"My lord, we finally got some details about the person you are looking for," Aria's voice rang out behind Ashen as he found his way down to his office.
Ashen stopped mid-stride, turning to her. "Where did you appear from? And why come without me calling you?"
Aria stepped into view, her expression blank. "Just keep walking, my lord. You don't want ears catching this."
Ashen dragged a hand over his face, irritation prickling. "You'd better have a reason for appearing out of nowhere."
"I do." Aria's voice dropped. "The bracelet you showed me… I traced it across every realm. It belongs to someone from the Celestial Realm."
Ashen stopped walking entirely, his boots scraping against the floor. He turned fully toward her, his dark eyes narrowing. "What do you mean?"
"I followed its strong scent," Aria explained, "and every trail ended in the Celestial Realm. There's no doubt. Whoever it belongs to… they are from there."
