Lucy remained frozen in shock. Her feet felt unbearably heavy, and all she wanted was to collapse and wake up from this nightmare.
"You mean… mother? You, and Sirius? How is that even possible?"
Neither Sirius nor Iris could give her an explanation. They simply shared what they felt.
"You've experienced it before, during the Awakening. You had to relive your entire life on repeat, to the point of nearly going insane."
Lucy nodded, recalling the ordeal.
Sirius continued.
"Well… the oldest memory I ever glimpsed was my own birth. There was a doctor, and a woman holding Iris and me in her arms. She had just given birth, and a man was standing behind her, but his image no longer comes back to me."
He paused.
"That woman looked exactly like the Regent, just as we met her today."
Lucy felt like she was about to faint, then a thought flickered in her mind.
