Chapter 164 - EVO
***Tirnanog, Mount Aerie***
***Ivonne***
“I was so afraid!” Evanne shook while kneading her fingers, her eyes flicking nervously back and forth between me and the door as if she were afraid our brother could pay her another surprise visit. “Magnus is a psychopath! He might not remember, but he almost killed me during that airship battle! I recognized him when he broke Lukas's back! He wore a helmet back then, but that armour... and his speed. How could I ever forget!”
She shook when I touched her shoulder. My heart ached because of the obvious distress she was in. I bit my tongue, hoping Magnus hadn’t done too much damage with his visit. Couldn’t the idiot have warned me before visiting? I would have been there to prevent this mess.
“Evanne, you have to snap out of it. Magnus might be scary if you don't listen to him, but at the end of the day he is trying to protect us in his own – screwed-up – way,” I argued, not feeling it. “Once you talk with him a little more-”
“More!?” Evanne shrieked. “Please don't let him come back in here. He will kill Lukas right in front of me! And he may continue with me! There is something wrong in his head. He casually gave us a beating, broke my partner’s spine, and then he sat down to have a chat with me as if nothing happened! He forced me to discuss every little detail of our lives on Tirnanog. Even the embarrassing stuff.”
I massaged my forehead, feeling like I was getting a migraine. Although the situation differed greatly from my personal reunion with our brother, there were some frightening parallels.
Like violence being the first go-to solution, though I had to admit much of the initial animosity between us was on me.
Well, going by her recount, if Lukas had not attacked first, but who was I lying to?
