Chapter 28: Question of the Heart

'Un kor desordres quaeritra duittris nel notus.'

A confused heart seeks guidance in familiarity.

An amber sun begins its descent. Red and orange light pours into the small room. Two souls beg for understanding. 'How did this happen?' Both minds track the same thought.

Without an answer, the euphoria persists. As the sweet smoke dissipates, passion diminishes in its wake.

Kiora sits upright with a hand on her temple. She looks around the room in a daze. Slowly, her wits come together. A soft panic strikes the young Daemik while recalling the other nicht. Kiora shakes her horns and gathers her bearings.

"Kiora, are you okay?" A soft voice whispers. Luce gently touches her arm. "I'm... not sure of how..."

Kiora stops him. Her heart thuds in her chest.

"It's okay," she replies. Words spill lazily through parched lips. "I... don't... know 'what' to think."
