Bab 51: Disciple

After their grandmother departed, leaving them alone outside, the siblings exchanged glances, their eyes settling expectantly upon Aduke. 

They braced themselves for the sight of her sorrow, assuming that she, like them, would be overwhelmed with sadness at their grandmother's absence. 

Yet, much to their astonishment, Aduke's countenance seemed to radiate a peculiar sense of joy.

Upon closer inspection, her happiness derived from a rather unconventional source: their grandmother's sudden act of teleportation. 

This astonishing feat meant that their beloved matriarch was temporarily out of harm's way, sheltered from the clutches of a formidable and potentially lethal entity. 

To Aduke, this was a small victory, for it implied that their grandmother had successfully eluded immediate danger, allowing her precious life to endure.
