I let out a long, tired breath. This situation was turning into something way bigger than I ever wanted to be part of.
All I had hoped for was to find a way to escape, maybe help Ana and Steve recover—but now it felt like we were getting pulled into something completely out of our depth.
Luck clearly wasn't on my side today.
Lily's huge brown eyes stayed fixed on me. There was no hostility in her gaze, but it was heavy. Like she was trying to look straight through my soul and weigh every word I had said.
After a moment of silence, I finally spoke up.
"So… how is Dahlia connected to the Deathmist?"
I tried to keep my tone calm and curious but internally I was fuming and just wanted to smash some stuff.
But before Lily could respond, the entire hall shook beneath us.
"What in the world…?" I muttered, looking around.
