Bab 271: Their death secrets

"I want you to go out too." said the oracle looking at Cassius. "Only Marianne would stay here" she took my name as if she knew me since ages.

Cassius frowned as he held my hand tightly. He behaved as if we were on the enemy's border and we could get attacked any time.

"I will stay with my wife," he said in an authoritative tone.

"Cassius, go. I want to talk to the oracle." I cut him and tried to get my hand back.

He looked at me dumbfounded, but then his face hardened further.

"No, this place is not safe, and I can not leave you here alone." he said looking around.

It was a dark and crumpled dome with only one fire lamp in the corner that was too dim to see anything. There was something spine chilling and blood curdling here. Even the woman who was talking could not be seen in this darkness.

The room was colder than the whole area as if the sun never peaked in. There were no windows and the door was also covered with heavy drapes.
