Si just saw something explode.

  The remnants of the energy forms didn’t evaporate; they exploded. The bang was so loud that Si was deafened, his ears ringing.

  … Also. Was she laughing? He couldn’t hear, but it looked like? What a…

  The detectors everywhere were already noisy, definitely; he would have to explain himself to everyone because she certainly wouldn’t. He had to admit, what a… and then

  Si felt that what had grabbed him, let go.

  She was running away; clearly, she was rushing! Why? Well, what a… she had disappeared in the Gate.

  He was left alone there in the wreckage, trying to regain hearing.

  Si took a breath. He wasn’t in a hurry; no need now. He knew who she was and where to find her. She couldn’t escape.

  This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

  He smirked, then snorted, and then sighed.

  They would need to have a talk… how to make this kind of energy fusion and then explosion? What kind of energy did she have? How could she hold his own energy; he was as frozen?

  What was that?

  These topics somehow seemed easy.

  Why, why, his alliance fiancée had to be her?

  Minutes later, Si checked to see who had used his private Gate—the one in the library. She had called him ‘Silly.’ It had to be Anna. And yes, there was a recording of Anna, looking as if she were there just casually, for two minutes or so.

  He hadn’t managed to arrive while she was still there. She left the library quickly after she visited the bathrooms. She looked pale. Why?

  For the normal Gates, he checked, there was no person like his Anna. She didn’t go straight to the Gate, for sure. He didn’t spot her, so she changed her clothes completely and used the crowd to hide and then to travel.

  Si checked who traveled to OFF. And then he checked who went to Unio. And yes, it was her. Luna Alena, his fiancée, traveled from Shadows to Unio at 11:45 a.m. PF time.

  Anna. Luna. His fiancée. And Lukai’s girl…

  The one Si fell in love with.

  So, that was it. What a disaster.

  Si sent a message to Lukai. He described what had happened and said that they needed to talk. They truly needed to talk.
