Chapter 209: Fighting Inner Demons

The grand elder remained silent for a while. These words didn't only impact victor but her as well. She too was forever tormented by a past that could not be undone.

"Eli was my daughter Victor. Do you think there is a moment she is not within my thoughts? How many nights have I stayed up talking in the darkness as if she was there?

The years have been like seconds that flicker along with every blink of an eye. You knew the woman, while I nestled the child."

For a moment Victor was awakened from his self-pity as Old Perth continued,

"The fact of the matter was we all saw the signs but were too late to act. It is something that can sometimes sneak upon us all.

I find it somewhat of an atrocity that we frown upon mortals, yet we too are similarly susceptible to such things."

After the mere mentioning of her daughter, Old Perth couldn't help but run her hands through Sara's hair.
