Cecelia glanced toward the entrance of Graylight. "Jin and Edwin just followed you," she said.
"They went in right after you disappeared. I thought they'd catch up to you, but… they never came back."
"We should wait," she replied. "They'll return soon."
Cecelia frowned. "I don't like this. That entrance… something's wrong with it. It plays tricks on your mind."
Elysia stayed quiet for a moment.
(What does all this have to do with Kael?) she thought. (Oh… I forgot to ask about Kael.)
The image of the old man's cold smile flashed in her memory.
"Every traveler must trade a coin to enter… or to leave."
She clenched the coin tightly in her palm. (I'll find out what this ancient coin does… and what it trades for.)
But then another thought crossed her mind. (How do I even find that out?)
Meanwhile, inside the City of Graylight, Edwin's desperate voice echoed through the ruins.
"Jin! Jin, snap out of it!"
He grabbed Jin's shoulder, shaking him violently.
