Capítulo 159: Seeds of Distrust

"I can't say for sure," I continued. "But he was incredibly powerful. I couldn't even move a muscle when he arrived, and the Divine couldn't either."

Silence followed my words. Finally, it was Mona who broke it. "What happened to the Divine?" Her bright green eyes focused on mine. The usual cheerful, curious glitter in her eyes was gone. Now, a deep shadow had replaced it. 

"He killed her." I touched my throat as if I were making a cut. "Just like that, he slit her throat. She didn't even get a chance to fight back – didn't even try." Just that was enough to strike fear into our hearts.
