Ashes?
Were they... really puppets?
Charlotte's brow furrowed slightly.
Thinking it over, she accessed the Crimson Star Sea within her consciousness, and then realized... the crimson stars symbolizing Alek and Campel had gone out.
Charlotte's frown deepened instantly.
The stars in the Crimson Star Sea represented all those with Bloodline lineage.
The extinguishing of a star meant death.
In other words, Alek and Campel must have fallen.
However, the crystal core Charlotte saw in their "consciousness," as well as their disintegration akin to weathered puppets, made it difficult for her to associate them with the normal demise.
"Their consciousness... it seems to reside within that crystal, and their bodily structure is not quite like the Bloodline as I know it."
"After their death, I couldn't even sense their souls."
"They are also unlike Elves like Sebastian, who at least... Sebastian possesses a Spirit World and a soul power that I can sense."
