"Who is she?" she asked. The poor girl is lying lifeless in the middle of the barren land, naked and burnt surrounded by a group of mysterious cult-like people. Tila hindi na makita ang wangis nito dahil sa lapnos niyang balat. "Patay na siya." Not a question but a fact.

"I heard they burned her whole family for treason. She's Rowana's daughter." nagulat ang mga ito sa narinig. They heard of news about a clan that is burned because of treason but they never expected that it would be the family of one of their members that left years ago.

"She shouldn't be here, how is it possible? Malayo ang lugar natin sa sentro ng Amaltheia."

"I don't know. We should go back and take her with us. Maybe Mother Irithel can do something."

Sumang-ayon naman ang iba at isa-isang naglaho sa dilim papunta sa loob ng isang lumang mansion. A couple of women greeted them upon returning.

Nahawi ang grupo ng mga kababaihan nang dumating ang isang matandang babae. They bowed as the woman approached the lifeless body of the lady. The woman held her burnt skin and whispered something.

"Her mother was one of our greatest members. I shall bring you to life," she caressed her unrecognizable face. "Morana Devon Morcelli."
