At that Lilith gritted her teeth. The silence pressed heavy, but Nyx's voice returned, low and deliberate.
" But you're in luck. As I told you before… I only remember a boy with golden hair and golden eyes, reborn in this world as the Hero of Light. It could be him. Or… if not, I feel he will one day lead you to the one who placed the curse. But it is only a guess. "
Lilith's hands curled into fists. Her scarlet eyes narrowed.
"And how will I know he's the one?"
Nyx smiled faintly, her crimson gaze glinting with cruel amusement.
" Because you inherited your mother's blood. Even if you are free from the curse, the moment you meet the one who placed it… you will know. The blood in your veins will react. It will be unlike anything else — the overwhelming, humiliating feeling of submission. "
Before Lilith could speak again, the shadows of Nyx's domain folded in on themselves. The stars shattered, and her world spun upside down.
