Her eyes flicked to Zach, still kneeling and broken, then to Rey, who stood like an unshakable pillar in the storm of emotions surrounding them.
'Good thing I manipulated Zach's memories before this mission began,' Seraph mused. She felt a small swell of satisfaction. Even if Rey uses his magic to dig deeper, he'll find nothing. Ancient MajiK leaves no trace for him to unravel.'
