Chapter 527: Reminiscence
Surprisingly enough the next one to break out of the illusion was Bob. Looking like he did not quite understand what was happening to him, the sunless then took a look around before walking up to Sofia’s group and sitting there next to them.
“Are you doing good, Bob?” Sofia asked, uncertain of whether Everelle’s Sunless could even understand the common language or not. Bob turned in Sofia’s direction when she said Bob, but that was all she got for an answer.
Oh well… The others will be out soon.
Ihuarah shook off the illusion soon after, starting to stretch after he quickly glanced around to check how everyone else was. “This was certainly something,” he finally said, “a bittersweet moment to be remembered. How do you fare?” he asked Sofia while he walked up to Everelle to check on her.
“I have conflicted feelings…”
“Such is often the case when one confronts their past. You are young still, lady Sofia, one learns to accept and work with these emotions, eventually. Although they never quite disappear… Perhaps discussing what we saw would help you sort out your feelings?”
“I… That might be an idea…” Sofia accepted without thinking.
“I see you are more shaken than you let on, well, let me start, in this case. Hopefully it will help distract your thoughts. Do you remember the story of my Empire?” Ihuarah asked.
“Of course, though you never said much… It was somewhere north of Exidia, right?”
