voice, I absentmindedly stared beyond the darkness. Although the room was very small, with just enough space for the throne and us to move around, it suddenly seemed vast. Then, a figure appeared. Something white and distinct.
“No! No! You can’t be here! That’s impossible!”
Clara shrieked and retreated to the wall, abandoning me. It was as if she were afraid of a predator, giving off a palpable sense of fear.
Does she know this entity? It felt like not just knowledge but antagonism.
And then… I saw a chariot pulled by a massive beast. The shape was clear to my eyes.
I instinctively crouched, fearing I would be hit, but the chariot passed through me like a mist, stopping in the centre of the room.
