Bab 94: Chapter 94

The magical circle fades.

　　'Did you spend a lot of time with Alec?' I ask Reaper.

　　'A few hundred years till the witches imprisoned him in that dungeon.' Juniper was murdered in front of my eyes. I saw everything.' In a sorrowful tone, he says. 'Because I wasn't his familiar, I couldn't pass on my powers to him. I couldn't follow him through the portal to Pandora’s Box. The witches kept repelling me back with magic. It closed before I reached it. After years of searching for Alec, I returned to Shadowfay forest and remained there until you arrived.’

　　'I'm so sorry, Reaper. 'That's a lot for anyone to go through,' I grimace.

　　I smile and say, 'When we visit Alec tomorrow, I'll give you two some alone time to talk and catch up.'

　　'I'd like that,' says Reaper. For a while, we sit and gaze at the moon. 'Goodnight, Reaper,' I reply, kissing his beak.

　　'Night, Luna,' he caws as he flies up into his moon tree.
