Curious, I stood up upon hearing the door slowly creak open.
A head peeked in...
Strands of glossy black hair... I couldn't make out the face of the famed Eve, the mother of all humans. For some reason, I couldn't move, even though I desperately wanted to. It felt as though chains bound my entire body. Instead of resisting, I chose to simply listen. It was more than clear that Eve was behind all of this.
"A visitor? For you? I don't believe it. But since I haven't had any guests in a very... very long time... Would you like to come in?"
It was the same haunting voice I had heard five days ago. This time, however, a golden aura enveloped my body, sparing me the unpleasant experience from before.
I could clearly see Seraphine sigh to herself before offering a slight smile. "I want to speak with you, so I'll accept your courtesy."
Eve nodded, and the wooden door opened wider, obscuring my view of what lay beyond. Seraphine walked into the small wooden house without hesitation.
