บท 96: Spirit Animals

"Ballister... how... how are you a dormouse..." Jacquelyn's memory rewound and flashed back at that very moment. The first person she saw was Kael, grinning at her.

'How could you, Jacquelyn? Ballister trusted you, and this is how you repay him? By calling him a rat?'

'Again? Why call Ballister a rat even in his presence?'

'Who needs a key when you have a dormouse?'

Flashback ends! Jacquelyn widened her eyes in shock. Kael wasn't teasing her. Ballister was a dormouse all along, and she had thought it was one of Kael's numerous jokes! As Ballister approached, Jacquelyn instinctively took a step back.
