Elaris' expression turned thoughtful.
"I sensed your presence," she admitted, "but I did not expect to find you here of all places."
Renan caught the slight shift in her tone.
"You know this place?" he asked, watching her closely.
Elaris nodded.
"Yes," she said. "And that… is another story altogether."
"Really, do you also know the progenitors?" Renan asked, curiosity written all over his face.
Elaris nodded her head and replied, "Of course, I know. What type of stupid question is that? They are the progenitors of my world, so it's expected that I would know all of them and have met them in person."
