They found themselves in front of the master bedroom, where once Emma and Emily's parents slept. The door remained closed as the three of them stood there, merely staring at it.
Erik panned his gaze sympathetically between the two sisters. He noticed they mirrored each other's pained and anxious expressions. He knew why they were here, and why it was difficult to open that door.
He'd seen it in Emily's memories; what they'd done with their parent's remains.
Even Emily, despite the differences she had with them, loved and missed her parents. She preferred being able to rebel against them over not having them in her life at all.
But dead they were. Neither of them were able to resist the influx of aetherium and survive the rapid growth of their aetherium storage on the day of awakening, and thus, their bodies had been reduced to ash, right in front of the eyes of their daughters.
Hey guys, I'm offering bonus chapters for reviews on this novel as well now :)
But only one per person, and not counting anyone that's already made a review (sorry :p)
And consider checking out my other novel, Lord of Shards, if you feel like reading something a little darker and with a mix of sci-fi and fantasy!
