"Madam Amir, Madam Amir!" A dumbfounded security guard burst into the office.

-Yes? "What happened?" Amir raised her head in surprise.

-Eisha, girl... she... she has grown up! He says he wants to see you!

"How?!" Amir jumped up.

"Come on in." The guard suggested.

The girl, confused, followed the out-of-breath man to the room that had been specially allocated for Baal's daughter.

"Wait." The man whispered, after which he gently knocked. "Eisha?" Are you there? I brought the Lady.

"Let him come in." A teenage voice was heard from behind the door.

Amir, increasingly ceasing to understand anything, opened the door and hesitantly looked inside. In the middle of a spacious, bright room, a teenage girl stood. Shoulder-length hair, tied in a ponytail, on a belt - a flannel, held on by the sleeves, which are tied. Eisha's hands are in his pants pockets, his head tilted displeased.

"Finally!" Eisha tsked when she saw Amir.

-Eisha, baby, did you... did you... when did you get so big? I... literally yesterday, you... - Amir could not find words, looking at the girl.

"I know the whole truth." Eisha interrupted. "Where is my mother?"

Amir's face changed dramatically.

"Your... mother?" She asked uncertainty.

-Don't even try to tell me that you are my mother. Her name is Iona, she was here recently... it seems. She gave me to you, so my question is - where did she go?

-I... I have no idea, listen, I have so many questions, how are you?...

- Stop. - Eisha pointedly extended her right palm forward. - Answer - where is my mother?

By this time, Amir had come to her senses a little and answered very restrainedly:

-I don't know, unfortunately. She didn't say where she was going, only that "her path is too dangerous for you two."

"Are you not lying?" the girl asked, squinting.

-No, what are you saying, I would never....

"Swear!" Eisha interrupted. "Swear!"

Amir swallowed, raised her right hand and chanted:

-I swear I'm not lying to you, honey.

Eisha visibly sank, it seemed like this was very important to her. Backing away, she sat down on the bed and covered her face with her hands.

"Oh, no, no, no," Amir whispered, quickly approaching the girl.

The first sob was heard, Amir hugged Eisha.

-Hush, hush, you will find her, I will help, do you hear? Together we can definitely handle it, mmm?" the girl whispered.

Eisha nodded uncertainty.

"Everything will be fine, everything will be fine," Amir repeated.

After Eisha calmed down a little, Amir questioned her. It turned out that the little girl stole one sphere with karma from her mother and, as soon as she was left to her own devices, used it without knowing the consequences. Absorbing her mother's karma, Eisha saw dozens of visions and heard thousands of words, but not everything was deposited in her memory, only specific, unrelated fragments. But, most importantly, due to the fact that this was Iona's karma, Eisha received all her knowledge and skills, which of course means that she knew very well about her mom, dad and all their friends. All fighting skills were also transferred to the girl, but this was far from the main thing. Having seen and learned about her mother, Eisha was inspired to meet her, but the guards were unable to help, so they had to demand Amir.
