章 34: Past Life

"Are you telling me that what I dreamt of actually happened?" I asked, utterly perplexed. Zane had a slight frown on his face and was deep in thought.

"Yes, it did happen, and you were reincarnated," he finally answered, his voice devoid of any warmth or concern. 

I stared at him in disbelief. Reincarnation was a concept I'd heard of in stories and myths, something that happened in fantastical worlds, not in my own reality. My mind struggled to make sense of his words.

"I don't understand," I admitted, my voice quivering.

Elder Tali, who had been silently observing our conversation, leaned forward, her eyes filled with an ancient wisdom that seemed to penetrate my very soul. "Child, what you experienced in your dream was not a mere vision. It was a glimpse into your past life."

"Past life?" I echoed, feeling like I had stepped into a surreal realm where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blurred.
