Chapter 131: The Men’s Familiar Destination
Following a group of mysterious men in the middle of the night was not exactly what Annalise was good at but her current situation demanded her to perform this task to the best of her ability.
"How stupid of them to leave all together without leaving a single person behind to keep eyes on us." Leela was quick to criticize the group of men as she and Annalise followed them while hiding in the shadows. The element being Damien’s core power, happily surrounded Annalise and helped her in hiding her and Leela’s presence.
"Either they have a really important task to perform that needed all of them or they just don’t find us dangerous enough to waste their manpower just to keep an eye on us," Annalise stated in response to Leela’s comment about all of the men leaving the inn and not even one of them staying begin to watch over them.
"By the way, where is that little beast of yours?" Leela asked as the two of them hid in a narrow alley when the group of men stopped in front of a closed shop. They seemed to be studying some sort of map.
"No idea, to be honest. It appears and disappears at its own will." Annalise answered truthfully as she kept her gaze focused on Ezra and his companions.
Leela was silent only for a couple of moments before she whispered again, "I am really surprised to see that you have a familiar. From what I have learned and read, only the light faes and witches used to have familiars. Ever since the great tragedy, the witches went to live in the desolate city of Enigma along with their familiars and no one got to see these beautiful and unique familiars after that."
Annalise remained silent because she had no clue about how to respond. She was also aware of how rare having familiars was and it only made it more confusing that she suddenly got a familiar of all people in their world.
"But then looking at you... this doesn’t seem really that surprising." Leela continued when she noticed that Annalise wasn’t responding to her.
"What do you mean?" Annalise asked in confusion as she spared a quick look in the girl’s direction who just shrugged her shoulders in response before replying, "You aren’t definitely someone simple. Just like those men said, you are way more powerful than you appear. So, it should not be a surprise that you have a familiar."
