68 Abandonment

"Master...?" Aria tilted her head, not knowing what he said.

She hoped that by speaking up, she would be able to reconnect with her master.

To her call, Zehell's face warped. It crumpled up. Signs of disgust appeared. Aria was terrified. She had never seen such an aggressive approach from her master.

Her solace. Her everything. Her light.

Who was this? Where was her gentle master? The one she knew of? The one who gave her a purpose in life?

She couldn't hear what Zehell was saying, but it must be the explanation for why he displayed such an expression.

Aria wanted to hear.

She scrambled up from the ground, running to him to hear more.

However, when Zehell realized that Aria was going to get closer to him, he backed away too.

With fear in her heart and the constant buzzing noise annoying her, Aria paid no heed to all those and chased Zehell.
