The Guardian's return cut their conversation short. There were many things Hex wished to discuss and ask but his mastery of the Veil was too low to talk in the presence of someone else.
His mother had the skills to do so, but as a fragment, she didn't wish to waste her energy on such a thing, nor would it make sense to hide, as she was in the body of someone whose disappearance would alert the Guardian.
Hex slipped in the shadows of the dimly lit corridor as the Guardian entered and went to his room. He completed his investigation but the number of questions only increased after a night full of shocks and surprises.
He met his mother.
He had not expected that. Not at all. The stories about her soul fragment seemed baseless. Even the Goddess said she never sensed her around. But somehow, she never truly left.
'There has to be a reason for her to possess that girl. She didn't do it just because she could.'
