"Yes, it's me," Lina didn't deny Sierra's words. "My birth was the reason for the ban on using Avatars."
Lina, who grew up in a society of Valkyries where she was treated with condescension and contempt, expected that she would meet a similar attitude now. Instead, she saw only curiosity in the eyes of Arabel, Hailey, and Milena.
"A child born of an avatar," — Esma said, and her eyes were alight with interest.
"What happened to your wings?" she asked Lina.
Lina didn't answer, just looked away.
"She did it herself," Sierra said with a sigh, as if she had guessed everything.
Lina, very surprised by her words, confirmed with her reaction that Sierra was right.
"Why?" asked Esma, not believing her ears. "Why did you do that?"
"Because she hates us Valkyries and her Valkyrie bloodline," Sierra replied instead of Lina again.
It didn't escape her gaze that Lina didn't want to admit it in front of them, two powerful Valkyries.
