The light of Caterina's mind washed over Siderius and he was swept away into the land of her memories.
There, he saw fragments of her life. Each represented a time that had passed.
Alchemy Palace allowed total control over one memory. From the moment you were born to the last sign of consciousness you had.
From here, Siderius could access memories that even Caterina didn't know she had. The first laughter when she was an infant. That night in the tavern she had too much to drink. Everything visualized vividly as fragments on an endless hallway of mirrors.
Siderius leisurely walked forward, advancing to the later memory of Caterina' life.
There he saw the fragments play back her childhood, her upbringing, even her awakening as a witch.
Caterina was similar to Jude. She was not a highborn, but a daughter of a carpenter. But she was cursed from the day she was born.
