- You don't look like him that much...
- Fake twins.
- Gédéon.
- Yes, sorry. I don't know what's happening to me. It's not like I'm used to be like that.
- It must be because of the smell that clings to you.- What smell?
- I see a kind of baby smell...
- Wait. You mean to say you can see the smell on Gédéon.
- That's it. It changes people's behavior. I've never seen such a powerful one. Your child?
- Now yes. I will kill Juliet.
- Right. So we came to get some informations on the key. Ienan wants to help you to the last step. What is this step already?
- I want to leave the lemniscates.
- There are steps for that?
- You tire me. The third part of the key is called the Obalie of Saint Etienne and was guarded by a wealthy Dutch entrepreneur Mr Rolland Bakhuijsen.
- Was?
- It was recently stolen.
- Who stole the key?
- Sebastian and Erica.
- What? But they are part of the Lemniscates!
- They betrayed us?
- They are thieves, you know... And in their defense, they were unaware that this was the key. Who would have thought that the key was a pin.
- A pin ?
- Cheer up! You have already found the haystack.
- Very funny. Okay, question: why the third part of the key was not protected?
- Ho, it was. Only two people on Earth were aware of these protections: Ienan and myself. To protect it, we have never spoken of it for 150 000 years. Then we decided to hide it in the open. We made it a rare religious object. With some wards within our reach, we have entrusted it to mortals. Whenever one of them dies, we give it to someone else. We even set up a chosen one system.
- A chosen one system?
- Yes, we made them believe they are chosen. That it's their destiny.
- But it's horrible.
- Not really. They are happy in general.
- But you put them in danger.
- Better them than us. In addition, they will fight to the death to protect their "precious"
- An ephemeral flame shines brighter than an eternal one.
- That's it.
