Chapter 469: Where the Moon Was Laid to Rest
Orion and Sophia simply stared at Eldric.
Neither of them spoke for a long moment.
The words he had just spoken felt heavy in the room, settling into the silence like something that could not be brushed away.
A shrine that was a grave?
Sophia's brows pulled together slowly as she tried to make sense of it.
Orion was the first to break the silence.
He let out a breath that sounded half like a laugh and half like frustration.
"You know," he said quietly, "I am very close to telling you that you're speaking complete bullshit."
Eldric did not react to his words, not even a little bit. He just stared at Orion, who dragged a hand through his hair.
"But…" Orion's voice dropped, "…you're not lying."
And that was what didn't settle well with Orion. Everything Eldric said seemed so far-fetched, but he wasn't lying. Every word he spoke was the truth.
Eldric inclined his head.
