Asmond was trembling in joy because he couldn't believe that the Goddess that he respected and admired showed herself before him. He was overjoyed that he started to shed tears, but then a cold hand touched his left cheek and gently lifted his head.
"You have been through a lot, and you have proven to yourself that I was right to choose you. But this isn't the time for you to be overjoyed because the world you're living in has been destroyed. You know who did this, and I want you to do something for me, Asmond Redfeld," Mara said as she gently caressed his cheek.
"Mykel..." Asmond said under his breath.
"Yes. Mykel Alester, one of the Constellations. He destroyed your world and everyone in it. The people that you brought back to life are the only ones that exist in this world," Mara nodded her head in agreement.
