"For as long as we can remember, she would appear, cast her powerful magic, and then disappear again, without a word."
"It was only recently that we discovered the truth about her secret visits. We had always wondered how the barrier remained so stable, despite the volatile nature of the abyssal gate. But it wasn't until the sixth year, when she didn't return..."
His voice trailed off, and a heavy silence filled the room. It was this year, the year she hadn't come.
More importantly, she must've done the spell while she was pregnant with me as well.
"Her spell, was a masterpiece of sealing magic. She wove together over a hundred different techniques, creating a barrier so strong that it not only contained the abyssal energy, but also prevented it from leaking into the surrounding mountains."
He looked at me, his eyes filled with gratitude and admiration.
