"Can you... repeat what you just said?" Aether said, as he stared the witch in the eyes. He didn't know what he was feeling at the moment. He was... confused, but at the same time, slightly relieved...
The witch raised one of her eyebrows. "Didn't you hear the first time? Are you a Fool or something? My name is Avrie, Avrie Apelpisia."
Aether opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't find any words... 'This makes... no sense!'
He had seen her die right in front of him; he had gotten her death message, and more importantly, he had finished the book, so what was she doing here? How was she here? She also didn't seem to know him... so did she not have the memories of what happened in Frozen Crown?
'Speaking of it, the place outside looks nothing like the outskirts did in Frozen Crown... and time passed... so what is happening?'
Aether stared at his feet, completely bewildered, but as he did, he saw a cat that didn't look so fond of him. 'At least some things don't change.'
