"You have angered the Laws, Aether.... The Laws are now forcing you to choose."
Those eerie words from the Prophetess suddenly echoed in Aether's mind, sending a chill down his spine as he blankly stared at the ominous Ebon Stone.
"That motherfucking Law of Nature!" Aether growled, his teeth grinding together in pure frustration.
Dora, standing beside him, glanced at the stone with narrowed eyes. "Yeah... now that I think about it, there were no forbidden letters written on it, right?" She crouched down, running her fingers across its smooth surface, checking every inch carefully just to be sure.
Yet, no matter how much she searched, there was nothing. "Maybe it wasn't written here to begin with?"
Aether shook his head almost immediately, "No, I know what I saw..." His jaw tightened as a surge of regret coursed through him. 'Fuck! I should have at least read it before!' His fingers dug into his palm as he cursed himself for not reading in the previous timeline!
