Kathryn just smiled at the sight, then her cold and intense gaze slowly turned to Aurora and Desmond, who were hiding in Kevin's shadow.
The moment they felt her gaze, a chill ran down their spines. Sensing something was wrong, Desmond didn't hesitate to flee, using the greatest speed he could muster to rush into the shadows of the trees not too far away.
However, just as Desmond entered the shadow of the tree, he felt something was wrong.
Normally, when he entered the world of shadows, his perception of the outside world would change. He would be able to see everything in black and white. However, now, everything still looked normal.
Desmond was horrified, and he quickly understood that the same thing that had happened to the unremarkable young man had occurred to him.
He had fallen under an illusion.
Desmond's gaze quickly became wary as he stared at the darkness surrounding him.
