Chapter 69
Before, Gazel had been trying to understand the strange vision.
Now it clicked.
His eyes locked onto the dead-eye girl.
She had been staring at him the entire time.
Unblinking. Silent. Watching.
He was certain of it now.
She was there.
That night.
When he killed the Shural.
Maybe that was why her gaze never left him. Maybe she saw everything.
But what twisted his thoughts even more was this…
If she saw him kill the Shural, why did she not report him?
He still could not remember everything. The night was shattered into broken fragments in his mind. Blood. Heat. Power. Something inside him awakening.
Yet she said nothing.
She just stared.
All day long.
Gazel did not know whether to feel relieved… or terrified.
And then the real bomb dropped.
The old Oracle's voice rang out, filled with finality and iron confidence.
"The most important part is this… the demon is here. On these grounds. With us."
Gazel's heart stopped.
Not slowed.
Stopped.
